Question No. 1

Which of the following statements describing the consequences of specifying test conditions at a detailed level is NOT true?

Number of correct responses: 1

AIn an environment where the test basis is continuously changing, it is recommended to specify test conditions at a detailed level in order to achieve a better maintainability

BThe specification of test conditions at a detailed level can be effective when no formal requirements or other development work products are available

CThe specification of test conditions at a detailed level can require the implementation of an adequate level of formality across the team

DFor system testing, the specification of test conditions at a detailed level, carried out early in the project as soon as the test basis is established, can contribute to defect prevention

Correct Answer: A

Question No. 2

Which of the following statements describing how identified product quality risks should be mitigated and managed, is true?

Number of correct responses: 1

AThe extent of re-testing and regression testing activities should be based on the risk level

BThe identification of new risks, the re-assessment of the level of existing risks and the evaluation of the effectiveness of risk mitigation activities should only occur at the very beginning of a project

CRisk mitigation of product quality risks can be effective only after starting test execution

DThe priority of the development and execution of tests should not be based on the risk level but only on the likelihood

Correct Answer: A

Question No. 3

Which of the following statements about the STEP test process improvement model is true?

Number of correct responses: 1

AIn the STEP model, tests validate the requirements and use cases when they are developed

BThe STEP model stresses defect detection and demonstration of capability, whereas the defect prevention is a secondary potential goal of testing

CThe STEP model assures that the system requirements specification and the test design specification processes don't overlap

DIn the STEP model, testware design occurs after coding

Correct Answer: A

Question No. 4

Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing?

Number of correct responses: 1

ADefine very detailed mission statements, which allow testing work to be broken into sessions of up to 10 minutes duration in which testing is guided by these mission statements

BBreak the testing work in 30 to 120 minutes sessions and use properly defined mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing during these sessions

CDefine very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test

DExploratory testing should not be managed because such testing is inherently unmanageable and not measurable

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Question No. 5

Assume you have some data related to confirmation testing during system testing of a past project.

In that project 240 bug reports have been opened once, 80 were opened twice, 10 were opened three times and no bug reports have been opened more than three times.

You estimate that a bug report, which has failed its confirmation test, costs, on average, 3 person-hours.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the value of these confirmatory testing activities based on cost of quality?

Number of correct responses: 1

A300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure

B340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of external failure

C340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure

D300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of detection
