Questions # 1:

You are Test Manager for a project which is in the Test Implementation stage for the first planned iteration, creation of the initial Test Cases and required test data is progressing well.

The Test Strategy documents the Stakeholders view that small teams should collaborate together to create and test functionality which is to be released in iterations, with each release building on the success of the last.

Stakeholders are willing to accept the risks of a partly working system in the early stages. Delivery of working functionality (particularly around interfaces to third party systems and performance of back end databases) is the priority for the early releases.

Which of the following test types would you select for this first planned iteration, in order to meet Stakeholders expectations?

a) Usability testing

b) Structural testing

c) Functional testing of process flows

d) Performance testing

e) Business process testing

f) Component integration testing

Questions # 6:

Assume that you are part of a team conducting test design for a new university system that will allow students to update their own personal information. The Test

Strategy states that positive and negative testing should be carried out. along with performance, security and interoperability testing against all new requirements.

The following requirements have been identified by stakeholders:

1. Students must be able to make changes to the following information:

a Name (due to marital status)

b Marital status

c. Home address

d. Home telephone number

e. Email address

f. Mobile telephone number

g. Contact details in case of emergency

2 Only Reception staff must have access to the information held.

3 The system must support 2000 concurrent users and details updated on the system within 20 seconds.

4. Interoperability of the new system with the other systems maintained by the University for student Registrations.

Test analysis for functional and non-functional testing has iust bequn and the following test conditions have been identified:

Question # 6

Which one of the following is a valid test condition that is missing from the table of test conditions and has clear traceability back to the test strategy and requirements?

SELECT ONE OPTION

Options:

A.

Time taken to update student information is 20 seconds or less when sup-plied correctly, or an error message is returned

B.

System is compatible with market leading accessibility tools for blind or partially sighted users.

C.

Correct input of home telephone numbers using a string of alpha characters only.

D.

Correct input of student's date of birth details, using the format dd/mm/yyyy

Expert Solution
Questions # 7:

Which of the following statements correctly describes a 'depth-first approach' to managing risk based testing? SELECT ONE OPTION

Options:

A.

The highest risks are tested in more depth than the lowest risks.

B.

A sample of tests is selected to ensure coverage of every risk item at least once.

C.

The lowest risk tests should only be run once the highest risk tests have passed.

D.

All of the highest-risk tests are run before any lower risk tests, and tests are run in strict risk order.

Questions # 8:

You are testing a new product that will turn on the windshield wipers of a car when the sensors detect there is moisture on the windshield. Depending on the information

returned from the sensors, the wipers will be turned on at one of the following speeds: slow intermittent, medium intermittent, fast intermittent, slow constant, medium

constant, fast constant. Your team has identified the following test condition:

Test Condition 1.1.1 - Verify that the windshield wipers can go from slow constant to fast constant speed when the amount of moisture increases appropriately.

Your team has defined the following steps for a test case for this test condition:

1. Set the moisture sensor to request slow constant

2. Increase the moisture to set the sensor to request fast constant

3. Verify that the wipers respond with fast constant speed

Given this information, which of the following statements is correct? [2]

Questions # 9:

You are a Test Manager at a company that develops mobile phone applications. Based on historical data in your company, you have calculated the following average metrics for system testing:

• for each 100 LOC (Lines Of Code). 4 test cases are executed

• each test case takes on average 15 minutes to execute and check

• for each 1000 LOC, 5 defects are found

You have used this information to create an estimate for the system testing of a new mobile phone application being developed to submit gas and electricity readings.

The application delivered for system testing has 50.000 lines of code. At the end of system testing, 250 defects are discovered.

Assume that:

• the system test of the new mobile phone application will require the same amount of effort as previous applications

• defect density = number of defects/1000 LOC

• no new tools or processes have been introduced to the test team

Based only on the given information, which one of the following statements is true about this new mobile phone application?

SELECT ONE OPTION

Options:

A.

The time taken to run all the estimated tests would be 750 hours.
