Regarding the process described above, what is the most important recommendation you would make using IEEE 1044 as a guide?

A. No priority or severity assigned

B. Incident numbering is manual rather than automated

C. No mentioning of reproduceability

D. No classification on type of incident

As part of the test strategy, entry and exit criteria will be defined for each test level.

Which is NOT a valid reason for using entry and exit criteria?

A. The expectation is that development testing is not adequate.

B. Exit criteria are used to decide on when to stop testing.

C. Entry and exit criteria are a principal way for getting adequate resources.

D. Using entry and exit criteria will prevent software that is not or poorly tested from going to the next test level.

Comparing TMMi and TPI, which is not a valid reason for choosing either TPI or TMMi?

A. If the scope of test performance improvement covers all test levels, TMMi is preferred since TPI focusses mainly on black-box testing.

B. If the organization is already applying CMMI, TMMi may be preferred since it has the same structure and uses the same terminology. TMMi addresses management commitment very strongly and is therefore more suitable to support a top-down improvement process.

C. TPI is much more a bottom-up model that is suitable for addressing test topics for a specific (test) project.

D. TMMi can only be used with the traditional V model,whereas TPI can be used with all types of software life cycles.

The test improvement project will take place in an organization developing a safety- critical avionics application.

Which one of the following standards do you believe would be most appropriate to take into account for compliance during your assignment?

A. ISO 9126

B. IEEE 829

C. BS 7925/2

D. DO-178B

You have investigated different possibilities and selected four of them to present to IT management.

Which of the proposals will you most likely give your highest recommendations?

A. Insourcing of test automation based on an offer from a local company ABC that has people who are specialists in system level capture-replay automation tools and they also do regular training courses in test automation methods and tools. They can then work closely with Vicki.

B. Outsourcing of test automation based on an offer from an Asian company, AsiaAutoTest, which has people who are specialists in system level capture-replay automation tools. They also offer training and besides they offer to run and maintain the regression tests in the future.

C. Internal offer from the development department of XYZ to create the regression package using CppUnit as test automation tool. One of the development groups have very good experiences in automating unit tests, and they are willing to do training as well.

D. Solution from a tool vendor offering to educate two test team members in the use of their easy- to-use test automation capture replay tool over the first 3 month and based on that build the regression test suite. In addition to Vicki, Steve is the only one that has time available to be educated.

You are considering involving users during test execution. In general, what is the main reason for involving users during test execution?

A. They are a cheap resource

B. They have good testing skills

C. This can serve as a way to build their confidence in the system

D. They have the ability to also focus on invalid test cases

Based on the information given in the scenario, identify how the team could be improved most effectively?

A. By providing training in the payroll domain

B. By providing a workshop on test design techniques

C. By providing specific training on the systems being tested

D. By providing training on reviewing requirements

Which of the following is a valid drawback of independent testing?

A. Developer and independent testing will overlap and waste resources.

B. Developers loose the sense of responsibility and independent testers may become a bottleneck.

C. Independent testers need extra education and always cost more.

D. Independent testers will become a bottleneck and introduce problems in incident management.

You have been asked to write a testing strategy for the company.

Which statement best explains how risk can be addressed within the testing strategy?

A. A test strategy should address identified generic product risks and present a process for mitigating those risks in line with the testing policy.

B. A test strategy identifies the specific product for a project risk and defines the approach for the test project.

C. A test strategy is derived from the test policy and describes the way risk assessments are performed in projects.

D. A test strategy is the result of a project risk analysis and defines the approach and resources for testing.

Which of the following is least likely to be used as a technique to identify project and product risks?

A. Brainstorming

B. Inspections

C. Expert interviews

D. Independent assessments

Which of the following would be the TWO most appropriate examples of entry criteria documented in the system integration test plan?

A. The percentage of decision coverage achieved during unit testing.

B. The availability of the latest version of the capture-replay tool (for testing the interface with the newly developed test management tool).

C. The sign-off of a performance test software release note (test item transmittal report) by both development and testing showing that system performance meets the specified acceptance criteria.

D. The percentage of acceptance test procedures scheduled for execution.

E. The percentage of requirements coverage achieved during system integration test.

As part of the improvement program, the organization is also looking at tool support.

Which type of tool could be used to ensure higher quality of the code to be reviewed?

A. Review tool

B. Test execution tool

C. Static analysis tool

D. Test design tool
