Identify THREE items that would be part of the work-breakdown structure showing the key testing activities for the acceptance test project. 2 credits (for 2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)
- A . Test planning, test case preparation and test execution for each of the four iterations
- B . Work should be explicitly allocated to test completion, test management, installation and to training on using the system
- C . Activities to deploy the system in the user environment
- D . Regression testing in the second, third and fourth iterations
- E . Development activities for unit and integration testing
- F . Reviews on requirements documentation
- G . Defining test environment requirements for system testing
In general, why is it NOT a good idea to estimate the testing effort based only on a percentage of development effort? Identify THREE valid reasons. 1 credit
- A . The quality of the development estimate may be poor.
- B . In general bottom-up estimation is always better than top-down estimation.
- C . The percentage based technique only applies to the V life cycle model.
- D . Using the same percentage every time does not address the level of risk of the application to be tested.
- E . The maturity of the organization, e.g. the quality of the test basis, quality of development testing, configuration management, availability of test tools, also influence the effort needed for testing.
- F . It builds on large set of historical data
- G . The result is almost always a too low estimate for the required test effort
Which aspect in the test estimate is the main risk in this project? 1 credit
- A . Quality of the specification
- B . Availability of end-users
- C . The costs of hardware and tools
- D . Unknown input quality due to third party development
Topic 8, Scenario 8, V2 "Test Proems Improvement’
You have raised the issue that improving the testing process is also dependent on the status of the software development process.
Model characteristics:
Which THREE of the below mentioned characteristics relate to TMMi? 1 credit
- A . 5 maturity levels
- B . Focussed on higher level testing
- C . 20 key areas
- D . Highly related to CMMI
- E . Continuous model
- F . Staged model
- G . Focussed on component and integration testing
- H . Is build around 12 critical testing processes
Comparing TMMi and TPI, which is not a valid reason for choosing either TPI or TMMi? 2 credits
- 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? 1 credit
- A . ISO 9126
- B . IEEE 829
- C . BS 7925/2
- D . DO-178B
Which of the following phases in the fundamental test process is considered to deliver a document which can be used as a major input for test process improvement? 1 credit
- A . Test planning and control
- B . Test implementation & execution
- C . Evaluating exit criteria and reporting
- D . Test project closure
A test assessment has been carried out using the selected model as a reference framework. A number of recommendations have been identified and you are asked to prioritize them. Based on your knowledge of the project, you are expecting severe resistance to change.
Which of the following would be the most important selection criterion for defining the priority of the recommendations? 2 credits
- A . Synchronized with the overall long-term organizational strategy
- B . Defined according to the maturity model used
- C . Most visible to stakeholders
- D . Low costs actions first
During test process improvement it is recommended to use standards where possible. Standards originate from various sources and they cover different subjects in relation to testing Pick TWO sources of software standards, useful to software testing from the ones mentioned below. 1 credit
- A . ISO 9126-1 ‘Software engineering- Product quality Part 1:
Quality model’ is an international standard, that provides a basis on which to define quality assurance solutions. - B . ISA 4126-1 ‘Software engineering- Product quality Part 1:
Quality model’ is an international standard, that provides a basis on which to define quality assurance solutions. - C . BS-7925-2 ‘Software testing. Software component testing is a national standard used internationally. It covers a number of testing techniques that may be useful both on component testing level and on system testing level.
- D . SY-395-01 ‘Standard for East Coast Hospital software’ is a regional standard adapted from a national one. Besides hospital software, this standard ought to be used also by other types of software system in the region.
- E . IEEE 829 ‘standard for software test documentation’ is an international standard to be following mandatory by all testing origination regardless of lifecycle models.
Topic 9, Scenario 9 "Test Management Documentation"
A software house is concerned about the number of defects found in software released to its customers. They are starting to plan a new software product. In the past, releases have often been stopped due to poor planning and too many defects found during high level testing. You have been recruited to the newly created position of test manager and asked to develop a test strategy, manage the testing of the project and organize the resources needed to carry out the testing.
Within the projects, a master test plan and phase test plan will be used. Following is a list of characteristics applicable for test plans:
a) Any deviation from the procedures described in the test
b) strategy document
c) The overall estimated costs, timescales and resource
d) requirements
e) A detailed schedule of testing activities
f) The development deliverables to be tested
g) Which test staff members (names) will be involved and when
h) Level of requirements coverage achieved
Which TWO of the above mentioned characteristics relate to the phase test plan? 1 credit
- A . a
- B . b
- C . c
- D . d
- E . e
- F . f
