What is the main reason why reviews are especially beneficial in the above-mentioned scenario? 2 credits
- A . They ensure a common understanding of the product.
- B . They find defects early.
- C . They enhance project communication.
- D . They can be performed without exercising the code.
The introduction of reviews and inspections has often failed as a process improvement action. Identify the THREE most important measures that should be taken to reduce the risk that this test process improvement will fail. 2 Credits (for 2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)
- A . Process ownership and experienced moderators who drive the inspection process.
- B . Management support
- C . Training of those involved
- D . The availability of stands and processes
- E . Usage of a more traditional software development lifecycle
- F . Alignment with software process improvement
- G . Using a reference model, e.g. TMMi
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? 1 credit
- A . Review tool
- B . Test execution tool
- C . Static analysis tool
- D . Test design tool
Topic 3, Scenario 3 "Tool Selection and Implementation"
Your company is considering whether or not to purchase a test tool suite from a respectable vendor. Your manager has searched the internet for comparable products but none of them meets his specific requirements. A tool demonstration has been arranged for next week and your team has been invited to attend. The tool suite consists of a test management tool, test execution tool and a requirements management tool. There is the possibility of adding a performance testing tool at a later stage. You have decided to attend the demo but raise some issues beforehand regarding expectations.
Which of the following would you least expect to form part of the analysis of initial tool costs? 1 credit
- A . Integration with other tools
- B . Learning time required to use the new tool
- C . Tool portability
- D . Evaluation of suitable tools
Select THREE issues from the options provided that should at least be raised. 1 credit
- A . Has there been sufficient comparison of tools?
- B . What are the problems we are trying to address?
- C . Do we have a set of tool requirements to validate the tool against?
- D . How will the implementation be organized?
- E . Which project will be selected to perform the tool pilot?
- F . Is customized training available?
- G . How will the change process be managed?
Topic 4, Scenario 4, V1 "Test Management Tool"
A software development company that sells an established capture-replay tool has decided to complement it with a test management tool. The capture-replay tool was developed over a number of years and is used by a large number of clients.
The test management tool will be developed by the same team that developed the capture-replay tool, using the same technology. The company test strategy mandates that structural testing is focussed at the component test level and dynamic non-functional testing is focussed at the acceptance test level.
In response to growing customer demand, it is proposed to develop the test management tool in an incremental manner. Each increment will be developed using the V life cycle model. The target platform is a PC in a local area network. The PC uses a proprietary relational database and communicates with a single PC which acts as a server.
The test management tool must interface with the company s capture replay tool. Over the first 12 months of the development period the following functionality will be developed for the tool (in two increments): basic requirements management, support for test case creation; support for test procedures, test scripts and test suites. The functionality to be included in later increments will be driven by customer demand: however they expect to provide an incident management system, a web front-end, and interfaces to other proprietary tools and database management systems.
Which of the following would you expect to see in the master test plan? 1 credit
- A . A description of how the test cases are cross-referenced to requirements in the test management tool.
- B . A detailed identification of the resources that will carry out structural testing in the first iteration.
- C . The test approach that will be applied at system integration testing.
- D . A list of the names of the testers who will carry out the performance testing for the final iteration.
Which of the following is a characteristic of good testing in any life cycle model? 1 credit
- A . Analysis and design of tests begins as soon as development is completed.
- B . Some, but not all, development activities have corresponding test activities.
- C . Each test level has test objectives specific to that level.
- D . All document reviews involve the development team.
Which of the following are valid reasons for adopting a different life cycle (from the V model), for increments after the first year? 2 credits
i. We do not have a clear understanding of the requirements from a customer perspective.
ii. We see the risk of delivering requested functionality late as being higher than the risk of delivering a lower quality product.
iii. We do not have a budget for additional regression testing which is needed to ensure that existing functionality is not compromised by future iterations.
iv. The company test strategy does not fit well within the V life cycle model.
- A . (i) and (ii)
- B . (i) and (iv)
- C . (ii) and (iii)
- D . (ii) and (iv)
Which of the following would be the most significant input to estimating the time to carry out the specified testing tasks? 3 credits
- A . The skills and experience of developers to correct the failures.
- B . The standards used for the requirements specification.
- C . The metrics recorded from testing the capture-replay tool.
- D . The number of testers in the company and their grade.
Which of the following would be the TWO most appropriate examples of entry criteria documented in the system integration test plan? 2 credits
- 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.
