Topic 15, 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.
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? 1 credit
- 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.
Which THREE activities would be valid steps during the development of the test strategy?2 credits (2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)
- A . Identify test staff members that will be involved in the system test
- B . Define test career paths
- C . Understand the software development life cycle used by the software house
- D . Assess the testing that needs to be done to minimize the risks
- E . Issue the test strategy document for review
- F . Define a master test plan template
- G . Perform a project risk analysis
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

Topic 16, Scenario 10, V1 "Online Application"
There is a formal requirement from the business to develop an additional on-line application to the company website which will allow existing policyholders to extend their cover for short-term foreign use of their vehicle overseas. The current manual process will be retained. The application must be implemented in months time in line with the marketing department’s green initiative, which is anticipated to generate a significant increase in demand.
The development manager has insufficient resources to meet this request and has issued an invitation to potential bidders so that the development work can be outsourced.
The application must initially cover Western Europe, and later Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East, the Far East and Africa. A decision has yet to be made with respect to Australia, New Zealand, North and South America.
You have been asked to ensure the quality and suitability of the document sent to potential bidders and also that the application delivered by the successful bidder is ‘Tit for purpose’.
The development manager is managing the review of the responses received from bidders, and has asked the in-house test manager to provide a review checklist for the test management aspects of the responses .
Which of the following checkpoints would be appropriate? 2 credits
- A . The bidder’s test policy should enforce that incident management fully conforms to IEEE 1044.
- B . The bidder’s project strategy shows that the data content of all the test environments conforms to EU standards.
- C . The bidder’s test plan shows that the application will be delivered for acceptance in six months time.
- D . The bidder’s project test plan depicts a phased implementation with later delivery dates to be confirmed and states that test deliverables will be developed using IEEE 829 as a
guide.
Which of the following product risks would be most effectively addressed just by static testing? 3 credits
- A . In the delivered application, one of the countries, as specified in the requirements, has not been correctly implemented.
- B . The application takes too long to process a request for additional cover.
- C . The test cases do not cover the key requirements.
- D . The successful bidder may not deliver all the required functionality on time.
Topic 17, Scenario 10, V2 "Online Application"
While waiting for the responses, the test manager has been asked to prepare test plans to validate the software application delivered by the successful bidder.
Which one of the following estimation approaches is appropriate at this stage of the project? 2 credits
- A . Create an estimate based on the function point analysis technique and test point analysis
- B . Create an estimate based on the complexity of the code
- C . Create an estimate based on the credentials of the successful bidder
- D . Create an estimate based on a percentage of the development effort
Topic 18, Scenario 10, V3 "Online Application"
The cancellation of a current major development project has released resources. The development manager has decided to respond to his own request to tender and has
proposed an in-house development with the use of a Rapid Application Development (RAO) approach.
Why might a RAD approach be a better option for the test manager rather than a sequential development? 2 credits
- A . It will extend the development team’s abilities and enhance future delivery capabilities.
- B . It will allow the marketing, clerical and testing staff to validate and verify the early screen prototypes.
- C . Time-box constraints will guarantee code releases are delivered on schedule.
- D . More time can be spent on test execution as less formal documentation is required.
Which of the following is NOT a typical key challenge for testing in a RAD based development approach? 1 credit
- A . Re-usable test scripts for (automated) regression testing
- B . Project management and control
- C . No complete requirements specification
- D . Time-boxing
The business has asked for a weekly progress report .
Which of the following would be appropriate as a measure of test coverage? 2 credits
- A . Percentage of business requirements exercised
- B . Percentage of planned hours worked this week
- C . Percentage of countries that have test scenarios
- D . Percentage of test iterations completed
