Question 4

Assume you have some data related to confirmation testing during system testing of a past project.
In that project 240 bug reports have been opened once, 80 were opened twice, 10 were opened three times and no bug reports have been opened more than three times.
You estimate that a bug report, which has failed its confirmation test, costs, on average, 3 person-hours.
Which of the following statements correctly describe the value of these confirmatory testing activities based on cost of quality?
Number of correct responses: 1

A. 340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of external failure B. 300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure C. 300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of detection D. 340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure

I. Test process improvement is important because being focused only on the test process it can provide recommendations to improve the test process itself, but it can't indicate or suggest improvement to areas of the development process
II. Test process improvement is important because it is much more effective than software process improvement to improve the quality of a software system
III. Test process improvement is important because several process improvement models (STEP, TPI Next, TMMi) have been developed over the years
IV. Test process improvement is important because every organization, regardless of the context, should always achieve the maximum level of maturity of testing described in the test improvement models such as TMMi
Which of the following answers is correct?
Number of correct responses: 1

A. I. and IV. are true; II. and III. are false B. I., II. and III. are false; IV. is true C. I., II., III. and IV are false D. I., II. and III are true; IV. is false

Number of correct responses: 1

A. The testers are asked to perform, in parallel with their testing tasks, other tasks unrelated to their testing responsibilities B. The same regressions tests are executed manually by the same testers, for every product release, without any progression in content C. The resources allocated for the testing activities are not sufficient and don't allow the testers to contribute to the quality of the product D. The testers contribution to the quality of the software products developed from an organization is recognized with increased responsibilities

Question 7

In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of a project you are working on as Test Manager.
You have identified as one of the main project risks, that the requirements specification will still be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase.
Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test preparation.
You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the same organization.
Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at mitigating this risk?
Number of correct responses: 1

A. Don't design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that test execution is blocked due to incomplete requirements B. Make reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight tests that can be easily updated during test execution C. Don't prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the new features don't introduce regression D. Even if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project manager without preparing any tests
