ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Manager - CTAL-TM FREE EXAM DUMPS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

'Safe as Houses' is a company that specialises in home security software, including alarm systems, surveillance cameras and other forms of deterrence.
It is currently developing the software for a device which simulates an active television, producing sound and light images that suggest someone is home watching the television. 'Safe as Houses' recently won a lucrative contract to supply the software to Smart Alarms', who will be manufacturing the hardware devices Sound will be created using actual television and film archives, licensed through a third-party supplier, 'Silver Sound Ltd'. A user interface will be developed in house to allow the customer to choose sound tracks.
The software will be delivered as a programme of work, consisting of three projects. Project 1 will develop the software for the light images. Project 2 will develop the sound system and Project 3 will integrate the two using hardware prototypes supplied from 'Smart Alarms'. The programme will conclude with 'Smart Alarms' performing User Acceptance testing in usability labs.
The 'Safe as Houses' test team has experience in testing alarm and surveillance systems but lacks experience in testing light imagery software. The organisational test policy includes the following objectives:
1 Exploratory testing should be used to augment more formal, structured testing within constraints of time and budget
2. Test automation tools should be purchased and employed to maximise the breadth and efficiency of regression testing The Programme risk register currently includes the following risks:
RISK1 Working prototypes will be delivered late to the integration test environments RISK 2 A delay in signing the contract with 'Silver Sound Ltd' will impact the programme schedule RISK 3 Inexperience in testing light imagery software will cause major defects to be missed RISK 4 The user interface software for the sound systems will be delivered late into testing Refer to SCENARIO 2 - The IT Director for 'Safe as Houses' is recruiting a Programme Test Manager and has been provided with a skills matrix for four prospective candidates.
