You are a Test Manager on a new project. The software that is being created will be used to control the projectors in movie theaters. This is a time critical project because the software must be released before the Christmas holiday season which has the highest movie attendance of the year. You have decided to implement a review process for the work products that are a part of this release to save both time and money. In order to expedite the training, you brought in a consultant to train the participants and moderators in proper review processes. Your team is enthusiastic about participating in the reviews.
The project is in the early planning stages. As the review leader, what is an appropriate activity for you to be doing at this point in the project? [3]
- A . Selecting the review items and the appropriate review type
- B . Gathering metrics to determine the success of the review process
- C . Calculating the ROI for the review process
- D . Setting a minimum number of defects to be identified in each review
You are Test Manager working on a project which is improving the user interface for its call centre staff handling customer enquiries. The project has completed UAT for the first iteration; however a large number of defects were raised by call centre staff seconded to help with the User Acceptance testing.
The defects described the user interface as not being intuitive enough with a poor ‚help‘ facility. A user representative spent a week working with developers and system testers to explain the issues, which were subsequently agreed to have resulted from poorly specified usability requirements. The requirements were defined separately for each iteration and have been formally reviewed by business analysts, developers and the IT director.
The user representative was also able to answer a number of other questions that the system test team had regarding call centre workflows, which improved their domain knowledge.
You have been asked to conduct a project retrospective and recommend improvements for the next iteration which introduces further user interface changes.
Which of the following would be the MOST effective improvement for the next iteration?
- A . System test analysts to attend external training on usability testing techniques.
- B . System test cases to incorporate usability testing and be reviewed by a call centre user representative.
- C . Call centre representatives to participate in reviews of the user interface requirements.
- D . A call centre user representative to be seconded to the system test team to help improve test design.
You are the Test Manager on a new project. The schedule is aggressive and will require the team to work at peak efficiency. The requirements are not well defined yet, but it is clear that the project will be using new technologies. To help the developers meet the development schedule, an offshore group will be added to the development team.
At this time there is not enough budget to add more testing resources. The project stakeholders are very concerned about the quality of the delivered product and will be watching the project closely, particularly during the testing cycles. The exit criteria from the system test level require no open high priority/severity defects, 100% pass rate for all test cases covering risks that are classified as "high" or "very high", 95% pass rate for all "medium" risks and 75% pass rate for all "low" and "very low" risks.
Given this information, which of the activities of the standard test process are the most critical for the Test Manager to perform? [3]
- A . Requirements reviews
- B . Test execution
- C . Test monitoring and control
- D . Project management, particularly regarding scheduling and budgeting
What is a "depth-first" risk-based testing technique? [1]
- A . Highest risk test cases are executed first
- B . All risk items are tested at least once
- C . Lowest risk test cases are executed first
- D . Non-functional test cases are executed first
Assume that you are working for a company that has maintained and tested a car parking permit system for many years. The system holds the name and address of permit holders and automatically writes to the permit holder with a form to renew or cancel their permit each year.
The test plan states the following:
"since the system is considered a stable system. Boundary Value Analysis is the only test case design technique that needs to be applied during testing"
Consider the following change that was detailed in the Requirements Specification for a replacement to an existing parameter held within the system;
• The specified renewal date for each permit must be not be after 31 st January 2020.
Which one of the following is a valid test condition that satisfies both the requirement and the test plan? SELECT ONE OPTION
- A . Input the dates either side of and including 31/01/2020, and select tests from the regression pack relating to the renewal date and printing only.
- B . Input the date 31/01 /20 in the wrong field to see what happens, and run the whole of the regression test pack.
- C . Input the date 01/02/2020 and confirm this is not accepted. and select tests from the regression test back relating to the renewal date only
- D . Input a date in an invalid format e.g. 31 FEB 2020, and select tests from the regression pack relating to renewal date, policy holder’s name, address and printing.
- E . Input the date 01/02/2020 and confirm this is not accepted. and select tests from the regression testback relating to the renewal date only
