Which one of the following is a valid test condition that is missing from the table of test conditions and has clear traceability back to the test strategy and requirements? SELECT ONE OPTION

You are a new Test Manager on a maintenance release for an existing mature product that is expected to be retired in the not too distant future. The previous release had utilized a performance regression test suite written in an in-house custom tool using the same programming language as the product itself. This suite will most likely require tweaking to ensure it works with the new version of the product. While there are several members in the performance testing team, the original author of the performance testing tool has moved on to another company, and none of the remaining staff have a great deal of familiarity with the performance test scripts used to test this product.
How would you recommend this scenario be addressed? [3]
- A . Retire the in-house tool and switch to a vendor supported tool for performance testing.
- B . Reduce the scope of the product testing to exclude performance testing.
- C . Make the in-house tool available to the open source community.
- D . Leverage the development team to fill any knowledge gaps in the in-house tool.
You are the Test Manager for a new product that is being developed according to an iterative lifecycle. At this point, you have 100% of your smoke tests automated, 20% of your functional tests and 50% of your regression tests. Your iterations are four weeks long. You are finding that with each iteration significant maintenance is required for your automated tests and you are not able to complete the testing within the planned timeframe. The test plan you created at the beginning of the project indicates that all automated tests should be run before any manual tests.
Which of the following is a reasonable change to this plan based on how the project is going? [2]
- A . Continue to run all the automation first, performing whatever maintenance is needed and then transfer testing resources from manual testing to increase the automation coverage.
- B . Run the manual tests first and maintain the automation as time allows.
- C . Continue to run the automated smoke tests first, execute the automated regression test and new manual functional tests in parallel, and discontinue automating any new functional test cases.
- D . Run the automated regression tests first then proceed with the manual and automated functional
tests, discontinuing the automated smoke.

Which work experience is likely to develop the necessary skills to effectively test a software system? [3]
- A . Being a member of the production group that supported the previous release of the system
- B . Being the developer of testing tools used for automation
- C . Being the current Project Manager for the system
- D . Being a former Test Manager
Which one of the following standards would a Test Manager be expected to understand when planning and organising activities with a Project Manager? SELECT ONE OPTION
- A . PRINCE2®
- B . CMMI®
- C . TMMI®
- D . ITIL®
Your test team is in the process of completing final regression testing one week before the release date. One of your staff has just uncovered a critical defect that causes data corruption.
What should you do? [2]
- A . Update the risks in your test plan to cover data corruption issues and update your test cases to be sure you test for this in the future
- B . Write a high priority defect and follow the escalation communication plan as defined in your test plan
- C . Write a high priority defect and call the business stakeholders to warn them about it
- D . Update the weekly status charts and change the project status to red
What test process is included as part of TPI Next? [1]
- A . Identify test specification
- B . Identify test environment
- C . Identify test execution
- D . Identify test conditions
Most managers in your company consider the efforts of your test team valuable, while others see comprehensive testing as an unnecessary cost overhead to the SDLC.
What action could the Test Manager take to quantify the value of testing to the organization? [3]
- A . Develop metrics that illustrate planned and actual testing hours.
- B . Review the Test Plan with the management team.
- C . Determine the cost of external failures.
- D . Demonstrate the role QA has in similar size organizations.
Refer lo SCENARIO 2 – You are writing the Master Test Plan for Project 2 and must include a section documenting project risks that you believe could impact testing along with how, as Test Manager, you propose to manage each risk.
Which one of the following is the MOST appropriate entry for the Master Test Plan for RISK 4 "The user interface software for the sound systems will be delivered late into testing-? SELECT ONE OPTION
- A . Ask the stakeholders to accept the risk without mitigation, as code is often late
- B . Prepare the testers to work longer hours
- C . Accept the risk and develop a contingency plan
- D . Transfer the risk to Smart Alarms for them to propose mitigation
