Question 41

Testing Process
Which of the following is an example of the test closure activity indicated as "lessons learned"?

A.Archive all the test results of the acceptance testing phase
B.Deliver a list of the open defects of a software product released into production to the service desk team
C.Participate in a meeting at the end of a project aimed at better managing the events and problems of future projects
D.Deliver an automated regression test suite, used during the system test phase of a software product released into production, to the team responsible for maintenance testing

Question 42

Your company just won a contract to create a new sales application and has committed to a very aggressive delivery timeline. Due to the quick turnaround your primary stakeholder wants to be heavily involved in the design and is very anxious to see the outcome. Because of this, your company has decided to use a spiral development approach. You have a defined test policy and typically use an analytical approach to testing, however, this approach will not work with the development approach.
What test strategy should be utilized? [3]

A.Model-based
B.Methodical
C.Standard-compliant
D.Reactive

Correct Answer: D

A reactive test strategy is a test strategy that uses the actual behavior and results of the software under test to design and execute tests, without prior knowledge or documentation of the software1. A reactive test strategy should be utilized for a project that uses a spiral development approach, which is a type of iterative/incremental approach that adds risk analysis and prototyping activities to each iteration2. A reactive test strategy is suitable for a spiral development approach because it allows for flexibility, adaptability, and creativity in the testing process, as well as for early feedback, risk reduction, and continuous improvement in the software development process3. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because a model-based test strategy is a test strategy that uses models to represent the desired behavior and structure of the software under test, and to derive test cases, test data, test procedures, and test oracles. A model-based test strategy may not work well with a spiral development approach, as it requires the availability and stability of the models, which may not be the case in a spiral development approach that involves frequent changes and refinements of the software under test. Option B is incorrect because a methodical test strategy is a test strategy that uses predefined test methods, techniques, and procedures to design and execute tests, such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, or decision table testing. A methodical test strategy may not work well with a spiral development approach, as it requires the availability and stability of the test basis, such as the requirements, specifications, or design documents, which may not be the case in a spiral development approach that involves frequent changes and refinements of the software under test. Option C is incorrect because a standard-compliant test strategy is a test strategy that follows a predefined set of standards, guidelines, or regulations to design and execute tests, such as ISO, IEEE, or CMMI. A standard-compliant test strategy may not work well with a spiral development approach, as it requires the compliance and consistency of the testing process, which may not be the case in a spiral development approach that involves frequent changes and refinements of the software under test.

Question 43

During the follow-up phase the following conditions are checked:
X1. The code has been completely reviewed
X2. All the identified defects have been correctly fixed and the modified code has been compiled successfully and run through all the static analyzers used by the project without warnings and errors
X3. The modified code is available under the configuration management system with a new version number for the specified CI
If these conditions are fulfilled then the review process terminates.
Which of the following characteristics of a formal review is missing in this description?
K2 1 credit

A.Defined entry and exit criteria
B.Checklists to be used by the reviewers
C.Deliverables such as reports, evaluation sheets or other review summary sheets
D.Metrics for reporting on the review effectiveness, efficiency, and progress

Question 44

Test Management
Which of the following statements describing how identified product quality risks should be mitigated and managed, is true?

A.The extent of re-testing and regression testing activities should be based on the risk level
B.The identification of new risks, the re-assessment of the level of existing risks and the evaluation of the effectiveness of risk mitigation activities should only occur at the very beginning of a project
C.Risk mitigation of product quality risks can be effective only after starting test execution
D.The priority of the development and execution of tests should not be based on the risk level but only on the likelihood

Question 45

In the test strategy document your organization declares:
-
To adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testinG. unit, integration and system testing
-
To use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of testing
The following is an excerpt of the "approach" section for the system test plan document of a new project:
"Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test analysis and test design.
Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed (passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected)."
In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.
Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?
K4 3 credits

A.The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the regression testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the risk-based testing strategy
B.The approach described the system test plan document is inconsistent with both the risk-based and regression testing strategies
C.The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the risk-based testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the regression testing strategy
D.The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the test strategy
