You are not confident with the assessment of the risk level and you suspect that it will be possible to find high- priority bugs in low-risk areas.
Furthermore the period for test execution is very short. Your goal is to test all the product risks in a risk-based way, while assuring that each product risk gets at least some amount of testing.

Which of the following answers describes the best test execution schedule in this scenario?

• A.T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10
• B.T1, T3, T5, T7, T9, T2, T4, T6, T8, T10
• C.T10, T9, T8, T7, T6, T5, T4, T3, T2, T1
• D.T10, T8, T6, T4, T2, T9, T7, T5, T3, T1

Test Management
Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing?

• A.Define very detailed mission statements, which allow testing work to be broken into sessions of up to
  10 minutes duration in which testing is guided by these mission statements
• B.Exploratory testing should not be managed because such testing is inherently unmanageable and not measurable
• C.Break the testing work in 30 to 120 minutes sessions and use properly defined mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing during these sessions
• D.Define very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test

After the presentation, you are asked to explain the chart.
Assume you have applied a full risk-based testing strategy.

Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the pie chart?

• A.All the risk items have been covered with tests. No more risk items remain to test
• B.According to the full risk-based testing strategy applied, it is very likely that the highest-risk items, tests and bugs remain in the blue and red areas. Therefore, it is very risky to release the application
• C.Only the lowest-risk items, tests and bugs should remain in the blue and red areas. Therefore the application can be released at any time subject to management of the items identified in those areas
• D.97 percent of the risk items has been tested. No open bugs or test failures remain. Only 3 percent of risk items remains to be covered by the remaining test

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.
