Test Management
Which of the following statements about management of product quality risks in mature organizations with respect to the lifecycle, is true?

• A.Mature organizations address product quality risks associated to non-functional characteristics only during the system test phase
• B.Mature organizations are aware that the contribution of testing to analysis of product quality risks is very important. The analysis should occur throughout the entire lifecycle
• C.Mature organizations don't waste time identifying the sources of risks. They only focus on identifying product quality risks
• D.Mature organizations are aware that risk management of product quality risks only occurs during testing

A chart showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution during system testing is also available. The chart shows that the daily closure period is consistently and significantly above the rolling closure period for a long period of the system testing phase.
Almost all defects found during system testing have been related to the system as a whole, not related to single units or integrations issues. Almost all quality risks have been addressed during the unit and integration testing phase and no residual quality risks were present in the integrated system. This has been confirmed by exploratory testing sessions performed during system testing, targeted at finding defects in these quality risk areas.
Based on the given information only, which one of the following areas would you expect to be considered more in the retrospective meeting in order to be improved?

Reviews
Consider the following list of statements about audits and management reviews:
I. Audits are usually more effective than management reviews at finding defects II. Audits and management reviews have the same main goals, the only difference is related to the roles and level of formality III. A typical outcome of an audit includes observations and recommendations, corrective actions and a pass/fail assessment IV. An audit is not the appropriate mechanism to use at the code review in order to detect defects prior to dynamic testing Which of the following statements is true?

Assume you have some data related to confirmation testing during system testing of a past project.
In that project 240 bug reports have been opened once, 80 were opened twice, 10 were opened three times and no bug reports have been opened more than three times.
You estimate that a bug report, which has failed its confirmation test, costs, on average, 3 person-hours.
Which of the following statements correctly describe the value of these confirmatory testing activities based on cost of quality?
K3 2 credits

• A.340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of external failure
• B.300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of detection
• C.300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure
• D.340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure
