Number of correct responses: 1
K2 1 credit

• 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.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
• C.Exploratory testing should not be managed because such testing is inherently unmanageable and not measurable
• D.Define very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test

Test Management
You are managing the system testing for a SOA based system. The integrated system consists of several subsystems:
- a SOA middleware
- a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system
- a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system
- a SMS (Subscriber Management System) system
and you performed a risk analysis based on these subsystems.
At the end of the scheduled period for test execution you produce a first classical report based on the traditional metrics of testing. Test pass/fail status and bug status (open/resolved) That table provides you a distorted picture of the quality risk, because there is no indication of the risk level of the failed tests, the tests not run, or the open bugs. Thus, you produce the following table to solve this distortion issue:

In the table above, where you have introduced the concept of risk weighting, the highest risk test or bug report has a score of 1, while the lowest risk test or bug report has a score of 0.04.
Which of the following subsystems, based on the risk scores of the table, is most risky?

• A.SOA
• B.CRM
• C.BRM
• D.SMS

• B.The system build that the defect was found in
• C.The name of the configuration manager who built the system
• D.The number of test steps in the test script that found the defect

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?

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

• A.The priority of the development and execution of tests should not be based on the risk level but only on the likelihood
• 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.The extent of re-testing and regression testing activities should be based on the risk level
• D.Risk mitigation of product quality risks can be effective only after starting test execution
