You can count on well-written requirements, but you can't count on an adequate contribution of the stakeholders to the quality risk analysis. You have to mitigate the insufficient contribution of the stakeholders because the risk-based testing approach shall minimize the product risks. Your test team has one expert tester in security testing.
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important in this context?

• A.Extract from the defect tracking system of the previous project all the security defects and failures, and classify them to support design and execution of specific tests
• B.Perform exploratory testing sessions with adequate charters covering security aspects
• C.Automate all functional and non-functional system tests
• D.Apply systematic and exploratory testing for integration and system test

Test Management
Assume you are managing the system testing phase of a project.
The system test execution period is scheduled to twenty weeks.
All tests are manual tests. You are following a risk-driven test approach.
During the last staff meeting the project manager tells you new deadlines that will not allow completion of all the system tests.
Which of the following would you expect to be the best way to respond to this situation?

• C.Remove testers from your test team, so that they can be assigned to other projects
• D.No action is needed, test as much as possible in the remaining time period

You are the Test Manager on a new project. The schedule is aggressive and will require the team to work at peak efficiency. The requirements are not well defined yet, but it is clear that the project will be using new technologies. To help the developers meet the development schedule, an offshore group will be added to the development team.
At this time there is not enough budget to add more testing resources. The project stakeholders are very concerned about the quality of the delivered product and will be watching the project closely, particularly during the testing cycles. The exit criteria from the system test level require no open high priority/severity defects, 100% pass rate for all test cases covering risks that are classified as "high" or "very high", 95% pass rate for all "medium" risks and 75% pass rate for all "low" and "very low" risks.
Given this information, which of the activities of the standard test process are the most critical for the Test Manager to perform? [3]

• A.Requirements reviews
• B.Test execution
• C.Test monitoring and control
• D.Project management, particularly regarding scheduling and budgeting
