Club 65 to 90 is a holiday club for retired people run by a small company, the IT department consists of 1 Designer, 3 Developers and 1 System Tester Their booking system has been "live" for a number of years and the company has a loyal client base. A variety of automation tools are used for development and testing to improve effectiveness and efficiency.
A new project will introduce a loyalty scheme and both a Business Requirement Specification and a System Design Specification have been produced A Rapid Application Development (RAD) lifecycle model will be used where time is crucial. In the past there have been problems with updates to the existing system, which has affected existing functionality. Testers have not used representative and realistic operational profiles and data, which has led to significant production problems. The following test policy statements have been proposed for the project:
a. Testing must be risk based;
b. A Master Test Plan, confirming to IEEE829, must be produced for each test project; c. Test procedures must be run by a tester who did not write the procedure; d. Regression testing should be carried out on all releases; e. The testers are accountable for all defects found in production; f. Time must be given to designing test environments so that they are representative of the live environment.
Which of the following options identifies the three policy statements that would be MOST beneficial for this project?

• A.a. b and e.
• B.a. d and f.
• C.a, d and e.
• D.b. c and f.

You have done a comprehensive risk analysis. You have involved the appropriate people in assessing the risks and determining the likelihood and impact of those risks. You have been testing for three months and have been able to mitigate 75% of the high risk items. You have two weeks left in testing and you now do not expect to be able to complete all the items on the high-risk mitigation list, never mind any from the medium or low-risk lists.
What is the most effective action you should take? [3]

• A.Use a random selection algorithm to pick tests from the high, medium, and low risk mitigation lists - thereby ensuring that each risk list has some mitigation.
• B.Present your risk mitigation progress and project status to the project's stakeholders, and request additional time or assistance in re-prioritizing the remaining high-risk items.
• C.Concentrate testing in areas that have already found numerous problems.
• D.Retest the highest risk areas to ensure no regressions have occurred.
