Question 106

'Safe as Houses' is a company that specialises in home security software, including alarm systems, surveillance cameras and other forms of deterrence.
It is currently developing the software for a device which simulates an active television, producing sound and light images that suggest someone is home watching the television. 'Safe as Houses' recently won a lucrative contract to supply the software to Smart Alarms', who will be manufacturing the hardware devices Sound will be created using actual television and film archives, licensed through a third-party supplier, 'Silver Sound Ltd'. A user interface will be developed in house to allow the customer to choose sound tracks.
The software will be delivered as a programme of work, consisting of three projects. Project 1 will develop the software for the light images. Project 2 will develop the sound system and Project 3 will integrate the two using hardware prototypes supplied from 'Smart Alarms'. The programme will conclude with 'Smart Alarms' performing User Acceptance testing in usability labs.
The 'Safe as Houses' test team has experience in testing alarm and surveillance systems but lacks experience in testing light imagery software. The organisational test policy includes the following objectives:
1 Exploratory testing should be used to augment more formal, structured testing within constraints of time and budget
2. Test automation tools should be purchased and employed to maximise the breadth and efficiency of regression testing The Programme risk register currently includes the following risks:
RISK1 Working prototypes will be delivered late to the integration test environments RISK 2 A delay in signing the contract with 'Silver Sound Ltd' will impact the programme schedule RISK 3 Inexperience in testing light imagery software will cause major defects to be missed RISK 4 The user interface software for the sound systems will be delivered late into testing Refer to SCENARIO 2 - The IT Director for 'Safe as Houses' is recruiting a Programme Test Manager and has been provided with a skills matrix for four prospective candidates. The matrix shows the skill level (5 being highest. 1 lowest) for each candidate:

Consider which of these skills are key for a Programme Test manager in this scenario. Based on these, which candidate would be the most suitable?
SELECT ONE OPTION

A.John
B.Bill
C.Sarah.

B.Introduce entry criteria to the testing phase
C.Provide more time for testing in the schedule
D.Allow people to take some time off

Question 108

Which of the following defect statistics will provide input to be used for improvement in the defect reporting process?

A.Number of defect reports re-opened
B.Number of defects in a particular area of the code
C.Number of defect reports rejected by the developers
D.Number of defects found in a phase later than they were introduced

Question 109

Model characteristics:
Which THREE of the below mentioned characteristics relate to TMMi? 1 credit

A.5 maturity levels
B.Focussed on higher level testing
C.20 key areas
D.Highly related to CMMI
E.Continuous model
F.Staged model
G.Focussed on component and integration testing
H.Is build around 12 critical testing processes

Question 110

The test team is using a distributed model for testing.
What is the primary factor you should consider with this model? [1]

A.Alignment of methodologies
B.Co-location of test team
C.Provision of growth opportunities for the individual testers
D.Planned vs. actual hours

Correct Answer: A

A distributed model for testing is a testing model that involves testers working in different locations, time zones, or organizations, such as onshore, offshore, or nearshore1. The primary factor that you should consider with this model is the alignment of methodologies, which means that the testers follow the same or compatible testing processes, standards, tools, and techniques, regardless of their location, time zone, or organization2. The alignment of methodologies can help to ensure the consistency, quality, and efficiency of the testing activities, as well as to facilitate the communication, coordination, and collaboration among the testers3. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because co-location of test team is not a factor that you should consider with a distributed model for testing, but rather a factor that is contrary to a distributed model for testing. Co-location of test team means that the testers work in the same physical location, which can have some advantages, such as easier communication, faster feedback, and stronger team spirit, but also some disadvantages, such as higher costs, limited resources, and less diversity4. Option C is incorrect because provision of growth opportunities for the individual testers is not a factor that you should consider with a distributed model for testing, but rather a factor that is relevant to any testing model. Provision of growth opportunities for the individual testers means that the testers are given the chance to learn new skills, gain new experiences, and advance their careers, which can have some benefits, such as increased motivation, productivity, and retention of the testers. Option D is incorrect because planned vs. actual hours is not a factor that you should consider with a distributed model for testing, but rather a factor that is relevant to any testing model. Planned vs. actual hours is a testing metric that compares the estimated and the actual effort spent on the testing activities, which can help to measure the accuracy of the test estimation, the efficiency of the test execution, and the variance of the test schedule.
