Topic 4, Scenario 4, V2 “Test Management Tool”
The project situation after 11 months is:
– The first increment was released one week late but contained sufficient functionality to be
declared fit for purpose’. However, there were 20 outstanding incidents deferred to increment two.
– The amount of voluntary overtime worked PV the test team has reduced the second Increment
slippage to just 3 weeks.
– There is talk of reducing the scope of requirements. The purpose of this is to first deliver the
application with support for manual testing and then to provide a delivery * weeks later to resolve
any remaining points and provide support for automated testing (i.e. the link to the capture-replay
tool).
– Concerns have been expressed by a section of the user community, that in some places the
usability is very poor.

Which of the following is a project risk mitigation step you might take as test manager?

Topic 5, Scenario 5, V2 “Human Resource System”
For the first increment of the new enterprise HR product you have performed a product risk
analysis using the FMEA method. Five risk items have been identified and the likelihood and
impact have been scored using scoring tables. This has resulted in the following scores:

However, you did not have any luck in finding a suitable candidate. So now, you have been asked
by IT management of XYZ to forward a proposal with alternative solutions for building an
automated regression test suite at system test level over a period of 2 years including needed
training and eventual handover to the test team.
