what is the most appropriate next test phase?
Topic 12, Scenario 12 “Automatic Teller Machine (ATM)”
You are a test manager in charge of integration, system and acceptance testing for a bank. You
are working on a project to upgrade an existing ATM to allow customers to obtain cash advances
from supported credit cards. The system should allow cash advances from €20 to €500,
inclusively, for all supported credit cards. The supported credit cards are American Express, VISA,
Eurocard and Mastercard.
In the master test plan the following items are listed in the section named “items and/or features to
be tested”:
I All supported credit cards
II Language localization
II Valid and invalid advances
IV Usability
V Response time
*****************************
Given is the following defect removal chart reported at the end of system testing – showing total
defects detected and closed defects (fixed and successfully retested). A number of open defects
are classified as critical. All tests have been executed.
Based on the chart above, what is the most appropriate next test phase?
Which of the following topics should NOT be included in the test progress report?
Topic 1, Scenario 1 “Medical Domain”
You are working as a test manager in the medical domain leading a team of system testers. You
are currently working on a major release of the product which gives customers many new features
and resolves a number of problem reports from previous releases.
****************************
You are about to release a test progress report to a senior manager, who is not a test specialist.
Which of the following topics should NOT be included in the test progress report?

Topic 1, Scenario 1 “Medical Domain”
You are working as a test manager in the medical domain leading a team of system testers. You
are currently working on a major release of the product which gives customers many new features
and resolves a number of problem reports from previous releases.
****************************
Since the system is in the medical domain and therefore in the safety critical area, testing needs to
be rigorous and evidence is required that the system has been adequately tested. Identify THREE
measures that would typically be part of the test approach in this domain and which are not always
applicable in other domains!
Which of the following is NOT an influencing factor for the level of detail of the test logs being produced?

****************************
A test log is one of the documents that need to be produced in this domain in order to provide
evidence of testing. However, the level of detail of test logs can vary. Which of the following is
NOT an influencing factor for the level of detail of the test logs being produced?
Which combination of TWO exit criteria from the list would be best to use?

****************************
Considerable attention will be given in this project to defining exit criteria and on reporting back on
their status. Which combination of TWO exit criteria from the list would be best to use?
I. Total number of defects found
II. Percentage of test cases executed
III. Total test effort planned versus total actual test effort spent
IV. Defect trend (number of defects found per test run over time
Which type of tool could be used to ensure higher quality of the code to be reviewed?
Topic 2, Scenario 2 “Reviews”
A software development organization wants to introduce some specific improvements to its test
process. Currently, most of their testing resources are focussedon system testing. They are
developing embedded software, and do not have a simulation environment to enable them to
execute software modules on the development host. They have been advised that introducing
inspections and reviews could be the most appropriate step forward.
*******************************
As part of the improvement program, the organization is also looking at tool support. Which type of
tool could be used to ensure higher quality of the code to be reviewed?
What is the main reason why reviews are especially beneficial in the above-mentioned scenario?
