Scenario: 7
Test Estimation
You have been contracted to manage the acceptance testing of a new computer-based
reservation system for a travel agency. You have provided an approximate budget estimate
for the testing project based on previous experience with similar sized projects. However, the
management of the parent company of the travel agency will not commit to the budget until
detailed cost estimates are provided. The reservation system is being developed by a third
party However, detailed specifications of the software are available, as well as an estimate
of the total effort that will be spent in developing the software. The software is to be delivered
in four increments, and the functionality to be delivered in each increment has already been
agreed on.

Scenario: 9
Test Management Documentation
A software house is concerned about the number of defects found in software released to its
customers. They are starting to plan a new software product. In the past, releases have
often been stopped due to poor planning and too many defects found during high level
testing. You have been recruited to the newly created position of test manager and asked to
develop a test strategy, manage the testing of the project and organize the resources
needed to carry out the testing.
###EndCaseStudy###

Which THREE activities would be valid steps during the development of the test strategy?
