You are managing the system testing for a SOA based system. The integrated system consists of
several subsystems:
– A SOA middleware
– A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system
– A BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system
– A SMS (Subscriber Management System) system and you performed a risk analysis based on
these subsystems.

At the end of the scheduled period for test execution you produce a first classical report based on
the traditional metrics of testing. Test pass/fail status and bug status (open/resolved) That table
provides you a distorted picture of the quality risk, because there is no indication of the risk level of
the failed tests, the tests not run, or the open bugs. Thus, you produce the following table to solve
this distortion issue:
In the table above, where you have introduced the concept of risk weighting, the highest risk test
or bug report has a score of 1, while the lowest risk test or bug report has a score of 0.04.
Which of the following subsystems, based on the risk scores of the table, is most risky?

For which of the following activities would the costs be classified as a cost of detection?

Assume you have some data related to confirmation testing during system testing of a past
project.
In that project 240 bug reports have been opened once, 80 were opened twice, 10 were opened
three times and no bug reports have been opened more than three times.
You estimate that a bug report, which has failed its confirmation test, costs, on average, 3 personhours.
Which of the following statements correctly describe the value of these confirmatory testing
activities based on cost of quality?

Which of the following answers describes a factor that may reduce the effort spent when using
distributed test teams without negatively affecting system quality?

You are the Test Manager on a project following an iterative life-cycle model. The project should
consist of nine iterations of one month duration each. It is planned to develop the most important
features to have a stable core of the application in the first three iterations and to add the
additional features in the last six iterations.
At the beginning of the first iteration, only a draft version of the requirements specification
document for the core features is available. Assume that during each of the first three iterations,
the chosen features are fully completed and unit tested.
Which of the following statements is true in this context?

Which of the following statements, about the test reporting activities for a project adopting an
iterative lifecycle model with very short iterations (e.g. two weeks iterations), is correct?

Consider an agile team adopting Extreme Programming (XP) with five developers and one tester
without any coding experience.
To which of the following activities would you expect the tester will contribute most?

Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing
exploratory testing?
Number of correct responses: 1

The main objectives the senior management team wants to achieve are:
– to reduce the costs associated with dynamic testing
– to use reviews to ensure that the project is on course for success and following the plan
– to use reviews as a well-documented and effective bug-removal activity following a formal
process with well-defined roles
– to determine the effectiveness of reviews in terms of phase containment
– to improve phase containment effectiveness
Which of the following answers would you expect to describe the best way to achieve these
objectives?

Consider the following list of statements about audits and management reviews:
I. Audits are usually more effective than management reviews at finding defects
II. Audits and management reviews have the same main goals, the only difference is related to the
roles and level of formality
III. A typical outcome of an audit includes observations and recommendations, corrective actions
and a pass/fail assessment
IV. An audit is not the appropriate mechanism to use at the code review in order to detect defects
prior to dynamic testing
Which of the following statements is true?
