According to the ISTQB Advanced syllabus, which of the following would be the MOST effective method of communication between test team members who are distributed across several time zones?
[K2] 1 credit

• A.Accurate recording of defect information in the defect tracking system
• B.Weekly, mandatory meeting with all personnel present
• C.Skype meetings for personal interaction
• D.Accepting frequent builds from the developers to keep all testers working on the same version at the same time

You are applying pairwise testing and using orthogonal arrays. The following steps are all part of the process to be followed.
i) Determine the number of choices for each variable
ii) Map the test problem onto the orthogonal array
iii) Construct the test cases
iv) Identify the variables
v) Locate an appropriate orthogonal array
What is the correct order of the above mentioned process steps?
[K3] 2 credits

• A.i, ii, iv, v, iii
• B.iv, i, iii, v, ii
• C.iv, ii, v, iii, i
• D.iv, i, v, ii, iii

Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds the quality of the tea locally available so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His market strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response times.
The website will offer the following:
- An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels)
- Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions
- Provide the customer to give general feedback
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly.
The test basis contains the following:
- Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site
- HTML pages developed to date.
- A statement of non-functional requirements.
With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specific testing techniques that should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives.
How does phase containment contribute to reducing the cost of development?
[K2] 1 credit

• A.By using specific test techniques at each level and only at that level
• B.By eliminating defects as early as possible to minimize defect propagation
• C.By ensuring that the deliverables from any life cycle phase are tested only in that phase
• D.By concentrating the testing effort on the phases where failures occur

We now make the assumption that in the scenario described as above, exploratory testing was selected as being the main test technique. You have now been given the task of specifying, executing and recording the exploratory test sessions.
Select TWO of the options below to define what you will typically use for specifying, executing and recording the sessions?
[K3] 2 credits

• A.Record the results in email and send the email to the test manager.
• B.Create test charters for planned test session.
• C.Use debriefing sessions with stakeholders and other testers to discuss the findings and new risks identified.
• D.Use external testers on the team to provide a new approach and fresh view to the testing effort.
• E.Define concrete test cases to be executed by the developers.

A company wants to develop a web site to implement an on-line sales channel. The company has decided to do some usability testing, but resources are limited.
