Testing Process
The following are the exit criteria described in the test plan of a software product:
EX1. The test suite for the product must ensure that at least each quality risk item is covered by at least one test case (a quality risk item can be covered by more test cases).
EX2. All test cases in the test suite must be run during the execution phase.
EX3. Defects are classified into two categories: "C" (critical defect) and "NC" (non-critical defect). No known C defects shall exist in the product at the end of the test execution phase.
Which of the following information is useless when the specified exit criteria is evaluated?
Number of correct responses: 1
K2 1 credit

• A.A chart, showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution, extracted from the defect tracking system
• B.The execution status of all the test cases extracted from the test management tool
• C.A traceability matrix showing the relationships between the product risk items and the test cases
• D.A list of all the open defects with the associated classification information extracted from the defect tracking system

Consider the following statements describing the importance of improving the test process:
I. Test process improvement is important because being focused only on the test process it can provide recommendations to improve the test process itself, but it can't indicate or suggest improvement to areas of the development process
II. Test process improvement is important because it is much more effective than software process improvement to improve the quality of a software system
III. Test process improvement is important because several process improvement models (STEP, TPI Next, TMMi) have been developed over the years
IV. Test process improvement is important because every organization, regardless of the context, should always achieve the maximum level of maturity of testing described in the test improvement models such as TMMi
Which of the following answers is correct?
K2 1 credit

• A.I., II. and III. are false; IV. is true
• B.I. and IV. are true; II. and III. are false
• C.I., II. and III are true; IV. is false
• D.I., II., III. and IV are false

Test Management
Which of the following statements describing how identified product quality risks should be mitigated and managed, is true?

• A.The priority of the development and execution of tests should not be based on the risk level but only on the likelihood
• B.The extent of re-testing and regression testing activities should be based on the risk level
• C.The identification of new risks, the re-assessment of the level of existing risks and the evaluation of the effectiveness of risk mitigation activities should only occur at the very beginning of a project
• D.Risk mitigation of product quality risks can be effective only after starting test execution

The following is the unique "critical" quality risk item that has been identified:
CR-RSK-1. The GUI of the application might accept non-integer values for the input field designed to get the number of bottles from the user Test analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have been identified:
TC-SEL-2. Test the selection of the package sizes
TC-SEL-4. Test wrong numbers of bottles for an order
TC-CR-RSK-1. Test the accepted values from the input field designed to get the number of bottles from the user What is the MINIMUM number of test conditions that must be added to fulfill both the EXCR1 and EXCR2 exit criteria?

• A.4
• B.3
• C.2
• D.1

Test Management
You are the Test Manager of a new project that will have three formal levels of testing: unit, integration and system testing. The testing strategy you decide to adopt a blend of risk-based testing and reactive testing strategies.
Which of the following answers describes the most consistent example of implementation of this test strategy during the execution of the system tests?

• A.Your test team executes exploratory tests following a session-based test management approach throughout the system test phase
• B.Your test team executes system tests under the guidance of a sample of users throughout the system test phase
• C.Your test team executes scripted tests designed and implemented before the execution of the system test phase, to cover the identified product risks. It also performs exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phase
• D.Your test team autonomously performs some exploratory testing sessions and, at the very end of the system testing phase, it also executes more system tests under the guidance of a sample of users
