Test Management
Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing?
Number of correct responses: 1
K2 1 credit

• A.Define very detailed mission statements, which allow testing work to be broken into sessions of up to 10 minutes duration in which testing is guided by these mission statements
• B.Exploratory testing should not be managed because such testing is inherently unmanageable and not measurable
• C.Break the testing work in 30 to 120 minutes sessions and use properly defined mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing during these sessions
• D.Define very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test

Based on the historical data of 5 past and similar projects, you have calculated these average numbers of defects detected in system testinG.
-
For each 10000 LOC (lines of code), 200 defects
-
For each person-month of development team effort, 49 defects
You want to use this information to perform estimation for a new project.
The project manager tells you that he/she has estimated 20000 new LOC for this new project.
Four developers work for four months on this project before system testing.
During system testing, 797 defects are discovered.
Assume that the system test of this new project is using the same amount of work as spent in the past projects.
Based on this information only, which of the following statement is certainly true about this project?
K3 3 credits

• A.The code for the new project contains a higher defect density than the code of the past projects
• B.40000 LOC have been delivered to system testing (against the 20000 LOC planned by the project manager)
• C.More LOC than planned have been delivered to system testing with a higher defect density than the past projects
• D.The number of defects found during the system test phase on the new project is approximately proportional to the development team effort

Test Management
You are performing a quality risk analysis for a CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item) used to implement a CBIT (Continuous Built-In Test) module of a safety-critical system.
During the quality risk analysis you are trying to identify the ways in which failures of the CBIT module can occur, for each of them trying to determine the potential causes and likely effects, and the risk level (calculated as the product of three factors: severity, occurrence and detection).
Which of the following risk analysis techniques are you working with?

• A.A lightweight product risk analysis technique
• B.Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
• C.Wide Band Delphi
• D.Cost of Exposure
