Testing Process
Consider an information system of a Pay-Tv company based on a SOA architecture.
The integrated system currently consists of three core systems:
- a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system
- a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system
- a CAS (Conditional Access System) system
all of them communicating with SOA Middleware.
You have been asked to manage the testing activities for the integration of two additional off-the-shelf systems from two different vendors: a SMS (Short Message Service) server and an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system.
Assume that there is a high likelihood that the two off-the-shelf systems will be low-quality and that you have a clear proof that the testing performed by the two vendors on their systems has been unsystematic and unprofessional. This obviously leads to higher quality risk for the overall integrated system.
You are the Test Manager of this project. Your main goal is to plan for testing activities to mitigate this risk.
Which of the following answers best describes the test activities (assuming it is possible to perform all of them) you should plan for?

• A.You should plan for an informal and minimal acceptance test of the two off-the-shelf systems and then a single end-to-end test of the overall integrated system
• B.You should directly plan for a single end-to-end test focused on end-to-end tests of the overall integrated system without an acceptance test of the two off-the-shelf systems
• C.You should plan for two levels: a system integration test and an end-to-end test of the overall integrated system
• D.You should plan for adequate re-testing of both the systems followed by a system integration test and an end-to-end test of the overall integrated system

Test Management
You are estimating the effort for the integration testing activities of a new project. Consider the following factors, which can affect that estimation:
I. Availability of re-usable test systems and documentation from previous, similar projects II. Unexpected timing of components arrival III. Stability of the integration test team (no turnover) IV. Many and geographically distributed sub-teams Which of the following statements is true?
Number of correct responses: 1
K2 1 credit

• A.I. and II. can negatively affect the estimation
  III. and IV. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort
• B.and III. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort
• C.II. and III. can negatively affect the estimation
• D.and II. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort
• E.III. and IV. can negatively affect the estimation
• F.II. and IV. can negatively affect the estimation
• G.and IV. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort

Defect Management
Consider a defect report and assume that a part of its lifecycle includes the following states:
New: Is the initial state
Working: Means that the developers are addressing the defect in order to produce a fix for the defect Clarification: Means that the developers need more information from the tester to address the defect and produce a fix for the defect and the tester is working to provide this information to the developers Verification: Means that a fix for the defect has been produced and the tester is running the adequate tests to verify whether the fix solves the defect Closed: is the final state Which of the following answers represents an invalid sequence of states that can't lead the bug report to the
"Closed" state?

The following are the requirements identified as "critical":
REQ-SEL-001. The user shall be able to combine all the three products with all the four durations to define an item to purchase REQ-SEL-002. The user shall be able to add a maximum of six different items to the shopping cart REQ-PUR-001. The user shall be able to purchase all the items in the shopping cart using a credit voucher REQ-PUR-002. The user shall be able to purchase all the items in the shopping cart using the available credit already charged on the smartcard REQ-PUR-003. The user shall be able to purchase all the items in the shopping cart using all the accepted credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and Great Wall Card) REG-LOGO-001. The user shall be able to logout (by clicking the logout button) from both the "select" and
"purchase" pages going back to the "browse" page (anonymous navigation) Moreover the following quality risk item has been identified as "critical":
QR-P1. The web customer portal might not be able to provide the expected response time (less than 10 sec) for the purchase transactions under a load of up-to 1000 concurrent users Test analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have been identified:
TC-SEL-01. Test the combinations of products and durations to define an item to purchase TC-SEL-02. Test the maximum number of items, which can be added to the shopping cart TC-PUR-01. Test the purchase of an item TC-PUR-02. Test the purchase of an item with the credit charged on the smartcard Assume that you have used traceability to determine the logical test cases that cover all the requirements and the single risk item identified in that scenario.
Which of the following is a positive logical test that is complete, is correct, and covers the REG-LOGO-001 requirement?
Number of correct responses: 1

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 Assume that you have used traceability to determine the logical test cases that cover all the requirements and the single risk item identified in that scenario.
Which of the following is a positive logical test that is complete and correct, and covers the REQ-SEL-4 requirement?
