TM12 sample questions

Question 1

Reviews

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. Atypical 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?

Accepted Answer

III. and IV. are true; I and II are false;

Answer

I. and III. are true; II. and IV. are false;

Answer

||. and III are true; I. and IV. are false;

Answer

Question 2

Test Management

Assume you are currently working on a project developing a system where functional requirements are very well specified. Unfortunately non-functional requirements do almost not exist.

You are the Test Manager. You have to choose a technique for test selection that allows testing of non-functional characteristics, especially reliability.

Which of the following techniques for test selection do you expect being most useful in this scenario?

Accepted Answer

A model-based technique based on the creation of operational profiles

Answer

Ambiguity reviews

Answer

Test condition analysis

Answer

Cause-effect graphing

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

The extent of re-testing and regression testing activities should be based on the risk level

Answer

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

Answer

Risk mitigation of product quality risks can be effective only after starting test execution

Answer

The priority of the development and execution of tests should not be based on the risk level but only on the likelihood

Question 4

Reviews

You are a Test Manager working for a software organization where reviews have never been applied. After a meeting with your managers examining a business case for reviews, (including their costs, benefits, and potential issues), the management finally decides to adopt formal reviews for future projects.

You have been given a budget that you have spent to provide training in the review process and to introduce the review process on a pilot project.

On that pilot project the introduction of reviews has been very positive in terms of positive involvement from all the participants. All the reviews applied to different documents have been very effective for their purposes (especially at revealing defects).

Which of the following answers describes an important success factor for the introduction of formal reviews which is missing in this scenario?

Accepted Answer

Definition and use of metrics to measure the ROI (Return On Investment)

Answer

Management support

Answer

Participant support

Answer

Training in the review process

Question 5

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

Your test team executes exploratory tests following a session-based test management approach throughout the system test phase

Answer

Your test team executes system tests under the guidance of a sample of users throughout the system test phase

Answer

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

Question 6

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-LOGQ-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

What is the MINIMUM number of test conditions that must be added to fulfill both the EXCR1 and EXCR2 exit criteria?
