In multi-team environments with hybrid software development approaches, there are various challenges in the context of defect management, such as:
i. Alignment of defect attributes to be used
ii. Prioritisation of defects
iii. Alignment of the approach for defect fixes
Solutions to the above-mentioned challenges include:
A project has been running for a few months and the team does not seem to be making progress in their test approach. The team also lacks drive and enthusiasm and is sometimes seen to be performing their tasks too slowly. You have been asked to recruit an extra person into the team. In addition to introducing the new team member, you have decided to raise motivation.
Which of the actions listed below would most likely result in the opposite, a de-motivation of the team?
You are a test manager in charge of integration, system, and user acceptance testing for a bank. You are working on a project to upgrade an existing ATM to allow customers to obtain cash advances from supported credit cards.
The system should allow cash advances from €20 to €500 (both inclusive) for all supported credit cards. The supported credit cards are American Express, VISA, Eurocard, and Mastercard. The system should be easy to use for all users, including new users. The organisation is currently in a transition to Agile and already well on its way.
In the test plan, the following items are listed under the heading"Items and features to be tested":
All supported credit cards
Language localisation
Valid and invalid advance
Usability
Response time
Which of the following topics would be most important for you to address in detail in the test plan?
Assume you are a test manager of a project that develops software in the medical domain. You are responsible for analysing the organisational test strategy and the project context to choose the appropriate test approach.
You consider the following factors:
Detailed requirements of high quality are available
Parts of the software to be developed are expected to be safety critical
Internal audits and an external audit by a government agency are expected to take place, as such traceability and evidence are important elements for the test approach
A release date has been defined, and a marketing campaign has already been scheduled
The project works according to the sequential V-model lifecycle
The independent test team has a lot of domain knowledge but has also been trained and has experience in using test design techniques
Which of the following test approaches would be most appropriate for this project?
The stakeholders matrix is a strategic tool to be used by test managers and is composed of four quadrants.
Which quadrant is described by the following statements?
Typically do not have a strong interest in day-to-day tasks
Their decisions are critical for resource allocation and high-level project direction
Which of the following is not a key decision when defining a project test strategy?
Which of the following statements about test management activities for an iterative development model is false?
Assume that you have calculated the following costs of quality:
Average cost of detection: €350
Average cost of internal failure: €250
Average cost of external failure: €4,500
The average costs of detection and internal failure are calculated using the number of defects found prior to release, while the average cost of external failure is calculated using the number of defects found after release.
What is the saving in cost of quality for each defect found in testing?
You are the only tester in an Agile team. The test policy states that only defects that need to be solved outside the team are documented. You are receiving complaints from developers from other teams that they do not receive sufficient defect information to be able to efficiently and effectively solve the defects. You have used the ISO 29119 standard to identify which attributes could be added to the current defect report template.
Which two of the following options would be best to add to the current defect report template to solve the current issue?
Assume that you are using traceability to manage test case coverage against test conditions. During test analysis, three test conditions were identified. Test design for system testing has been completed and 10 test cases (TC1 to TC10) have been designed, as described by the following traceability matrix (“C” indicates a critical test case, while “NC” indicates a non-critical test case):
[traceability matrix not visible in the prompt]
The exit criterion for system testing states that each test condition must have all the associated critical test cases successfully executed (passed) AND all associated non-critical test cases at least executed.
The following is the situation after three days of system testing:
TC1, TC2, TC4, TC5, TC7, TC9: passed
TC3, TC10: failed (with an associated open defect report)
TC6, TC8: not run
Management wants to decide whether to release the system. You advise them that the system does not yet meet the defined exit criteria.
Based only on the given information, which test condition does not yet meet the stated exit criterion?
