Question # 5

Testing Process

Which of the following statements describing the consequences of specifying test conditions at a detailed levelis NOT true?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

A.

In an environment where the test basis is continuously changing, it is recommended to specify test conditions at a detailed level in order to achieve a better maintainability

B.

The specification of test conditions at a detailed level can be effective when no formal requirements or other development work products are available

C.

The specification of test conditions at a detailed level can require the implementation of an adequate level of formality across the team

D.

For system testing, the specification of test conditions at a detailed level, carried out early in the project as soon as the test basis is established, can contribute to defect prevention

Question # 6

Achart showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution during system testing is also available. The chart shows that the daily closure period is consistently and significantly above the rolling closure period for a long period of the system testing phase.

Almost all defects found during system testing have been related to the system as a whole, not related to single units or integrations issues. Almost all quality risks have been addressed during the unit and integration testing phaseand no residual quality risks were present in the integrated system. This has been confirmed by exploratory testing sessions performed during system testing, targeted at finding defects in these quality risk areas.

Based on the given information only, which one of the following areas would you expect to be considered more in the retrospective meeting in order to be improved?

Number of correct responses: 1

K33 credits

A.

The requirements review

B.

The defect management process

C.

The quality risk analysis process

D.

The system design and architecture design reviews

Question # 7

Improving the Testing Process

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 severalprocess 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?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

A.

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

B.

I., II., III. and IV are false

C.

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

D.

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

Question # 8

Improving the Testing Process

Which of the following statements about the TMMi test process improvement model is true?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

A.

In TMMi all the process areas at lower levels must be 75% complete by achieving specific and generic goals in order to claim the higher level

B.

TMMi provides an approach for test process improvement such as the IDEAL (Initiating, Diagnosing, Establishing, Acting and Learning) model

C.

TMMi has a staged architecture for process improvement with seven maturity levels

D.

At TMMi level 1 testing is chaotic without a defined process, and it is often seen as the same as debugging

Question # 9

Test Management

You are the Test Manager of a new project aimed at developing a software system that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard. The project will follow a V-Model software development life cycle and it will have four formal levels of testing: component, integration, system and acceptance testing.

You must produce the test plan documentation for this project by providing an adequate coordination across the four levels of testing in order to assure auditability.

Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe how to organize the test plan?

Number of correct responses: 1

K32 credits

A.

Produce a single master test plan that covers in detail all four levels, describing the particular activities for all test levels

B.

Produce a master test plan that covers three levels (component, integration, system test) and a separate acceptance test plan

C.

Produce a master test plan describing the relationship between the four levels, andfour separate detailed level test plans, one for each level

D.

Produce four separate detailed level test plans, one for each level, without a master test plan
