Topic 4, Scenario 4, V1 "Test Management Tool"

A software development company that sells an established capture-replay tool has decided to complement it with a test management tool. The capture-replay tool was developed over a number of years and is used by a large number of clients.

The test management tool will be developed by the same team that developed the capture-replay tool, using the same technology. The company test strategy mandates that structural testing is focussed at the component test level and dynamic non-functional testing is focussed at the acceptance test level.

In response to growing customer demand, it is proposed to develop the test management tool in an incremental manner. Each increment will be developed using the V life cycle model. The target platform is a PC in a local area network. The PC uses a proprietary relational database and communicates with a single PC which acts as a server.

The test management tool must interface with the company s capture replay tool. Over the first 12 months of the development period the following functionality will be developed for the tool (in two increments): basic requirements management, support for test case creation; support for test procedures, test scripts and test suites. The functionality to be included in later increments will be driven by customer demand: however they expect to provide an incident management system, a web front-end, and interfaces to other proprietary tools and database management systems.

Which of the following would you expect to see in the master test plan?

A description of how the test cases are cross-referenced to requirements in the test management tool.
A detailed identification of the resources that will carry out structural testing in the first iteration.
The test approach that will be applied at system integration testing.
A list of the names of the testers who will carry out the performance testing for the final iteration.

Correct answer: C

Which of the following would be the TWO most appropriate examples of entry criteria documented in the system integration test plan?

The percentage of decision coverage achieved during unit testing.
The availability of the latest version of the capture-replay tool (for testing the interface with the newly developed test management tool).
The sign-off of a performance test software release note (test item transmittal report) by both development and testing showing that system performance meets the specified acceptance criteria.
The percentage of acceptance test procedures scheduled for execution.
The percentage of requirements coverage achieved during system integration test.

Correct answer: AB

Topic 4, Scenario 4, V2 "Test Management Tool"

The project situation after 11 months is:

- The first increment was released one week late but contained sufficient functionality to be declared fit for purpose'. However, there were 20 outstanding incidents deferred to increment two.

- The amount of voluntary overtime worked PV the test team has reduced the second Increment slippage to just 3 weeks.

- There is talk of reducing the scope of requirements. The purpose of this is to first deliver the application with support for manual testing and then to provide a delivery * weeks later to resolve any remaining points and provide support for automated testing (i.e. the link to the capture-replay tool).

- Concerns have been expressed by a section of the user community, that in some places the usability is very poor.

Which test management control option is most appropriate to adopt under these circumstances?

Introduce mandatory evening and weekend working to retrieve the 3 week slippage.
Reconsider the exit criteria and review the test plan in the context of the current situation.
Advise the user community regarding the reduced scope of requirements and the additional incremental delivery.
Arrange a meeting with the user community representatives to discuss the user interface.

Correct answer: B

Risks should be constantly reviewed. Given the current situation, which one of the following factors is most likely to lead to a revised view of product risk?

The concerns over the user interface may lead to changes to the interface which cannot be implemented by development in time for the second test iteration.
The concerns over the user interface raises the likelihood of a risk in that area and increases the amount of test effort needed for the user interface, thereby limiting the test effort available for other parts of the test management tool.
The delivery of the application without the interface changes may upset the user community.
The method used for test estimation is not accurate enough and hence the money spent on testing exceeded its budget.

Correct answer: B

Topic 5, Scenario 5, V1"Human Resource System"

You have recently been employed as a test manager for a software house producing Human Resource (HR) systems, namely Payroll, Personnel and Recruitment systems. The company is relatively new and wants to make a major impact in the market by producing a worldwide enterprise HR product.

You have been asked to write a testing strategy for the company. Which statement best explains how risk can be addressed within the testing strategy?

A test strategy should address identified generic product risks and present a process for mitigating those risks in line with the testing policy.
A test strategy identifies the specific product for a project risk and defines the approach for the test project.
A test strategy is derived from the test policy and describes the way risk assessments are performed in projects.
A test strategy is the result of a project risk analysis and defines the approach and resources for testing.

Correct answer: A

Topic 5, Scenario 5, V1"Human Resource System"

You have recently been employed as a test manager for a software house producing Human Resource (HR) systems, namely Payroll, Personnel and Recruitment systems. The company is relatively new and wants to make a major impact in the market by producing a worldwide enterprise HR product.

Part of the testing strategy indicates that you are going to be using systematic test design techniques. Your manager has asked that you present the main advantages of using these techniques at the next board meeting. Identify THREE main benefits of using systematic test design techniques within this company.

Easier to quickly adapt testing to changing requirements compared to experienced-based testing
Targets certain types of faults
Will guide experienced testers to find defects
Provides a way to differentiate depth of testing based on product risks by using different techniques
More enhanced documentation and therefore higher repeatability and reproducibility
Will make non-systematic testing redundant
Will reduce the need for early reviews
