Consider the following test strategies:I: Consultative test strategy -II: Reactive test strategy -III: Analytical test strategy -IV: Process-compliant test strategyConsider also the following examples of test activities:Prioritize the test cases, based on the results of a FMEA analysis, to ensure early coverage of the most important areas and discovery of the most important defects during test executionExecute usability testing driven by the guidance of a sample of users (external to the test team)Perform exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phaseOn an Agile project, execute tests that cover the test conditions identified for each user story of a feature planned for iterationWhich of the following correctly matches each test strategy with an appropriate example?
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?
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?
Based on the historical data of 5 past and similar projects, you have calculated these average numbers of defects detected in system testing: for each 10000 LOC (lines of code), 200 defects for each person-month of development team effort, 49 defectsYou want to use this information to perform estimation for a new project.The project manager tells you that he/she has estimated 20000 new LOC for this new project.Four developers work for four months on this project before system testing.During system testing, 797 defects are discovered.Assume that the system test of this new project is using the same amount of work as spent in the past projects.Based on this information only, which of the following statement is certainly true about this project?
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 projectsII: Unexpected timing of components arrivalIII: Stability of the integration test team (no turnover)IV: Many and geographically distributed sub-teamsWhich of the following statements is true?
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) systemAll 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?
