Consider the following skills assessment spreadsheet for your test team (consisting of four team members):This spreadsheet has three sections: technical expertise, testing skills and professionalism.The skill levels for each skill area for both the "technical expertise" and "testing skills" sections have been rated on a four-point scale:- E (Expert): indicates that a person has expert knowledge and experience in the skill area- B (Beginner): indicates that a person has some knowledge and experience in the skill area but he/she is not autonomous- W (Wants to learn): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill area but he/she wants to learn that skill- NI (Not Interested): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill area and he/she is not interested to learn that skillThe skill levels for each skill area of the "professionalism" section have been rated on a three point scale (H=High, M=Medium, L=Low).Consider the following analysis of testing skills performed on four people. Alex, Robert, John and Mark (all the skills have been rated on an ascending scale. The higher the score, the better the skill):Which of these people, based on this analysis, would you expect to be most suitable to work specifically as test designer?
Consider the following list of statements about audits and management reviews:I. Audits are usually more effective than management reviews at finding defectsII. Audits and management reviews have the same main goals, the only difference is related to the roles and level of formalityIII. A typical outcome of an audit includes observations and recommendations, corrective actions and a pass/fail assessmentIV. An audit is not the appropriate mechanism to use at the code review in order to detect defects prior to dynamic testingWhich of the following statements is true?
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 cant indicate or suggest improvement to areas of the development processII. Test process improvement is important because it is much more effective than software process improvement to improve the quality of a software systemIII. Test process improvement is important because several process improvement models (STEP, TPI Next, TMMi) have been developed over the yearsIV. 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 TMMiWhich of the following answers is correct?
Which of the following information would you expect to be the most useful to perform a defect clustering analysis?
Assume you are managing the system testing phase of a project.The system test execution period is scheduled to twenty weeks.All tests are manual tests. You are following a risk-driven test approach.During the last staff meeting the project manager tells you new deadlines that will not allow completion of all the system tests.Which of the following would you expect to be the best way to respond to this situation?
Which of the following statements describing the consequences of specifying test conditions at a detailed level is NOT true?
