Q. 1: You and the project stakeholders develop a list of product risks and project risks
during the planning stage of a project. What else should you do with those lists of risks
during test planning?
A. Determine the extent of testing required for the product risks and the mitigation and
contingency actions required for the project risks.
B. Obtain the resources needed to completely cover each product risk with tests and transfer
responsibility for the project risks to the project manager.
C. Execute sufficient tests for the product risks, based on the likelihood and impact of each
product risk and execute mitigation actions for all project risks.
D. No further risk management action is required at the test planning stage.
Correct Answer A
Explanation: The main objective of test management is to reduce both the extent of product
and project risks. Answer D is for sure incorrect. Answer B is talking about finding the resources
to do the testing, which is not a risk management activity. Answer C is confusing but the
question is asking about what to do during test planning and ‘Executing” tests is not part of the
planning. So the correct answer is A.
Q. 2: Which of the following is among the typical tasks of a Test Manager?

A. Develop system requirements, design specifications and usage models.
B. Handle all test automation duties.
C. Keep tests and test coverage hidden from programmers.
D. Gather and report test progress metrics.
Correct answer D
Explanation: “Develop system requirements, design specifications and usage models.” is the
task of an analyst and architect. “Handle all test automation duties.” is the task of the tester.
“Keep tests and test coverage hidden from programmers.” is not an actual task. “Gather and
report test progress metrics.” is the task of a Test Manager.
Q. 3: Why is independent testing important?

A. Independent testing is usually cheaper than testing your own work.
B. Independent testing is more effective at finding defects.
C. Independent testers should determine the processes and methodologies used.
D. Independent testers are dispassionate about whether the project succeeds or fails.
Correct Answer B
Explanation: Independent testing is usually more expensive. Independent testers’

dispassionate about whether the project succeeds is a drawback of independent testing. And it
is not their job to determine processes and methodologies used. However, Independent testing
is more effective at finding defects because of their objective assessment.

Q. 4: ‘Entry criteria’ should address questions such as

I. Are the necessary documentation, design and requirements information available
that will allow testers to operate the system and judge correct behavior.
II. Is the test environment-lab, hardware, software and system administration
support ready?
III. Statement coverage reached a specific percentage.
IV. Are the supporting utilities, accessories and prerequisites available in forms that
testers can use.
A. I, II and IV
B. I, II and III
C. I, II, III and IV
D. II, III and IV.
Correct Answer A
Explanation: All options are valid entry criteria except option (III) which could be an exit
criterion.
Q. 5: ISO/IEEE 29119-3 test plan documentation standard could contain all of the following
except
A. test execution schedule
B. expected test deliverables
C. test tasks
D. test cases
Correct answer D
Explanation: all options can be found in the IEEE 29119-3 test plan template except “test
cases”.
Q. 6: For a test procedure that is checking modifications of customers on a database, which

two steps below would be the lowest priority if we didn't have time to execute all of the
steps? (From the book “Foundations of Software Testing” by Rex Black)
1 Open the database and confirm existing customer
2 Change customer's marital status from single to married
3 Change customer's street name from Parks Road to Park Road
4 Change customer's credit limit from 500 to 750
5 Replace customer's first name with exactly the same first name
6 Close the customer record and close the database
A. Tests 1 and 4
B. Tests 2 and 3
C. Tests 5 and 6
D. Tests 3 and 5
Correct answer D
Explanation: To answer this question, ask yourself “If I have no time, what are the most
important test cases to execute that has a high probability that the user might use”. Tests 3
and 5 are very rare situations to be done by the user.
Q. 7: Agile testing is a kind of the following strategies

A. Model-based testing approach
B. Methodical testing approach
C. Reactive testing approach
D. Process or standard-compliant testing approach
Correct answer D
Explanation: Agile testing is a kind of Process- or standard-compliant testing approach.
Q. 8: Which of the following is NOT part of configuration management:

A. Status accounting of configuration items
B. Auditing conformance to ISO9001
C. Identification of test versions
D. Record of changes to documentation over time
Correct Answer B
Explanation: Identification of test versions, Record of changes to documentation over time

and Status accounting of configuration items are all parts of configuration management.
Q. 9: Which of the following metrics would be most useful to monitor during test
execution?
A. Percentage of test cases written.
B. Number of test environments remaining to be configured.
C. Number of defects found and fixed.
D. Percentage of requirements for which a test has been written.
Correct answer C
Explanation: “Percentage of test cases written” and “Percentage of requirements for which a
test has been written” would be good in tracking the testing activity during test analysis and
design. Number of test environments remaining to be configured could be used during test
implementation. “Number of defects found and fixed” is most useful during test execution.
Q. 10: In a defect report, the tester makes the following statement, 'At this point, I expect
to receive an error message explaining the rejection of this invalid input and asking me to
enter a valid input. Instead the system accepts the input, displays an hourglass for between
one and five seconds and finally terminates abnormally, giving the message, "Unexpected
data type: 15. Click to continue." '
This statement is likely to be found in which of the following sections of ISO/IEEE 29119-3
standard incident/defect report?
A. Summary
B. Impact
C. Item pass/fail criteria
D. Incident description
Correct answer D
Explanation: The tester is giving a detailed description of the defect, So this statement should
be stated in the defect description section of the incident report.
Q. 11: ‘Defect Density’ calculated in terms of

A. The number of defects identified in a component or system divided by the size of the
component or the system
B. The number of defects found by a test phase divided by the number found by that test phase
and any other means afterward
C. The number of defects identified in the component or system divided by the number of
defects found by a test phase
D. The number of defects found by a test phase divided by the number found by the size of the
system
Correct Answer A
Explanation: Defect Density = The number of defects identified in a component or system

divided by the size of the component or the system
