#2 ou are working on a business intelligence project that will be replacing the product
that is currently in production. The team has identified a risk with the presentation layer
in particular the data extraction and reporting. The developers are using a new tool to
provide this functionality and they are finding it difficult to use. The test team is reporting
significant errors in the reports, both in data and formatting. This information is
important to the business, but they do have a workaround to access the data via a
different interface. That interface is working properly and the users are familiar with it.
Given this information, what are the correct likelihood and impact ratings for this risk
item, assuming I is highest and 5 is lowest?
a. Likelihood = 2, impact = 5
b. Likelihood = 1, impact = 3
c. Likelihood = 1, impact - 1
d. Likelihood = 3, impact — I
B
#2 You are performing a risk analysis for a mobile stock trading application that is c
eduled for world-wide deployment in the coming months. This analysis is based on past
experience customer interviews, and independent input gathered by stakeholders.
Recent competition has put additional pressure on stakeholders to ensure the product
can meet or exceed the functionality provided by previous versions. It is also important
that the additional features as well as faster trade execution and confirmation are
working properly. The developers are behind schedule and this will affect the test
schedule.
Based on this information, which product quality risk should you assess as high impact
during your analysis?
a. Delay to the customer
b. Difficulty with translating the product to other languages and currencies
c. Slow response time
d. Loss of market share
C
2 Which of the following is a reasonable mitigation plan for a risk item that has a
medium likelihood but a low impact because of an easy and obvious workaround (cách
giåi quyêt rö rang)?
a. Hold the release until the risk has been resolved by the development team
b. Add more testing effort to lower the likelihood of the risk happening
c. Transfer the risk to the support department with information regarding how to
workaround the problem
d. A medium likelihood item cannot have a low impact so reassess the risk ratings
C
25 Which is a characteristic of a "depth-first" risk-based testing methodology?
a. Sampling of tests across all risk items
b. Low risk items are identified and run first
c. Execution of the most comprehensive tests regardless of risk level
d. Tests are run in the specific order of risk
In some cases all of the highest-risk tests are run before any lower risk tests, and tests
are run in strict risk order (often called "depth-first") in other cases a sampling approach
is used to select a sample of tests across all the identified risk items using risk to weight
the selection while at the same time ensuring coverage of every risk item at least once
(often called "breadth-first").
D
26 The cost incurred from writing test cases should be assigned to which cost of quality
category?
a. Cost of prevention
b. Cost of detection
c. Cost of internal failure
d. Cost of external failure
B
27 You have just joined a new organization as the test manager. You are working on a
test plan for a product that controls the data that is fed into a patient's pacemaker to
determine if it should speed up or slow down the heart rate. The existing test strategy
emphasizes that the test approach used should always be risk-based but you are
concerned about the regulatory requirements that must be meet for this safety-critical
project. What approach should you use in your test plan?
a. Standard-compliant, because this is a safety-critical project and must meet the
regulatory standards to be released
b. Risk-based, because this is the organization standard and has been proven to be
successful in the past
c. Methodical, because this is the safest approach for a product like this
d. A blended strategy using regulatory and risk-based approaches
D
#28 You are working on a new web site that will replace the organization's existing ec
mmerce web site. The e-commerce side of the business produces 70% of the
company's revenue. You are very concerned about the quality of the release and in
particular, the functioning of the checkout capability. At this point, a user can only
purchase a single item at a time and can only use PayPal to checkout. The product is
due to release very soon and the developers don't think they can get the problems fixed
before release. Postponing the release is not an option.
Given this information, what is the best way to handle the risk with the checkout
function?
a. Mitigate it with further testing and development work
b. Have a contingency in place for what to do if it fails in production (such as swap back
the old web site)

#32 You are working on a testing estimate for a new project. The organization will use
the same developers and testers as were used for previous projects. You have
reviewed the requirements and talked with the BA's and determined that you will need
about 500 test cases. You know that test execution of a single test case will usually take
20 minutes. You've worked out the math and that means you will need about 34 days of
testing (assuming 5 hour days). This estimate doesn't seem right though because
previous projects have taken between four and six months to complete.
Consider the following:
1. Time to review the requirements
2. Time to create the test cases
3. Time to deal with the defects that may be found during testing
4. Time required by the developers to fix the defects
5. Time required for unit testing
6. Time required for I-JAT

estimate?
A
#33 Your management has decided to change to a different test and defect
management tool that will be used for all new projects. No one in your team has used
this tool before. The vendor will help with configuring the tool. What effect should the
new tool adoption have on your test estimate for the next new project?
a. No change because the vendor will handle the configuration effort
b. No change because the developers will not be affected by the tool change
c. The estimate should be increased to account for time to learn the new tool
d. The estimate should be decreased because the new tool will introduce efficiencies in
the process
C
#34 You have been closely tracking the Defect Detection Effectiveness (DDE) for the
last release. You are showing a DDE of 95% which has achieved the goal set by the
organization. This is an example of what type of metric?

c. Process metric
d. People metric
C
#35 One of your exit criteria is to achieve 95% pass rate of all high risk test eases. You
have achieved that goal. What other dimension of test progress should you use with this
metric to ensure you have achieved the appropriate level of quality?
a. Validity
b. Defects
c. Progress
d. People
B
#36 You are working on the testing report for a project that is nearing completion. The
exit criteria for test execution and coverage include the following:
100% coverage of all high and very high risk items

90% coverage of all medium risk items
90% Pass for all medium risk test cases executed
50% coverage of all low risk items
80% Pass for all low risk test cases executed
You have achieved all of these criteria. What is the one critical metric that still needs to
be reviewed before this software can be approved for release?
a. How many hours were used to achieve this level of coverage
b. What was the coverage level achieved by the overall test effort
c. What is the DDE for this software
d. Are there any outstanding high priority/severity defects
d
#37 Your team has concluded testing and is preparing the test summary results for
review with the stakeholders at a management review. You will provide quantitative
metrics to stakeholders in order to obtain a collective decision regarding the readiness
for release.
Which metric should you include in the management review in order to assist
stakeholders with their decision?
a. Percentage of code coverage achieved by all forms of testing
b. Percentage of risk covered organized by risk category
c. Percentage of defect reports resolved versus unresolved
d. Percentage of test conditions identified
B
#38 You've been doing analysis of the last major testing project that produced a tax p
paration product. The project performed well regarding the quantitative values of testing
but failed to deliver the qualitative values to a sufficient level. In fact, although the
software was of excellent quality in terms of residual defects, it was a failure in the
market place because it missed the market window (the tax season) due to the time
required to find and fix the defects. In terms of the cost of quality, where should
expenditure be increased to reduce similar problems with future projects?
a. The cost of prevention
b. The cost of detection
c. The cost of internal failure
d. The cost of external failure
A

43 When is a review checklist used?
a. At the conclusion of the review to be sure all items have been addressed
b. When the review is being organized to be sure the right people are invited
c. During review preparation to ensure the important items are checked
d. During the review retrospective to verify that all participants have turned in the
documents required
C
#44 Your management is complaining that too much time is being spent on
requirements reviews and they would like to stop the practice. You think the reviews are
very valuable and have significantly improved the quality of the code thanks to the
removal of requirements defects found during the reviews. Which of the following
metrics would be most useful in convincing your management that the reviews should
continue?
a. Time required to prepare for and conduct the review
b. Number of defects found and their severity

54 our team has just downloaded an open-source tool that they want to use for test
management. To integrate the tool with your defect tracking system will require some
modifications to the test management tool. The tool has a GNU General Public license-
type license with it. What are the implications of this license?
a. Changes to the source are not allowed
b. The source can be changed but the maintenance agreements will be voided
c. There is an expectation that any code changes made will be shared back to the
community'
d. You will have to pay a royalty fee for each test case added to the tool and for each
user of the tool
C
5 The developers are willing to build a tool that will provide traceability between the
source code modules and the test cases that test those modules. What management
concerns should you have with this development effort?
a. Long term maintenance may not be planned leaving you with an unsupported tool
b. The scope of the project is too large and the tool will be too generic to be useful
c. There are no requirements for this effort so you will be at the mercy of what the
developers decide to implement
d. It is unlikely that the ROI will be achieved
A
#5 Your organization has been using a custom-built tool that manages the process from
code checkin build, code release, test management and defect management. The cost
of maintaining the tool has continued to escalate over the years and it is now just too
expensive to maintain. You have been investigating purchasing a new tool and have
