Which of the following is an example of the test closure activity indicated as "lessons learned"?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K2 1 credit -

  • A. Archive all the test results of the acceptance testing phase
  • B. Deliver a list of the open defects of a software product released into production to the service desk team
  • C. Participate in a meeting at the end of a project aimed at better managing the events and problems of future projects
  • D. Deliver an automated regression test suite, used during the system test phase of a software product released into production, to the team responsible for maintenance testing


Answer : C

Assume that no additional product risks have been identified during the first week of test execution.



Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the residual risks associated with the identified product risks, at the end of the first week of test execution?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K3 2 credits -

  • A. Since R3 is the only risk for which all test cases have passed, the risk has been reduced by 20%
  • B. The test execution status table indicates that the risk has been reduced by 56%
  • C. The residual risk level cant be determined, because it requires that all the test cases have been executed
  • D. The test execution table doesnt give an indication of the risk level of the open defects and the test cases that failed or are not run yet


Answer : D

You are following a risk-based testing strategy. The test execution time is very limited.
Assume that all the product risk items require more or less the same level of test effort.


Which of the following answers describes the best execution schedule in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K3 3 credits -

  • A. 1- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel 2- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents 3- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card 4- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card
  • B. 1- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card 2- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents 3- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card 4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel
  • C. 1- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card 2- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card 3- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents 4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel
  • D. 1- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card 2- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card 3- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents 4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel


Answer : D

The following are the requirements identified as critical:
REQ-SEL-001. The user shall be able to combine all the three products with all the four durations to define an item to purchase
REQ-SEL-002. The user shall be able to add a maximum of six different items to the shopping cart
REQ-PUR-001. The user shall be able to purchase all the items in the shopping cart using a credit voucher
REQ-PUR-002. The user shall be able to purchase all the items in the shopping cart using the available credit already charged on the smartcard
REQ-PUR-003. The user shall be able to purchase all the items in the shopping cart using all the accepted credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and Great Wall Card)
REG-LOGO-001. The user shall be able to logout (by clicking the logout button) from both the select and purchase pages going back to the browse page (anonymous navigation)
Moreover the following quality risk item has been identified as critical:
QR-P1. The web customer portal might not be able to provide the expected response time
(less than 10 sec) for the purchase transactions under a load of up-to 1000 concurrent users
Test analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have been identified:
TC-SEL-01. Test the combinations of products and durations to define an item to purchase
TC-SEL-02. Test the maximum number of items, which can be added to the shopping cart
TC-PUR-01. Test the purchase of an item
TC-PUR-02. Test the purchase of an item with the credit charged on the smartcard
Assume that you have used traceability to determine the logical test cases that cover all the requirements and the single risk item identified in that scenario.
Which of the following is a positive logical test that is complete, is correct, and covers the
REG-LOGO-001 requirement?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K3 2 credits -

  • A. On the purchase page (“purchase state”), click the logout button; verify that the browse page (“browse state”) is displayed
  • B. On the select page (“select state”), click the logout button
  • C. On the purchase page (“purchase state”), click the logout button; verify that the “Impossible to logout – complete or cancel the current transaction” message is displayed
  • D. On the browse page (“browse state”), click the logout button


Answer : A

Testing Process -
Assume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerce application.
The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability is provided through a set of web services.
The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service Level
Agreements) like the following:
SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five seconds under a load of up-to 5000 concurrent users
The main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specification document will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testing strategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count on a well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior under various load levels produced by the system architect.
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones to achieve the test objectives in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K4 3 credits -

  • A. Perform unit performance testing for each single web service
  • B. Monitor the SLAs after the system has been released into the production environment
  • C. Perform system performance testing, consisting of several performance testing sessions, to verify if all the SLAs have been met
  • D. Perform static performance testing by reviewing the architectural model of the system under various load levels
