Question #11 (Topic: Topic 1, Testing Process
)
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?
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?
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 can’t be determined, because it requires that all the test cases have been executed
D. The test execution table doesn’t give an indication of the risk level of the open defects and the test cases that failed or are not run yet
Answer: D
Question #12 (Topic: Topic 1, Testing Process
)
Testing Process
The following are the exit criteria described in the test plan of a software product:
EX1. The test suite for the product must ensure that at least each quality risk item is covered by at least one test case (a quality risk item can be covered by more test cases).
EX2. All test cases in the test suite must be run during the execution phase.
EX3. Defects are classified into two categories: “C” (critical defect) and “NC” (non-critical defect). No known C defects shall exist in the product at the end of the test execution phase.
Which of the following information is useless when the specified exit criteria is evaluated?

Which of the following information is useless when the specified exit criteria is evaluated?
A. A traceability matrix showing the relationships between the product risk items and the test cases
B. A list of all the open defects with the associated classification information extracted from the defect tracking system
C. A chart, showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution, extracted from the defect tracking system
D. The execution status of all the test cases extracted from the test management tool
Answer: C
Question #13 (Topic: Topic 1, Testing Process
)
Testing Process
Which of the following is an example of the test closure activity indicated as "lessons learned"?
Which of the following is an example of the test closure activity indicated as "lessons learned"?
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
Question #14 (Topic: Topic 1, Testing Process
)
A chart showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution during system testing is also available. The chart shows that the daily closure period is consistently and significantly above the rolling closure period for a long period of the system testing phase.
Almost all defects found during system testing have been related to the system as a whole, not related to single units or integrations issues. Almost all quality risks have been addressed during the unit and integration testing phase and no residual quality risks were present in the integrated system. This has been confirmed by exploratory testing sessions performed during system testing, targeted at finding defects in these quality risk areas.
Based on the given information only, which one of the following areas would you expect to be considered more in the retrospective meeting in order to be improved?

B. The defect management process
C. The quality risk analysis process
D. The system design and architecture design reviews
Answer: B
Question #15 (Topic: Topic 2, Test Management
)
You can count on well-written requirements, but you can’t count on an adequate contribution of the stakeholders to the quality risk analysis. You have to mitigate the insufficient contribution of the stakeholders because the risk-based testing approach shall minimize the product risks. Your test team has one expert tester in security testing.
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important in this context?
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important in this context?
A. Extract from the defect tracking system of the previous project all the security defects and failures, and classify them to support design and execution of specific tests
B. Automate all functional and non-functional system tests
C. Apply systematic and exploratory testing for integration and system test
D. Perform exploratory testing sessions with adequate charters covering security aspects
Answer: B
