TM12 sample questions

Question 1

You are not confident with the assessment of the risk level and you suspect that it will be possible to find high-priority bugs in low-risk areas. Furthermore the period for test execution is very short. Your goal is to test all the product risks in a risk-based way, while assuring that each product risk gets at least some amount of testing.

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

Accepted Answer

T1, T3, T5, T7, T9, T2, T4, T6, T8, T10

Answer

T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10

Answer

T10, T9, T8, T7, T6, T5, T4, T3, T2, T1

Answer

T10, T8, T6, T4, T2, T9, T7, T5, T3, T1

Question 2

Test Management

Consider an agile team adopting Extreme Programming (XP) with five developers and one tester without any coding experience.

To which of the following activities would you expect the tester will contribute most?

Accepted Answer

Supporting the customer in the execution of acceptance testing

Answer

Developing unit tests

Answer

Executing unit tests

Answer

Planning and executing tests during the integration test phase to detect interface defects

Question 3

Test Management

Assume you have some data related to confirmation testing during system testing of a past project.
In that project 240 bug reports have been opened once, 80 were opened twice, 10 were opened three times and no bug reports have been opened more than three times.

You estimate that a bug report, which has failed its confirmation test, costs, on average, 3 person-hours.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the value of these confirmatory testing activities based on cost of quality?

Accepted Answer

300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure

Answer

340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of external failure

Answer

340 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of internal failure

Answer

300 person-hours have been spent on the project during the system testing phase, because of the failed confirmation tests and this cost belongs to the costs of detection

Question 4

Test Tools and Automation

Assume you are a Test Manager involved in system testing of a CRM application for a Pay-TV company. Currently the application is able to support a proper number of users assuring the required responsiveness. Since the business is expected to grow, you have been asked to evaluate the ability of the application to grow to support more users while maintaining the same responsiveness.

Which of the following tools would you expect to be the most useful at performing this evaluation?

Accepted Answer

Performance tools

Answer

Coverage tools

Answer

Test management tools

Answer

Static analysis tools

Question 5

Test Management

You are managing the system testing for a SOA based system. The integrated system consists of several subsystems:

a SOA middleware
a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system
a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system
a SMS (Subscriber Management System) system
and you performed a risk analysis based on these subsystems.

At the end of the scheduled period for test execution you produce a first classical report based on the traditional metrics of testing. Test pass/fail status and bug status (open/resolved) That table provides you a distorted picture of the quality risk, because there is no indication of the risk level of the failed tests, the tests not run, or the open bugs. Thus, you produce the following table to solve this distortion issue:

In the table above, where you have introduced the concept of risk weighting, the highest risk test or bug report has a score of 1, while the lowest risk test or bug report has a score of 0.04.

Which of the following subsystems, based on the risk scores of the table, is most risky?

Accepted Answer

CRM

Answer

SOA

Answer

BRM

Answer

SMS

Question 6

Test Management Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing?

Accepted Answer

Break the testing work in 30 to 120 minutes sessions and use properly defined mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing during these sessions

Answer

Define very detailed mission statements, which allow testing work to be broken into sessions of up to 10 minutes duration in which testing is guided by these mission statements

Answer

Define very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test

Answer

Exploratory testing should not be managed because such testing is inherently unmanageable and not measurable
