Test Management
Assume you are currently working on a project developing a system where functional requirements are very well specified. Unfortunately non-functional requirements do almost not exist.
You are the Test Manager. You have to choose a technique for test selection that allows testing of non-functional characteristics, especially reliability.
Which of the following techniques for test selection do you expect being most useful in this scenario?
Number of correct responses: 1
K21 credit

• A.Ambiguity reviews
• B.Cause-effect graphing
• C.Test condition analysis
• D.A model-based technique based on the creation of operational profiles

What test process is included as part of TPI Next? [1]

• A.Identify test environment
• B.Identify test specification
• C.Identify test execution
• D.Identify test conditions

Test Management
Based on the historical data of 5 past and similar projects, you have calculated these average numbers of defects detected in system testing:
- for each 10000 LOC (lines of code), 200 defects
- for each person-month of development team effort, 49 defects
You want to use this information to perform estimation for a new project.
The project manager tells you that he/she has estimated 20000 new LOC for this new project.
Four developers work for four months on this project before system testing.
During system testing, 797 defects are discovered.
Assume that the system test of this new project is using the same amount of work as spent in the past projects.
Based on this information only, which of the following statement is certainly true about this project?
Number of correct responses: 1
K33 credits

• A.The code for the new project contains a higher defect density than the code of the past projects
• B.40000 LOC have been delivered to system testing (against the 20000 LOC planned by the project manager)
• C.More LOC than planned have been delivered to system testing with a higher defect density than the past projects
• D.The number of defects found during the system test phase on the new project is approximately proportional to the development team effort

Test Management
You are the Test Manager on a project following an iterative life-cycle model. The project should consist of nine iterations of one month duration each. It is planned to develop the most important features to have a stable core of the application in the first three iterations and to add the additional features in the last six iterations.
At the beginning of the first iteration, only a draft version of the requirements specification document for the core features is available. Assume that during each of the first three iterations, the chosen features are fully completed and unit tested.
Which of the following statements is true in this context?
Number of correct responses: 1
K43 credits

• A.The system test phase should start when all the requirements are frozen
• B.You should apply the same test strategy as used in a sequential life cycle model
• C.You should allocate all the effort for the system test phase only in the last iteration
• D.You should allocate a large effort for system testing during the first three iterations

Defect Management
Consider a defect report and assume that a part of its lifecycle includes the following states:
New: Is the initial state
Working: Means that the developers are addressing the defect in order to produce a fix for the defect Clarification: Means that the developers need more information from the tester to address the defect and produce a fix for the defect and the tester is working to provide this information to the developers Verification: Means that a fix for the defect has been produced and the tester is running the adequate tests to verify whether the fix solves the defect Closed: is the final state Which of the following answers represents an invalid sequence of states that can't lead the bug report to the
"Closed" state?
Number of correct responses: 1
K21 credit

• B.New, Working, Verification, Working, Clarification, Working, Closed
• C.New, Working, Verification, Closed
• D.New, Working, Verification, Working, Clarification, Working, Verification, Closed
