C. A description of dependencies between test cases

D. A logical collection of test cases

Within the projects, a master test plan and phase test plan will be used. Following is a list of characteristics applicable for test plans:

Which TWO mentioned characteristics relate to the phase test plan?

A. Any deviation from the procedures described in the test

B. strategy document

C. The overall estimated costs, timescales and resource

D. requirements

E. A detailed schedule of testing activities

F. The development deliverables to be tested

G. Which test staff members (names) will be involved and when

H. Level of requirements coverage achieved

Which aspect in the test estimate is the main risk in this project?

A. Quality of the specification

B. Availability of end-users

C. The costs of hardware and tools

D. Unknown input quality due to third party development

In addition to risk, identify TWO other components of a testing strategy.

A. The entry and exit criteria for each test phase

B. Test training needs for the project resources

C. The test design techniques to be used

D. Test performance indicators

E. The test schedule

Which of the following would be the most significant input to estimating the time to carry out the specified testing tasks?

A. The skills and experience of developers to correct the failures.

B. The standards used for the requirements specification.

C. The metrics recorded from testing the capture-replay tool.

D. The number of testers in the company and their grade.

Which of the following would you least expect to form part of the analysis of initial tool costs?

A. Integration with other tools

B. Learning time required to use the new tool

C. Tool portability

D. Evaluation of suitable tools

Identify the THREE types of formal peer reviews that can be recognized.

You are about to release a test progress report to a senior manager, who is not a test specialist. Which of the following topics should NOT be included in the test progress report?

A. Product risks which have been mitigated and those which are outstanding.

B. Recommendations for taking controlling actions

C. Status compared against the started exit criteria

You have been given responsibility for the non-functional testing of a safety-critical monitoring and diagnostics package in the medical area.

Which of the following would you least expect to see addressed in the test plan?

A. Availability

B. Safety

C. Portability

D. Reliability

Since the system is in the medical domain and therefore in the safety critical area, testing needs to be rigorous and evidence is required that the system has been adequately tested. Identify THREE measures that would typically be part of the test approach in this domain and which are not always applicable in other domains!

A. High level of documentation

B. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) sessions

C. Traceability to requirements

D. Non-functional testing

E. Master test planning

F. Test design techniques

G. Reviews
