Club 65 to 90 is a holiday club for retired people run by a small company, the IT department consists of 1 Designer, 3 Developers and 1 System Tester Their booking system has been "live" for a number of years and the company has a loyal client base. A variety of automation tools are used for development and testing to improve effectiveness and efficiency. A new project will introduce a loyalty scheme and both a Business Requirement Specification and a System Design Specification have been produced A Rapid Application Development (RAD) lifecycle model will be used where time is crucial.

Testers have not used representative and realistic operational profiles and data, which has led to significant production problems. The following test policy statements have been proposed for the project: a. Testing must be risk based; b. A Master Test Plan, confirming to IEEE829, must be produced for each test project; c. Test procedures must be run by a tester who did not write the procedure; d. Regression testing should be carried out on all releases; e. The testers are accountable for all defects found in production; f. Time must be given to designing test environments so that they are representative of the live environment.

You are a Test Manager at a company that develops mobile phone applications. Based on historical data in your company, you have calculated the following average metrics for system testing: for each 100 LOC (Lines Of Code). 4 test cases are executed each test case takes on average 15 minutes to execute and check for each 1000 LOC, 5 defects are found You have used this information to create an estimate for the system testing of a new mobile phone application being developed to submit gas and electricity readings. The application delivered for system testing has 50.000 lines of code. At the end of system testing, 250 defects are discovered. Assume that: the system test of the new mobile phone application will require the same amount of effort as previous applications defect density = number of defects0 LOC no new tools or processes have been introduced to the test team Based only on the given information, which one of the following statements is true about this new mobile phone application?

You are Test Manager working on a project which is improving the user interface for its call centre staff handling customer enquiries. The project has completed UAT for the first iteration; however a large number of defects were raised by call centre staff seconded to help with the User Acceptance testing. The defects described the user interface as not being intuitive enough with a poor 'help' facility. A user representative spent a week working with developers and system testers to explain the issues, which were subsequently agreed to have resulted from poorly specified usability requirements. The requirements were defined separately for each iteration and have been formally reviewed by business analysts, developers and the IT director. The user representative was also able to answer a number of other questions that the system test team had regarding call centre workflows, which improved their domain knowledge. You have been asked to conduct a project retrospective and recommend improvements for the next iteration which introduces further user interface changes. Which of the following would be the MOST effective improvement for the next iteration?

Following identification of a number of costly system performance failures late in the development lifecycle, your organisation has introduced a more rigorous review process for system design documents and source code to enhance phase containment.

You have been tasked with evaluating the current defect management tool that will be used to support the reviews and dynamic testing, to ensure that the correct defect data attributes will be captured to enable these checks to be done. Which three of the following attributes would be MOST effective? a) Phase of introduction b) Severity c) Steps to reproduce the failure d) Resolution details e) Phase of detection SELECT ONE OPTION
