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? K3 2 credits

Which of the following statements about management of product quality risks in mature organizations with respect to the lifecycle, is true? K2 1 credit

You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features. There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birth date, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password. A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department. Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console. You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA. Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis? K4 3 credits 

You are the Test Manager of a new project that will have three formal levels of testinG. unit, integration and system testing.

Which of the following answers describes the most consistent example of implementation of this test strategy during the execution of the system tests? K2 1 credit

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? K4 3 credits

You are the Test Manager of a new project aimed at developing a software system that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard. The project will follow a V-Model software development life cycle and it will have four formal levels of testing: component, integration, system and acceptance testing.

Test the accepted values from the input field designed to get the number of bottles from the user Assume that you have used traceability to determine the logical test cases that cover all the requirements and the single risk item identified in that scenario. Which of the following is a positive logical test that is complete and correct, and covers the REQ-SEL-4 requirement? K3 2 credits 

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.

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).

Consider an information system of a Pay-Tv company based on a SOA architecture. The integrated system currently consists of three core systems: - a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system - a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system - a CAS (Conditional Access System) system all of them communicating with SOA Middleware. You have been asked to manage the testing activities for the integration of two additional off-the-shelf systems from two different vendors: a SMS (Short Message Service) server and an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system. Assume that there is a high likelihood that the two off-the-shelf systems will be low-quality and that you have a clear proof that the testing performed by the two vendors on their systems has been unsystematic and unprofessional. This obviously leads to higher quality risk for the overall integrated system. You are the Test Manager of this project. Your main goal is to plan for testing activities to mitigate this risk. Which of the following answers best describes the test activities (assuming it is possible to perform all of them) you should plan for?K4 3 credits

Assume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerce application. The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability is provided through a set of web services. The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service Level Agreements) like the following: SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five seconds under a load of up-to 5000 concurrent users The main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specification document will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testing strategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count on a well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior under various load levels produced by the system architect. Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones to achieve the test objectives in this scenario? K4 3 credits
