Question 2

Topic 8, Scenario 8, V2 "Test Proems Improvement'

You have raised the issue that improving the testing process is also dependent on the

status of the software development process.

Identify THREE items that would be part of the work-breakdown structure showing the key

testing activities for the acceptance test project. 2 credits (for 2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)

Options :

A : Test planning, test case preparation and test execution for each of the four iterations

B : Work should be explicitly allocated to test completion, test management, installation and to training on using the system

C : Activities to deploy the system in the user environment

D : Regression testing in the second, third and fourth iterations

E : Development activities for unit and integration testing

F : Reviews on requirements documentation

G : Defining test environment requirements for system testing

Answer: A,B,D

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT a typical key challenge for testing in a RAD based

development approach? 1 credit

Options :

A : Re-usable test scripts for (automated) regression testing

B : Project management and control

C : No complete requirements specification

D : Time-boxing

Answer: B

Question 4

SCENARIO

‘Safe as Houses’ is a company that specializes in home security software, including alarm systems,

surveillance cameras and other forms of deterrence.

It is currently developing the software for a device which simulates an active television, producing sound and

light images that suggest someone is home watching the television. ‘Safe as Houses’ recently won a lucrative

contract to supply the software to ‘Smart Alarms’, who will be manufacturing the hardware devices. Sound will

be created using actual television and film archives, licensed through a third-party supplier, ‘Silver Sound Ltd’. A

user interface will be developed in house to allow the customer to choose sound tracks.

The software will be delivered as a program of work, consisting of three projects. Project 1 will develop the

software for the light images, Project 2 will develop the sound system and Project 3 will integrate the two using

hardware prototypes supplied from ‘Smart Alarms’. The program will conclude with ‘Smart Alarms’ performing

User Acceptance testing in usability labs.

The ‘Safe as Houses’ test team has experience in testing alarm and surveillance systems but lacks experience

in testing light imagery software. The organizational test policy includes the following objectives:

1. Exploratory testing should be used to augment more formal, structured testing within constraints of time and

budget

2. Test automation tools should be purchased and employed to maximize the breadth and efficiency of

regression testing

The Program risk register currently includes the following risks:

Refer to SCENARIO. It has been agreed that the following test planning documents will be produced:

• A single overarching document outlining the general testing methodology for the whole program of work

• A subordinate test plan for each of the three projects

• A separate test plan for performance testing within each project

Which one of the following options BEST describes the type of test management document that will meet the

program requirements?

Options :

A :

Option 2.

B :

Option 4.

C :

Option 1.

D :

Option 3.

Answer: D

Question 5

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 THREE of the above mentioned characteristics relate to the master test plan? 1

credit

Options :

A : Any deviation from the procedures described in the test strategy document

B : The overall estimated costs, timescales and resource requirements

C : A detailed schedule of testing activities

D : The development deliverables to be tested

E : Which test staff members (names) will be involved and when

F : Level of requirements coverage achieved

Answer: A,B,D
