Question 1

You are Test Manager of a project delivering a workflow system for complex business processes. It has been decided a tool is required to increase the efficiency of test execution. What would be a valid issue to consider when deciding whether to build a custom-made tool?

Options :

A : The tool may only be useable for this project and have no long-term benefits.

B : The tool may not meet the specific requirements for testing this project.

C : The tool may be dependent on the person creating the tool if it is not adequately documented.

D : It may not be possible to integrate the tool with existing tools used in the organization.

Answer: C

Question 2

BuyNewItems is a successful online retailer. A new project has been started to enhance the online purchasing

functionality. The enhancements will allow shoppers using the site to search for products with a greater range

of flexibility and present them in a less confusing and more user-friendly user interface.

You are responsible for the creation of the Risk based Test Strategy for the project.

The following risks have been raised:

Risk 1: There is a risk that usability will be a problem because of the less confusing user interface.

Risk 2: There is a risk that a user will not be able to search for products very easily.

Test cases have been written by the Test Analysts to cover Risk 2. Which of the following tests relate

specifically to Risk 2 only?

Options :

A : Open the account details screen, and determine that basic details are displayed clearly.

B : Navigate to the search screen, select the option to ‘clear current search criteria’.

C : In the ‘advanced search’ user interface, enter details and click ‘search’.

D : On a selected product page, select the option to expand product details.

Answer: B

Question 3

Which of the following can demotivate a tester?

Options :

A : Receiving direct and honest feedback on areas to improve

B : Working extra hours, resulting in a successful product deployment

C : When metrics indicate weaknesses in their testing

D : When testing is cut short, resulting in a high number of production defects

Answer: D

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. You are writing the Master Test Plan for Project 2 and must include a section

documenting project risks that you believe could impact testing along with how, as Test Manager, you propose

to manage each risk.

Which one of the following is the MOST appropriate entry for the Master Test Plan for RISK 4 “The user

interface software for the sound systems will be delivered late into testing”?

Options :

A : Ask the stakeholders to accept the risk without mitigation, as code is often late

B : Prepare the testers to work longer hours

C : Accept the risk and develop a contingency plan

D : Transfer the risk to Smart Alarms for them to propose mitigation

Answer: C

Question 5

What test process is included as part of TPI Next?

Options :

A : Identify test specification

B : Identify test environment

C : Identify test execution

D : Identify test conditions

Answer: B
