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 mentioned characteristics relate to the master test plan?

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

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

You have investigated different possibilities and selected four of them to present to IT management.

Which of the proposals will you most likely give your highest recommendations?

A. Insourcing of test automation based on an offer from a local company ABC that has people who are specialists in system level capture-replay automation tools and they also do regular training courses in test automation methods and tools. They can then work closely with Vicki.

B. Outsourcing of test automation based on an offer from an Asian company, AsiaAutoTest, which has people who are specialists in system level capture-replay automation tools. They also offer training and besides they offer to run and maintain the regression tests in the future.

C. Internal offer from the development department of XYZ to create the regression package using CppUnit as test automation tool. One of the development groups have very good experiences in automating unit tests, and they are willing to do training as well.

D. Solution from a tool vendor offering to educate two test team members in the use of their easy- to-use test automation capture replay tool over the first 3 month and based on that build the regression test suite. In addition to Vicki, Steve is the only one that has time available to be educated.

Which of the following is a benefit of independent testing?

A. Code cannot be released into production until independent testing is complete.

B. Testing is isolated from development.

C. Independent testers find different defects and are unbiased.

D. Developers do not have to take as much responsibility for quality.

What would be a test approach regarding the test design techniques to be applied that would fit an item with the highest risk?

A. Component testing: decision testing; System testing: exploratory testing

B. Component testing: decision testing; System testing: decision table testing

C. Component testing: statement testing; System testing: equivalence partitioning

D. Component testing: statement testing; System testing: decision table partitioning

Risks should be constantly reviewed. Given the current situation, which one of the following factors is most likely to lead to a revised view of product risk?

A. The concerns over the user interface may lead to changes to the interface which cannot be implemented by development in time for the second test iteration.

B. The concerns over the user interface raises the likelihood of a risk in that area and increases the amount of test effort needed for the user interface, thereby limiting the test effort available for other parts of the test management tool.

C. The delivery of the application without the interface changes may upset the user community.

D. The method used for test estimation is not accurate enough and hence the money spent on testing exceeded its budget.

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
