People Skills – Team Composition
Consider the following analysis of testing skills performed on four people: Alex, Robert,
John and Mark (all the skills have been rated on an ascending scale: The higher the score,
the better the skill):

work specifically as test designer?

Test Tools and Automation
Assume you are a Test Manager involved in system testing of a CRM application for a Pay-
TV company. Currently the application is able to support a proper number of users assuring
the required responsiveness. Since the business is expected to grow, you have been
asked to evaluate the ability of the application to grow to support more users while
maintaining the same responsiveness.
Which of the following tools would you expect to be the most useful at performing this
evaluation?

Testing Process
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?

The following is the unique “critical” quality risk item that has been identified:
CR-RSK-1. The GUI of the application might accept non-integer values for the input field
designed to get the number of bottles from the user
Test analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have been
identified:
TC-SEL-2. Test the selection of the package sizes
TC-SEL-4. Test wrong numbers of bottles for an order
TC-CR-RSK-1. 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?

Test Management
Consider the following test strategies:
I. Consultative test strategy
II. Reactive test strategy
III. Analytical test strategy
IV. Process-compliant test strategy
Consider also the following examples of test activities:
1. Prioritize the test cases, based on the results of a FMEA analysis, to ensure early
coverage of the most important areas and discovery of the most important defects during
test execution
2. Execute usability testing driven by the guidance of a sample of users (external to the test
team)
3. Perform exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phase
4. On an Agile project, execute tests that cover the test conditions identified for each user
story of a feature planned for an iteration
Which of the following correctly matches each test strategy with an appropriate example?
