Question 2

Your agile project has scheduled a final sprint before release to fix and re-test all open defects with a
priority level of 3 or above.
The following defect report shows the defect fields that are currently being captured on the system.
Title: Unable to add excursions to pre-paid cruises
Date raised: 21/05/18
Author: Emma Rigby
Status: Fixed
What occurred: I went to book an excursion for a pre-paid cruise but received an error message
saying, Facility not available. I can book excursions on cruises that have not yet been fully paid.
What should have occurred: Requirement 3.12 says clearly that customers can add excursions after
cruises have been fully paid so the facility should have been available (when an additional amount
may now need to be paid).
Priority: 2
Software build: 2.1
Test level: System test
Environment details: System test 3
Which of ONE of the following additional defect report fields would be MOST beneficial for the sprint
team to add?

• A. Severity.
• B. Test Script Id.
• C. Actual results.
• D. Expected results.

Answer:

A

Question 3

a) Failure prone software delivered.
b) Software does not perform its intended functions.

Question 4

Which of the following BEST describes how configuration management supports the test process?

• A. It enables the tester to reproduce the tested item through unique identification and version control.
• B. It enables the tester to systematically design test conditions, cases and data.
• C. It enables incidents to be tracked from discovery and classification to correction and confirmation of the solution.
• D. It helps the test manager to decide how best to integrate and coordinate the testing activities into the software life cycle.

Answer:

A

Question 5

Which of the following would NOT typically be covered in a test summary report?

Question 6

99/102
Which one of the following statements about techniques for estimating test effort is correct?

• A. The metrics-based technique finds the most similar former project and uses its original estimate for the current project.
• B. The expert-based approach is based on the experience of the owners of the testing tasks or by subject matter experts.
• C. The metrics-based technique uses metrics supplied by the current test team based on their subjective feel for effort required.
• D. In an expert-based approach, the test lead with the most years in the role is chosen to produce the estimate.

Answer:

B

Question 7

Tests have been specified for the latest software release and users have prioritised these.
However, there are some dependencies between tests as shown in the table below (e.g. Test ID.
123 cannot be run until Test ID. 456 has been successfully completed).

Which test execution schedule best meets the prioritisation and dependency conditions?

• A. 3, 5, 7, 10, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 1.
• B. 5, 7, 4, 3, 9, 10, 1, 6, 8, 2.
• C. 6, 1, 2, 9, 4, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10.
• D. 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 7, 9, 10, 6, 8.

Answer:

D

a) Independent testers can find different defects.
b) Developers may put less emphasis on quality.
c) Independent testers can be seen as the reason for delayed projects.
d) Independent testers can verify assumptions made during the specification of a system.

• A. a and b are benefits, c and d are drawbacks.
• B. b and c are benefits, a and d are drawbacks.
• C. a and d are benefits, b and c are drawbacks.
• D. c and d are benefits, a and b are drawbacks.

Answer:

C

Question 9

Which of the following BEST describes a methodical approach to the Error Guessing test technique?
A. A tester dynamically designs and executes tests based on their knowledge, exploration of the test
item and the results of previous tests.
B. An experienced tester makes a list of potential defects and failures, and designs and runs tests to
generate these failures should the defects be present in the code.
C. A tester designs, implements and executes tests to cover test conditions found in checklists that
are based on what is important for the user.
D. An inexperienced tester is asked to attempt to guess errors that may have been missed by
experienced testers during formal test design.
