QUESTION I In the test strategy document your organization declares:

- To adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testinG. unit,
integration and system testing
- To use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of
testing
The following is an excerpt of the "approach" section for the system test plan document
of a new project:
"Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution,
the following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning,
test analysis and test design. Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-
hours), test cases executed (passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as
code coverage, will be collected)."
In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.
Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?
K4 3 credits
A. The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the test
strategy
B. The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the risk-
based testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the regression testing strategy
C. The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the
regression testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the risk-based testing strategy
D. The approach described the system test plan document is inconsistent with both the
risk-based and regression testing strategies

QUESTION 2
In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of a
project you are working on as Test Manager.
You have identified as one ofthe main project risks, that the requirements specification
will still be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase.
Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test
preparation.
You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the
same organization.
Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at
mitigating this risk?
K4 3 credits
A. Don't prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the new
features don't introduce regression
B. Make reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight tests
that can be easily updated during test execution
C. Don't design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that test
execution is blocked due to incomplete requirements
D. Even if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project manager
without preparing any tests

You are managing the system testing for a SOA based system. The integrated system
consists of several subsystems:
- A SOA middleware
- A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system
- A BRIM (Billing and Revenue Management) system
- A SMS (Subscriber Management System) system and you performed a risk analysis
based on these subsystems
Test risk scores Bug risk scores
Total Pass Failed Not Run Total Open Resolved
SOA 80,60 75,60 1,20 3,80 11,70 0,80 10,90
CRM 50,10 18,80 3,20 28, 10 14,90 0,70 14,20

SMS 19,80 17,10 0,50 2,20 2,10 0,20 1,90
At the end of the scheduled period for test execution you produce a first classical report
based on the traditional metrics of testing. Test pass/fail status and bug status
(operJresoIved) That table provides you a distorted picture of the quality risk, because
there is no indication of the risk level of the failed tests, the tests not run, or the open
bugs. Thus, you produce the following table to solve this distortion issue: In the table
above, where you have introduced the concept of risk weighting, the highest risk test or
bug report has a score of I , while the lowest risk test or bug report has a score of 0.04.

QUESTION 43

Consider the following skills assessment spreadsheet for your test team (consisting of
four team members): This spreadsheet has three sections: technical expertise, testing
skills and professionalism. The skill levels for each skill area for both the "technical
expertise" and "testing skills" sections have been rated on a four-point scale:
- E (Expert): indicates that a person has expert knowledge and experience in the skill
area
- B (Beginner): indicates that a person has some knowledge and experience in the skill
area but he/she is not autonomous
- W (Wants to learn): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill
area but he/she wants to learn that skill
- NI (Not Interested): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill
area and he/she is not interested to learn that skill

QUESTION 52

You are the Test Manager for a project to develop a web customer portal of a Pay-TV
company that allows customers (with a smartcard and a set-top box) to purchase digital
contents. In the "select" page the system displays a dialogue where the customer can
select the items (digital contents) he/she is interested in. In this page he/she can add
one or more items to a shopping cart. An item consists of a product and a duration.
There are three types of products: Movie, sport and premium (movie and sport). There
are four possible durations: I months, 2 months, winter (from the beginning of January
to end of March) and summer (from the beginning of July to end of September). All the
combinations of products and durations are allowed to define an item. Thus there are
twelve possible items. A maximum of six different items can be added to the shopping
cart at a time.
When the customer decides to check out he/she goes to the "purchase" page where
he/she can pay the total amount of the shopping cart in three different ways:
- using a credit voucher
- using a credit already charged on the smartcard
- using a credit card (accepted credit cards are. Visa, MasterCard and Great Wall Card)
The customer can logout from both the "select" and "purchase" pages. In this case no
purchase is made. You decide to apply a blended risk-based and reactive testing
strategy and the following is a subset of the exit criteria for system testing: EXCRI- Each
"critical" quality risk item must be covered by at least one test condition EXCR2- Each
"critical" requirement must be covered by at least one test condition

QUESTION 55

Assume you are working on a CAS (Conditional Access System) for Pay-TV that allows
the access, selection and transfer of services and media to authorized users.
Authorized users can choose their
services through different channels: Web Customer Portal, IVR (Interactive Voice
Response), Call Centre and SMS. The system uses a Smart Card to receive and
decrypt the broadcasted encrypted control words which allow decrypting pay-per-view
TV. Every authorized user must have a Smart Card and a Set-Top Box to view the
contents. The following is an excerpt from the product risk analysis document:
Both likelihood and impact have been rated on the following scale: (l Very low, 2 Low, 3
Medium, 4 High, 5 Very High). The required test environment and code have been
delivered. All test cases for each identified product risk item have been written and are
ready to be executed. The Database used to contain the Smart Cards is empty and so
only new Smart Cards can be used during test execution.
A Smatt Card can only be activated if it has been previously pre-activated. This means
the postconditions for the execution of the test cases to test the pre-activation of the
Smart Card are the preconditions for activation of the Smart Card.
