Select all that apply, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    The management asks the testers to be kept informed about the intensity, quality and results of testing.
  • ○

    The testers’ recommendations to improve the system or its testability are adopted by the development team.
  • ○

    The same regressions tests are manually executed by the same testers, for every product release, without regression test tools.
  • ○

    The testers are assessed on whether and how often they detect important and critical failures.
  • ○

    Test quality is measured by counting the number of customer/user reported problems.
Question 5

The main objectives the senior management team wants to achieve are:

to reduce the costs associated with dynamic testing

to use reviews to ensure that the project is on course for success and following the plan

to use reviews as a well-documented and effective bug-removal activity following a formal process with well-defined roles to determine the effectiveness of reviews in terms of phase containment to improve phase containment effectiveness

Which of the following answers would you expect to describe the best way to achieve these objectives?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    You should plan for lightweight exit-phase reviews at the end of each development and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis aimed at identifying the larger cluster of defects.
  • ○

    You should plan for formal exit-phase reviews at the end of each development and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis aimed at identifying the larger cluster of defects.
  • ○

    You should plan for formal exit-phase reviews at the end of each development phase and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis of the bugs found during testing to determine the people responsible for those bugs.
  • ○

    You should plan for formal exit-phase reviews at the end of each development and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis of the bugs found during testing to determine the phase in which they have been introduced.
Question 6

Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Define very detailed mission statements, which allow testing work to be broken into sessions of up to 10 minutes duration in which testing is guided by these mission statements.
  • ○

    Break the testing work in 30 to 120 minutes sessions and use properly defined mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing during these sessions.
  • ○

    Define very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test.
  • ○

    Exploratory testing should not be managed because such testing is inherently unmanageable and not measurable.
