Question 1

2.3.2 Discuss the importance of balancing tool support and good communication within the defect management process. How do these elements complement each other in achieving effective defect management?

A : Tool support replaces the need for communication, as all information is logged in the tool, making meetings unnecessary.

B : Good communication reduces the need for defect management tools, as all issues can be discussed verbally and resolved on the spot.

C : Tool support provides a structured way to track and manage defects, while good communication ensures that the context and nuances of defects are understood and addressed effectively.

D : Neither tool support nor communication is essential, as defects can be managed through adhoc processes.

Answer: C

Question 2

You are preparing the estimate for the test plan, which should cover all test activities subsequent to the plan having been agreed. Estimation of test activities has in the past been embarrassingly inaccurate. Historical data from previous similar projects is unreliable, but for two recent projects it is possible to find out how many test cases were developed and how long this took. Which TWO of the following estimation techniques will be BEST in this scenario?

A : Historical data extrapolation

B : Test case quantity / effort per test case

C : 3-point estimation

D : Wideband Delphi

E : Planning poker

Answer: B,C

Question 3

2.1 You are overseeing a large-scale software development project for a financial institution. The project has tight deadlines, and you need to ensure that the testing process is efficient and meets high-quality standards. Your goal is to use metrics to optimize the testing process and ensure all test objectives are met. Considering the need for efficiency and high quality in the financial sector, which of the following metrics would best help you assess the capability of the testing process and its alignment with the project's quality goals?

A : Number of test cases written, percentage of automated tests, test coverage, and number of defects found.

B : Test execution time, percentage of tests passed, average time to resolve defects, and customer satisfaction ratings.

C : Percentage of critical defects found, defect leakage rate, test case effectiveness, and alignment with financial compliance standards.

D : Number of tests executed, test case creation time, defect resolution time, and test team productivity.

Answer: C

Question 4

2.1.3 You are leading a large-scale software development project. Your team is in the middle of system integration testing and needs to ensure all product risks are adequately covered while monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of the testing process. During system integration testing, you notice that some tests have failed, and new defects have been introduced. Which combination of metrics would best help you assess the impact and manage the resolution of these issues?

A : Percentage of risks of which all tests passed, breakdown of defects by source, and test cost

B : Percentage of risks not yet completely tested, accumulated number of resolved defects, and residual risks for untested components

C : Percentage of risks of which some or all tests failed, breakdown of defects by priority/severity, and test execution status

D : Percentage of requirements covered by test cases, number of actual versus planned resource hours, and code coverage

Answer: C

Question 5

Your defect opened trend is converging to the closed trend but there is still a gap. What does that gap represent?

A : Defects that are projected but have not been found yet

B : Defects fixed but not yet closed

C : Defects that have resulted from regressions

D : Defects that will be introduced to production

Answer: B
