Question 1

1.3.2 During a risk workshop for the e-commerce platform project, you notice that the quality risks related to the payment gateway integration have not been thoroughly addressed. How should the Test Manager ensure comprehensive risk identification in this area?

A : Rely on past experience to fill in the gaps and move forward with the risk identification process

B : Schedule a follow-up workshop specifically focused on the payment gateway integration, involving key stakeholders such as payment gateway vendors, security experts, and financial analysts

C : Add generic payment gateway risks from a checklist to the risk register and proceed with planning

D : Ask the development team to provide additional risks based on their implementation plans

Answer: B

Question 2

You have done a comprehensive risk analysis. You have involved the appropriate people in assessing the risks and determining the likelihood and impact of those risks. You have been testing for three months and have been able to mitigate 75% of the high risk items. You have two weeks left in testing and you now do not expect to be able to complete all the items on the high-risk mitigation list, never mind any from the medium or low-risk lists. What is the most effective action you should take?

A : Use a random selection algorithm to pick tests from the high, medium, and low risk mitigation lists - thereby ensuring that each risk list has some mitigation.

B : Present your risk mitigation progress and project status to the project's stakeholders, and request additional time or assistance in re-prioritizing the remaining high-risk items.

C : Concentrate testing in areas that have already found numerous problems.

D : Retest the highest risk areas to ensure no regressions have occurred.

Answer: B

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

Which of the following can demotivate a tester?

A : Receiving direct and honest feedback on areas to improve

B : Working extra hours, resulting in a successful product deployment

C : When metrics indicate weaknesses in their testing
