Question 1

1.5.2 Describe the structure and purpose of TMMi® and TPI NEXT® models and explain how they support test process improvement. Discuss the significance of maturity levels and key areas in these models.

A : TMMi® and TPI NEXT® both provide a linear pathway for improvement, with TMMi® focusing on agile methodologies and TPI NEXT® focusing on waterfall methodologies. The maturity levels in both models represent sequential steps that must be followed strictly, and the key areas are checkpoints that indicate completion of each step.

B : TMMi® and TPI NEXT® models both support test process improvement through structured frameworks. TMMi® has five maturity levels, each with specific test process areas and goals, while TPI NEXT® defines 16 key areas with four maturity levels each. These maturity levels and key areas help organizations assess their current processes and plan targeted improvements, visualized in a maturity matrix.

C : TMMi® and TPI NEXT® are designed to work only at the organizational level and require complete adherence to all practices and sub-practices outlined. Maturity levels indicate the number of years an organization has been using the model, and key areas are department-specific improvements.

D : TMMi® and TPI NEXT® are primarily used to audit testing processes. The maturity levels in TMMi® relate to the financial investment in testing, while TPI NEXT® key areas are focused on compliance with industry standards. Both models emphasize regulatory compliance over practical improvements.

Answer: B

Question 2

3.1 In a scenario where a test team lacks expertise in performance testing, what strategy should the test manager employ to address this gap?

A : Reduce the scope of testing to exclude performance testing

B : Provide internal training to team members to develop performance testing skills

C : Replace current team members with new hires who have performance testing experience

D : Assign performance testing tasks to the development team

Answer: B

Question 3

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 4

Assuming that 'In progress' means that somebody is working on a fix and that 'Resolved' means that the fix passed the confirmation test; which option provides a defect workflow that flows in a sensible way from an initial state to a terminal state?

B : New, Under Investigation, In progress, Re-test, Resolved, Closed, Deferred

C : In progress, Under Investigation, Deferred, Retest, Resolved, Closed

D : New, under investigation, Deferred, In progress, Re-test, Resolved, Closed

Answer: D

Question 5

Given this information, what is the most appropriate test approach?

A : Model-based and white-box

B : Experience-based and black-box

C : Risk-based and non-functional
