1. The whole-team approach:

promotes the idea that all team members should have a thorough understanding of test techniques

is a consensus-based approach that engages the whole team in estimating the user stories

promotes the idea that all team members should be responsible for the quality of the product

is mostly adopted in projects aimed at developing safety-critical systems, as it ensures the highest level of testing independence

2. A test manager decided to skip static testing since he believes bugs can be found easily by doing dynamic testing. Was this decision right or wrong?

The decision was wrong. Ensuring quality mandates that static testing is performed after performing the dynamic testing.

The decision was right. Static testing is usually redundant if a product is planned to go through a full-cycle of dynamic testing.

The decision was right. Most of the bugs are easier to identify during the dynamic testing.

The decision was wrong. Static testing can find defects early in the development process, reducing the overall cost of testing and development

3. A typical test objective is to:

determine the most appropriate level of detail with which to design test cases

verify the compliance of the test object with regulatory requirements

plan test activities in accordance with the existing test policy and test strategy verify the correct creation and configuration of the test environment

4. Which of the following statements is true?

In Agile software development, work product documentation tends to be lightweight and manual tests tend to be often unscripted as they are often produced using experience-based test techniques

Sequential development models impose the use of systematic test techniques and do not allow the use of experience-based test techniques

In Agile software development, the first iterations are exclusively dedicated to testing activities, as testing will be used to drive development, which will be performed in the subsequent iterations

Both in Agile software development and in sequential development models, such as the V-model, test levels tend to overlap since they do not usually have defined entry and exit criteria

5. Which of the following statements refers to good testing practice to be applied regardless of the chosen software development model?

Tests should be written in executable format before the code is written and should act as executable specifications that drive coding

Test levels should be defined such that the exit criteria of one level are part of the entry criteria for the next level

Test objectives should be the same for all test levels, although the number of tests designed at various levels can vary significantly

Involvement of testers in work product reviews should occur as early as possible to take advantage of the early testing principle

6. A company runs a pilot project for evaluation of a test automation tool.

Which of the following is NOT a valid object of this pilot project?

Get familiar with the functionality and options of the tool

Check haw the tool fits to the existing test processes

Train all testers on using the tool

Decide upon standards for tool implementation

7. Which of the following lists factors That contribute to PROJECT risks?

skill and staff shortages; problems in defining the right requirements, contractual issues.

4. Acceptance testing

An organization wants to do away with integration testing but otherwise follow V-model.

Which of the following statements is correct?

It is allowed as organizations can decide on men test levels to do depending on the context of the system under test

It is allowed because integration testing is not an important test level arc! can be dispensed with.

It is not allowed because integration testing is a very important test level and ignoring i: means definite poor product quality

It is not allowed as organizations can't change the test levels as these are chosen on the basis of the SDLC (software development life cycle) model

10. Which of the following is not an example of a typical content of a test completion report for a test project?

The additional effort spent on test execution compared to what was planned

The unexpected test environment downtime that resulted in slower test execution

The residual risk level if a risk-based test approach was adopted

The test procedures of all test cases that have been executed

11. A software company decides to invest in reviews of various types. The thought process they have is that each artifact needs to be reviewed using only one of the review methods depending on the criticality of the artifact.

The thought process is incorrect. The whole company should adopt same standard for review of all artifacts.

The thought process is correct. The whole company should decide or the review method based on their CMM level.

The thought process is incorrect. Same artifact can be reviewed using different review methods

The thought process is correct. It wastes time to review same artifact using efferent review methods

12. The following rules determine the annual bonus to be paid to a salesman of a company based on the total annual amount of the sales made (referred to as TAS).

If the TAS is between 50k and 80k, the bonus is 10%. If the TAS exceeds 80k by a value not greater than 40k, the bonus is 15%. Finally, if the TAS

exceeds the maximum threshold which entitles to a 15% bonus, the bonus is 22%.

Consider applying equivalence partitioning to the TAS (Note: 1k = 1000 euros).

Which one of the following answers contain only test cases that belong to the same equivalence partition?

TC1 = 81 k; TC2= 97k; TC3=111k; TC4=118k

TC1 = 40k; TC2= 46k; TC3=51k; TC4=53k

TC1 = 79k; TC2= 80k; TC3=81k; TC4=82k

TC1 = 90k; TC2= 110k; TC3=125k: TC4=140k

13. Mark the correct sentences:

14. Which of the following is an advantage of the whole team approach?

It helps avoid the risk of tasks associated with a user story not moving through the Agile task board at an acceptable rate during an iteration

It helps team members understand the current status of an iteration by visualizing the amount of work left to do compared to the time allotted for the iteration

It helps the whole team be more effective in test case design by requiring all team members to master all types of test techniques

It helps team members develop better relationships with each other and make their collaboration more effective for the benefit of the project

15. Which of the following statements about the shift-left approach is true?

Shift-left in testing can be implemented only in Agile/DevOps frameworks, as it relies completely on automated testing activities performed within a continuous integration process

Performance testing performed during component testing, is a form of shift-left in testing that avoids planning and executing costly end-to-end testing at the system test level in a production-like environment

Shift-left in testing can be implemented in several ways to find functional defects early in the lifecycle, but it cannot be relied upon to find defects associated with non-functional characteristics

Continuous integration supports shift-left in testing as it can reduce the time between the introduction of a defect and its detection, thereby reducing the cost to fix it

16. Which of the following statements about estimation of the test effort is WRONG?

Once the test effort is estimated, resources can be identified and a schedule can be drawn up.

Effort estimate can be inaccurate because the quality of the product under tests is not known.

Effort estimate depends on the budget of the project.

Experience based estimation is one of the estimation techniques.

17. In addition to thorough testing of the requirements specification, a development team aims to involve users as early as possible in the development process, using practices such as prototyping, to ensure that the software systems being developed will meet the users’ expectations.

This approach is especially useful at mitigating the risks associated with one of the seven testing principles, which one?

Tests wear out

Absence-of-errors fallacy

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Defects cluster together

-99; 99:101; 1001

-1000; -100; 100; 1000

20. Can "cost" be regarded as Exit criteria?

Yes. Spending too much money on test ng will result in an unprofitable product, and having cost as an exit criterion helps avoid this

No. The financial value of product quality cannot be estimated, so it is incorrect to use cost as an exit criterion

Yes. Going by cost as an exit criterion constrains the testing project which will hello achieve the desired quality level defined for the project

No The cost of testing cannot be measured effectively, so it is incorrect to use cost as an exit criterion

21. Which of the following work products cannot be examined by static analysis?

Test plans

Source code

Compiled code

Formal models

22. A Test Manager conducts risk assessment for a project. One of the identified risks is: The sub-contractor may fail to meet his commitment". If this risk materializes. it will lead to delay in completion of testing required for the current cycle.

35. A system has a self-diagnostics module that starts executing after the system is reset. The diagnostics are running 12 different tests on the systems memory hardware.

The following is one of the requirements set for the diagnostics module:

'The time taking the diagnostics tests to execute shall be less than 2 seconds'

Which of the following is a failure related to the specified requirement?

The diagnostic tests fail to start after a system reset

The diagnostic tests take too much time to execute

The diagnostic tests that measure the speed of the memory, fail

36. Consider the following user story about the authentication functionality of an e-commerce website:

"As a logged-in user, I want to change my current password with a new one, so that I can make my account safer".

The following are some of the acceptance criteria defined for the user story:

[a] After the logged-in user has successfully changed his password, an email confirming the change must be sent to him

[b] To successfully change the password, the logged-in user must enter the current password, enter a new valid password, and finally confirm by pressing the 'Change Password' button

[c] To be valid, the new password entered by the logged-in user is not only required to meet the criteria related to the length and type of characters, but must also be different form the last 5 passwords of that user

[d] A dedicated error message must be presented to the logged-in user when he enters a wrong current password

[e] A dedicated error message must be presented to the logged-in user when he enters the correct current password, but enters an invalid password

37. Which of the following statements is true?

Experience-based test techniques rely on the experience of testers to identify the root causes of defects found by black-box test techniques

Some of the most common test basis used by white-box test techniques include user stories, use cases and business processes

Experience-based test techniques are often useful to detect hidden defects that have not been targeted by black-box test techniques

The primary goal of experience-based test techniques is to design test cases that can be easily automated using a GUI-based test automation tool

38. Which of the following statements about white-box test techniques is true?

Achieving full statement coverage and full branch coverage for a software product means that such software product has been fully tested and there are no remaining bugs within the code

Code-related white-box test techniques are not required to measure the actual code coverage achieved by black-box testing, as code coverage can be measured using the coverage criteria associated with black-box test techniques

Branch coverage is the most thorough code-related white-box test technique, and therefore applicable standards prescribe achieving full branch coverage at the highest safety levels for safety-critical systems

Code-related white-box test techniques provide an objective measure of coverage and can be used to complement black-box test techniques to increase confidence in the code

39. Consider the following simplified version of a state transition diagram that specifies the behavior of a video poker game:
