Assume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerce application.The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability is provided through a set of web services.The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service Level Agreements) like the following:SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five seconds under a load of up-to 5000 concurrent usersThe main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specification document will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testing strategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count on a well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior under various load levels produced by the system architect.Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones to achieve the test objectives in this scenario?  Perform unit performance testing for each single web service  Monitor the SLAs after the system has been released into the production environment  Perform system performance testing, consisting of several performance testing sessions, to verify if all the SLAs have been met  Perform static performance testing by reviewing the architectural model of the system under various load levels Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Q42. For which of the following activities would the costs be classified as a cost of detection?  Writing test specifications according to the test design  Training developers to better understand the new features of the coding language they will use on the project  Re-running a test case, during the system testing phase, to verify that a fix eliminates a previously found defect  Fixing field failures Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Q43. You are the Test Manager for a project to develop a web customer portal of a Pay-TV company that allows customers (with a smartcard and a set-top box) to purchase digital contents.In the “select” page the system displays a dialogue where the customer can select the items (digital contents) he/she is interested in. In this page he/she can add one or more items to a shopping cart. An item consists of a product and a duration.There are three types of products: Movie, sport and premium (movie and sport).There are four possible durations: 1 months, 2 months, winter (from the beginning of January to end of March) and summer (from the beginning of July to end of September).All the combinations of products and durations are allowed to define an item. Thus there are twelve possible items. A maximum of six different items can be added to the shopping cart at a time.When the customer decides to check out he/she goes to the “purchase” page where he/she can pay the total amount of the shopping cart in three different ways:– using a credit voucher– using a credit already charged on the smartcard– using a credit card (accepted credit cards are. Visa, MasterCard and Great Wall Card) The customer can logout from both the “select” and “purchase” pages. In this case no purchase is made.You decide to apply a blended risk-based and reactive testing strategy and the following is a subset of the exit criteria for system testing:EXCR1- Each “critical” quality risk item must be covered by at least one test condition EXCR2- Each “critical” requirement must be covered by at least one test condition You are following a risk-based testing strategy. The test execution time is very limited. Assume that all the product risk items require more or less the same level of test effort.Which of the following answers describes the best execution schedule in this scenario?  1- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel2- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents3- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card4- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card  1- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card2- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents3- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel  1- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card2- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card3- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel  1- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card 2- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card3- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel Section: Testing ProcessExplanation/Reference:Q44. Assume you are working on a CAS (Conditional Access System) for Pay-TV that allows the access, selection and transfer of services and media to authorized users. Authorized users can choose their services through different channels: Web Customer Portal, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), Call Centre and SMS. The system uses a Smart Card to receive and decrypt the broadcasted encrypted control words which allow decrypting pay- per-view TV. Every authorized user must have a Smart Card and a Set-Top Box to view the contents.The following is an excerpt from the product risk analysis document:Both likelihood and impact have been rated on the following scale: (1 – Very low, 2 – Low, 3 – Medium, 4 – High, 5 – Very High).The required test environment and code have been delivered. All test cases for each identified product risk item have been written and are ready to be executed. The Database used to contain the Smart Cards is empty and so only new Smart Cards can be used during test execution.A Smart Card can only be activated if it has been previously pre-activated. This means the post-conditions for the execution of the test cases to test the pre-activation of the Smart Card are the pre-conditions for activation of the Smart Card.Which of the following statements represents the most effective contribution of the stakeholders to the completion of the failure mode analysis table?  The aircraft pilot and the customer representative should contribute to assess the detection. The chief software engineer, the system architect and the expert tester should contribute to assess the priority.  The aircraft pilot and the customer representative should contribute to assess the priority. The chief software engineer, the system architect and the expert tester should contribute to assess the detection.  The system architect and the chief software engineer should contribute to assess the priority. The expert tester is the only one who should contribute to assess the detection.  The aircraft pilot is the only one qualified to contribute to assess the priority and thus should be assigned this task. The customer representative should contribute to assess the detection. Section: Testing ProcessExplanation/Reference:Q45. Assume you are working on a defect management process to be used by a software organization to track the current status of the defects reports for several projects.When a defect is found for investigation a defect report is created in “Opened” state that is the unique initial state. The defect report status has also a unique finale state that is the “Closed” state.The following state transition diagram describes the states of this defect management process:Where only the initial (“Opened”) and final (“Closed”) states are indicated while the remaining states (V, W, X, Y, Z) have yet to be named.Which of the following assignments would you expect to best complete the defect management process?  V=Rejected , W=Corrected , X=Validated, Y=Re-Opened, Z=Assigned  V=Assigned, W=Validated , X=Corrected, Y=Re-Opened, Z=Rejected  V=Assigned, W=Corrected , X=Validated, Y=Re-Opened, Z=Rejected  V= Corrected, W=Assigned, X=Validated, Y=Corrected, Z=Rejected Section: Defect ManagementExplanation/Reference:Q46. Which of the following factors could negatively influence a review?  Include people with the adequate level of knowledge, both technical and procedural  Include people who are detail-oriented and scrupulous at finding issues  Include as many people as possible in order to have more viewpoints about possible problems on the item under review  Include people able to contribute to a clear, thoughtful, constructive and objective discussion Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Q47. During the system testing phase a tester from your test team observes a failure in thesystem under test and he/she decides to create an incident report. The incident report iscurrently in a “new” state, indicating it needs to be investigated.Which THREE of the following information items can’t yet be present in the incident report?K3 2 credits (2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)  The type of defect that caused the failure  The actual and the expected result highlighting the failure  The lifecycle phase in which the defect has been introduced  What really caused the failure (actual cause)  Steps to reproduce the failure, including screenshots, database dumps and logs whereapplicable Q48. You are performing a quality risk analysis for a CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item) used to implement a CBIT (Continuous Built-In Test) module of a safety-critical system.During the quality risk analysis you are trying to identify the ways in which failures of the CBIT module can occur, for each of them trying to determine the potential causes and likely effects, and the risk level (calculated as the product of three factors: severity, occurrence and detection).Which of the following risk analysis techniques are you working with?  A lightweight product risk analysis technique  Failure Mode and Effect Analysis  Wide Band Delphi  Cost of Exposure Section: Test ManagementExplanation/Reference:Q49. Consider an information system of a Pay-Tv company based on a SOA architecture.The integrated system currently consists of three core systems:– a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system– a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system– a CAS (Conditional Access System) system all of them communicating with SOAMiddleware.You have been asked to manage the testing activities for the integration of two additionaloff-the-shelf systems from two different vendors: a SMS (Short Message Service) serverand an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system.Assume that there is a high likelihood that the two off-the-shelf systems will be low-qualityand that you have a clear proof that the testing performed by the two vendors on theirsystems has been unsystematic and unprofessional. This obviously leads to higher qualityrisk for the overall integrated system.You are the Test Manager of this project. Your main goal is to plan for testing activities tomitigate this risk.Which of the following answers best describes the test activities (assuming it is possible toperform all of them) you should plan for?K4 3 credits  You should plan for an informal and minimal acceptance test of the two off-the-shelfsystems and then a single end-to-end test of the overall integrated system  You should directly plan for a single end-to-end test focused on end-to-end tests of theoverall integrated system without an acceptance test of the two off-the-shelf systems  You should plan for two levels: a system integration test and an end-to-end test of theoverall integrated system  You should plan for adequate re-testing of both the systems followed by a systemintegration test and an end-to-end test of the overall integrated system Q50. During the follow-up phase the following conditions are checked:X1. The code has been completely reviewedX2. All the identified defects have been correctly fixed and the modified code has been compiled successfully and run through all the static analyzers used by the project without warnings and errors X3. The modified code is available under the configuration management system with a new version number for the specified CIIf these conditions are fulfilled then the review process terminates.Which of the following characteristics of a formal review is missing in this description?  Defined entry and exit criteria  Checklists to be used by the reviewers  Deliverables such as reports, evaluation sheets or other review summary sheets  Metrics for reporting on the review effectiveness, efficiency, and progress Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Q51. In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of aproject you are working on as Test Manager.You have identified as one of the main project risks, that the requirements specification willstill be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase.Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test preparation.You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the sameorganization.Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at mitigatingthis risk?K4 3 credits  Don’t prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the newfeatures don’t introduce regression  Make reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight teststhat can be easily updated during test execution  Don’t design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that testexecution is blocked due to incomplete requirements  Even if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project managerwithout preparing any tests Q52. After the presentation, you are asked to explain the chart.Assume you have applied a full risk-based testing strategy.Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the pie chart?K4 3 credits  All the risk items have been covered with tests. No more risk items remain to test  According to the full risk-based testing strategy applied, it is very likely that the highest-risk items, tests and bugs remain in the blue and red areas. Therefore, it is very risky torelease the application  Only the lowest-risk items, tests and bugs should remain in the blue and red areas.Therefore the application can be released at any time subject to management of the itemsidentified in those areas  97 percent of the risk items has been tested. No open bugs or test failures remain. Only3 percent of risk items remains to be covered by the remaining test Q53. You are estimating the effort for the integration testing activities of a new project. Consider the following factors, which can affect that estimation:I.

Many and geographically distributed sub-teamsWhich of the following statements is true?  I and II. can negatively affect the estimation III. and IV. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort  II. and III. can negatively affect the estimation  and IV. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort  II. and IV. can negatively affect the estimation  and III. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort  III. and IV. can negatively affect the estimation  and II. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Q54. Assume you are the Test Manager in charge of independent testing for avionics applications.You are in charge of testing for a project to implement three different CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item):– a BOOT-X CSCI that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard– a DIAG-X CSCI that must be certified at level C of the DO-178B standard– a DRIV-X CSCI that must be certified at level A of the DO-178B standard These are three different software modules written in C language to run on a specific hardware platform.You have been asked to select a single code coverage tool to perform the mandatory code coverage measurements, in order to meet the structural coverage criteria prescribed by the DO-178B standard. This tool must be qualified as a verification tool under DO-178B.Since there are significant budget constraints to purchase this tool, you are evaluating an open-source tool that is able to provide different types of code coverage. This tool meets perfectly your technical needs in terms of the programming language and the specific hardware platform (it supports also the specific C-compiler).The source code of the tool is available.Your team could easily customize the tool to meet the project needs. This tool is not qualified as a verification tool under the DO-178B.Which of the following are the three main concerns related to that open-source tool selection?  Does the tool support all the types of code coverage required from the three levels A, B, C of the DO-178B standard?  Does the tool have a good general usability?  What are the costs to qualify the tool as a verification tool under the DO-178B?  Is the installation procedure of the tool easy?  Does the tool require a system with more than 4GB of RAM memory?  Is the licensing scheme of the tool compatible with the confidentiality needs of the avionics company? Section: Test Tools and AutomationExplanation/Reference:Q55. You are the Test Manager of a project that adopts a V-model with four formal levels oftestinG. unit, integration, system and acceptance testing.On this project reviews have been conducted for each development phase prior to testing,which is to say that reviews of requirements, functional specification, high-level design, low-level design and code have been performed prior to testing.Assume that no requirements defects have been reported after the release of the product.Which TWO of the following metrics do you need in order to evaluate the requirementsreviews in terms of phase containment effectiveness?K3 2 credits  Number of defects found during the requirements review  Total number of defects attributable to requirements found during unit, integration,system and acceptance testing  Total number of defects found during functional specification review, high-level designreview, low-level design review, code review, unit testing, integration testing, system testingand acceptance testing  Time to conduct the requirements review  Total number of defects attributable to requirements, found during functionalspecification review, high-level design review, low-level design review, code review, unittesting, integration testing, system testing and acceptance testing Q56. Which of the following information would you expect to be the most useful to perform adefect clustering analysis?K2 1 credit  The trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution  The defect component information  The lifecycle phase in which the defect has been introduced  The defect removal efficiency information Q57. After a selection process you have selected a test management tool that is going beintroduced in your organization and used by your test team in a pilot project.You have already identified the member of your test team who will be the administrator ofthe tool, since he/she has a significant experience with the administration of testmanagement tools and so he/she is able to make effective and efficient up-front decisionsabout “how” the tool will be used. You have also developed a training plan for the othermembers of your test team.In collaboration with the administrator of the tool you have also devised standard ways ofmanaging, storing and maintaining the tool and its assets including backup/restoreprocedures.You have also analyzed standard formats supported by the tool (CSV, XLS, XML, etc.) toexport, import and archive all the information managed by the tool itself (requirements, testcase specifications, test plans etc.) for compliance with the most important testmanagement tools, in order to minimize the impacts of migrating this information to a newtool that could replace the existing one in the future.Which of the following phases in the lifecycle of the new tool has NOT been adequatelyconsidered in this description?K2 1 credit  Acquisition  Support and maintenance  Evolution  Retirement Q58. You are the Test Manager of a new project aimed at developing a software system that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard. The project will follow a V-Model software development life cycle and it will have four formal levels of testing: component, integration, system and acceptance testing.You must produce the test plan documentation for this project by providing an adequate coordination across the four levels of testing in order to assure audit ability.Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe how to organize the test plan?  Produce a single master test plan that covers in detail all four levels, describing the particular activities for all test levels  Produce a master test plan that covers three levels (component, integration, system test) and a separate acceptance test plan  Produce a master test plan describing the relationship between the four levels, and four separate detailed level test plans, one for each level  Produce four separate detailed level test plans, one for each level, without a master test plan Section: Test ManagementExplanation/Reference:Q59. Based on the historical data of 5 past and similar projects, you have calculated theseaverage numbers of defects detected in system testinG.– For each 10000 LOC (lines of code), 200 defects– For each person-month of development team effort, 49 defectsYou want to use this information to perform estimation for a new project.The project manager tells you that he/she has estimated 20000 new LOC for this newproject.Four developers work for four months on this project before system testing.During system testing, 797 defects are discovered.Assume that the system test of this new project is using the same amount of work as spentin the past projects.Based on this information only, which of the following statement is certainly true about thisproject?K3 3 credits  The code for the new project contains a higher defect density than the code of the pastprojects  The number of defects found during the system test phase on the new project isapproximately proportional to the development team effort  40000 LOC have been delivered to system testing (against the 20000 LOC planned bythe project manager)  More LOC than planned have been delivered to system testing with a higher defectdensity than the past projects Q60. You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features.There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birth date, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password.A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department.Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console.You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA.Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis?  The late delivery of the authentication feature to the test team causes delays in the start of test execution and this could result in a shorter test period  The authentication system denies access for a special user with a wrong password, but doesn’t display a special warning on the system console  The authentication system grants access to a normal user with a wrong password  The authentication system grants access to a special user with a wrong password Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Q61. The following are the exit criteria described in the test plan of a software product:EX1. The test suite for the product must ensure that at least each quality risk item is covered by at least one test case (a quality risk item can be covered by more test cases).EX2. All test cases in the test suite must be run during the execution phase.EX3. Defects are classified into two categories: “C” (critical defect) and “NC” (non-critical defect). No known C defects shall exist in the product at the end of the test execution phase.Which of the following information is useless when the specified exit criteria is evaluated?  A traceability matrix showing the relationships between the product risk items and the test cases  A list of all the open defects with the associated classification information extracted from the defect tracking system  A chart, showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution, extracted from the defect tracking system  The execution status of all the test cases extracted from the test management tool Section: Testing ProcessExplanation/Reference: Loading … Pass ATM exam Updated 64 Questions: https://www.vceprep.com/ATM-latest-vce-prep.html --------------------------------------------------- Images: https://certify.vceprep.com/wp-content/plugins/watu/loading.gif https://certify.vceprep.com/wp-content/plugins/watu/loading.gif --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2024-04-10 14:14:28 Post date GMT: 2024-04-10 14:14:28 Post modified date: 2024-04-10 14:14:28 Post modified date GMT: 2024-04-10 14:14:28
