In general, why is it NOT a good idea to estimate the testing effort based only on a percentage of development effort? Identify THREE valid reasons. 1 credit

• A. The maturity of the organization, e.g. the quality of the test basis, quality of development testing, configuration management, availability of test tools, also influence the effort needed for testing.
• B. The percentage based technique only applies to the V life cycle model.
• C. Using the same percentage every time does not address the level of risk of the application to be tested.
• D. In general bottom-up estimation is always better than top-down estimation.
• E. It builds on large set of historical data
• F. The result is almost always a too low estimate for the required test effort
• G. The quality of the development estimate may be poor.

Part of the testing strategy indicates that you are going to be using systematic test design techniques. Your manager has asked that you present the main advantages of using these techniques at the next board meeting. Identify THREE main benefits of using systematic test design techniques within this company. 2 credits (for 2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)

• A. Will make non-systematic testing redundant
• B. Targets certain types of faults
• C. Will reduce the need for early reviews
• D. Easier to quickly adapt testing to changing requirements compared to experienced-based testing
• E. More enhanced documentation and therefore higher repeatability and reproducibility
• F. Will guide experienced testers to find defects
• G. Provides a way to differentiate depth of testing based on product risks by using different techniques

Which of the following would be the TWO most appropriate examples of entry criteria documented in the system integration test plan? 2 credits

• B. The percentage of decision coverage achieved during unit testing.
• C. The percentage of acceptance test procedures scheduled for execution.
• D. The sign-off of a performance test software release note (test item transmittal report) by both development and testing showing that system performance meets the specified acceptance criteria.
• E. The percentage of requirements coverage achieved during system integration test.

Which THREE activities would be valid steps during the development of the test strategy?2 credits (2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)

• B. Define a master test plan template
• C. Identify test staff members that will be involved in the system test
• D. Perform a project risk analysis
• E. Assess the testing that needs to be done to minimize the risks
• F. Understand the software development life cycle used by the software house
• G. Issue the test strategy document for review

Which test management control option is most appropriate to adopt under these circumstances? 2 credits

• A. Reconsider the exit criteria and review the test plan in the context of the current situation.
• B. Arrange a meeting with the user community representatives to discuss the user interface.
• C. Advise the user community regarding the reduced scope of requirements and the additional incremental delivery.
• D. Introduce mandatory evening and weekend working to retrieve the 3 week slippage.
