Questions 5

You are the Test Manager on a new project. The schedule is aggressive and will require the team to work at peak efficiency. The requirements are not well defined yet, but it is clear that the

project will be using new technologies. To help the developers meet the development schedule, an offshore group will be added to the development team.

At this time there is not enough budget to add more testing resources. The project stakeholders are very concerned about the quality of delivered product and will be watching the project closely,

particularly during the testing cycles. The exit criteria from the system test level require no open high priority/severity defects, 100% pass rate for all test cases covering risks that are classified as

"high" or "very high", 90% pass rate for all "medium" risks and 50% pass rate for all "low" and "very low" risks.

Given this information, which lifecycle model should you recommend?[3]

Options:

A.

Spiral

B.

Iterative/incremental

C.

V-model

D.

Waterfall

Questions 11

You are the Test Manager for a new product that is being developed according to an iterative lifecycle. At this point, you have 100% of your smoke tests automated, 20%

of your functional tests and 50% of your regression tests. Your iterations are four weeks long. You are finding that with each iteration significant maintenance is required

for your automated tests and you are not able to complete the testing within the planned timeframe. The test plan you created at the beginning of the project indicates

that all automated tests should be run before any manual tests.

Which of the following is a reasonable change to this plan based on how the project is going? [2]

Options:

A.

Continue to run all the automation first, performing whatever maintenance is needed and then transfer testing resources from manual testing to increase the

automation coverage.

B.

Run the manual tests first and maintain the automation as time allows.

C.

Continue to run the automated smoke tests first, execute the automated regression test and new manual functional tests in parallel, and discontinue

automating any new functional test cases.

D.

Run the automated regression tests first then proceed with the manual and automated functional tests, discontinuing the automated smoke.
