The teams are two days away from the end of the current iteration. The rate at which users have been reporting defects has been trending upward in the last few weeks and so far during this latest iteration has shown another increase.
The scrum master of the team responsible for most defects has asked you for ideas about how to perform the next retrospective in order to learn the appropriate lessons.
You have suggested that they should provide the retrospective meeting with a breakdown, by nature and severity, of the defects relevant to that team.
Assuming that this is done, which next three steps of the retrospective will be MOST effective?
You are Test Manager for a project which is in the Test Implementation stage for the first planned iteration, creation of the initial Test Cases and required test data is progressing well.
The Test Strategy documents the Stakeholders view that small teams should collaborate together to create and test functionality which is to be released in iterations, with each release building on the success of the last.
Stakeholders are willing to accept the risks of a partly working system in the early stages. Delivery of working functionality (particularly around interfaces to third party systems and performance of back end databases) is the priority for the early releases.

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]

An old stock control system is being decommissioned and replaced with a new system that has been running successfully in the live environment for the last few months. The stakeholders would like to -
• retain historical information held in the database to comply with their data retention policy (which requires order information to be retained for 7 years)
• query the historical information by running pre-written SQL queries.
• all commands must be invoked by keyboard as one of the end users is unable to use a mouse
The pre-written SQL queries will be designed, developed and tested by the developers who are decommissioning the system and writing the data migration routine.
As the system to be decommissioned is integrated to other systems that will remain operational, the stakeholders have requested that testing incorporates all systems that are part of the stock control suite.
The stakeholders and project manager have identified the following risks, in priority order -
• 1st - Data has not been successfully migrated to an archived data store, resulting in the inability to query past stock levels and re-order details.
• 2nd - Historical data for the last 7 years is unavailable, resulting in the failure to meet the data retention policy.
• 3rd - Failure of existing systems within the stock control suite, adversely affecting the operational running of the business
The risks are to form the basis of the test objectives. Which three of the following test activities, work products and/or resources achieves the test objectives?
a. Use of the live database to test the data migration does not corrupt or lose data
b. A test plan detailing the test approach for ST. SIT & OT test levels
c. Accessibility testing of the pre-defined SQL queries
d. Security and Penetration testing of the archived database
e Performance testing of the data migration exercise to ensure it completes in the time specified by the stakeholders
f. Functional testing of the pre-defined SQL queries
g. Regression testing of the end to end process for maintaining specified stock levels.

You are Test Manager working on a project which is improving the user interface for its call centre staff handling customer enquiries. The project has completed UAT for the first iteration; however a large number of defects were raised by call centre staff seconded to help with the User Acceptance testing.
The defects described the user interface as not being intuitive enough with a poor 'help' facility. A user representative spent a week working with developers and system testers to explain the issues, which were subsequently agreed to have resulted from poorly specified usability requirements.
The requirements were defined separately for each iteration and have been formally reviewed by business analysts, developers and the IT director.
The user representative was also able to answer a number of other questions that the system test team had regarding call centre workflows, which improved their domain knowledge.
You have been asked to conduct a project retrospective and recommend improvements for the next iteration which introduces further user interface changes. Which of the following would be the MOST effective improvement for the next iteration?
