A project has been running for a few months and the team does not seem to be making progress in their test approach. The team also lacks drive and enthusiasm and is sometimes seen to be performing their tasks too slowly. You have been asked to recruit an extra person into the team. In addition to introducing the new team member, you have decided to raise motivation.
Which of the actions listed below would most likely result in the opposite, a de-motivation of the team?
Which of the following characteristics of risk-based techniques is not appropriate to a more heavyweight risk-based technique?
You are a test manager in charge of integration, system, and acceptance testing for a bank. You are working on a project to upgrade an existing ATM to allow customers to obtain cash advances from supported credit cards. The system should allow cash advances from €20 to €500 (both inclusive) for all supported credit cards. The supported credit cards are American Express, VISA, Eurocard, and Mastercard. The system should be easy to use for all users, including new users.
In the master test plan, the following items are listed in the section named "items and/or features to be tested":
I. All supported credit cards
II. Language localisation
III. Valid and invalid advances
IV. Usability
Assume that the project has now been completed, and the ATM system has been in use for just over two months. You are planning a retrospective meeting for the testing work performed.
Which of the following areas is most likely to be considered in this retrospective?
During which test planning task are the test design techniques to be applied during the project, identified and selected?
You are the only tester in an Agile team. The test policy states that only defects that need to be solved outside the team are documented. You are receiving complaints from developers from other teams that they do not receive sufficient defect information to be able to efficiently and effectively solve the defects. You have used the ISO 29119 standard to identify which attributes could be added to the current defect report template.
Which two of the following options would be best to add to the current defect report template to solve the current issue?
You have recently been employed as a test manager for a software company producing Human Resource (HR) systems… You have been asked to write a test strategy for the project and have chosen to implement a flexible and change-relatedreactive test strategy.
Which of the following would be an essential part of your test approach?
The stakeholders matrix is a strategic tool to be used by test managers and is composed of four quadrants.
Which quadrant is described by the following statements?
Typically do not have a strong interest in day-to-day tasks
Their decisions are critical for resource allocation and high-level project direction
Which of the following is not a key decision when defining a project test strategy?
Study the following characteristics:
Avoid re-inventing the wheel
Pool on experiences from earlier projects
They prompt thought in areas that are sometimes forgotten
Often used when compliance to specific standards is relevant
To which risk identification technique do these characteristics relate?
Management is sceptical regarding the budget request (€25,000) for the next testing project. You are asked for a cost-benefit calculation. Based on historical data from several projects, you have come up with the following numbers:
Average prevention cost per defect: €200
Average cost of detection per defect: €400
Average cost of internal failure: €150
Average cost of external failure: €2,500
Expected number of defects to be found in this project during testing: 50
What is the result for the expected cost-benefit calculation for the upcoming project?
The diagram below shows an incomplete defect management process, where three states (states X, Y and Z) have yet to be named appropriately.
Which of the following labels would correctly complete the process?

You are working as a test manager at a company that develops software applications for the mobile domain. The organisation has recently been assessed against TMMi. This assessment showed that the company is a TMMi level 1 organisation. The projects use the V-model lifecycle and an independent test team exists. The test team consists of both experienced and novice testers. The team has not yet been formally trained in testing, but an ISTQB Foundation course is scheduled to take place in two months.
In your role as a test manager working in the independent test team, you have recently performed a risk assessment for a mobile software application to be developed. You want the features that have been identified as major risks to be tested more thoroughly.
Which test practice would you propose to mitigate the identified major product risks?
