NEW QUESTION # 12
Assume that you are the Test Manager for a small insurance application development
project.
You have decided to adopt a risk-based testing strategy: 5 product risks (R1, R2, R3, R4,
R5) have been identified and their levels of risk have been assessed. 10 test cases (T1, ...,
T10) have been designed to cover all the product risks.
The following table shows the risk level and the test cases associated to the identified
product risks (higher risk level means higher risk):
You are not confident with the assessment of the risk level and you suspect that it will be
possible to find high-priority bugs in low-risk areas.
Furthermore the period for test execution is very short. Your goal is to test all the product
risks in a risk-based way, while assuring that each product risk gets at least some amount
of testing.
Which of the following answers describes the best test execution schedule in this scenario?

NEW QUESTION # 20
In the test strategy document your organization declares:
- To adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testinG. unit,
integration and system testing
- To use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of
testing
The following is an excerpt of the "approach" section for the system test plan document of a
new project:
"Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the
following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test
analysis and test design.
Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed
(passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected)."
In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.
Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?

NEW QUESTION # 24
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?
- A. Does the tool require a system with more than 4GB of RAM memory?
- B. What are the costs to qualify the tool as a verification tool under the DO-178B?
- C. Does the tool support all the types of code coverage required from the three levels A, B, C of the DO-178B standard?
- D. Is the installation procedure of the tool easy?
- E. Does the tool have a good general usability?
- F. Is the licensing scheme of the tool compatible with the confidentiality needs of the avionics company?

NEW QUESTION # 25
You tend to be conservative in your project estimations because you know how many things can go wrong and extend the schedule. You manager is not happy with your estimates and thinks you are being too negative with your numbers and not trying hard enough Which estimation method should you use to provide your manager with a positive' number while still also providing the number you think is more realistic?
- A. Planning poker
- B. Extrapolation
- C. Three-point estimation
- D. Wideband defphi
Answer: C
Explanation:
* Context Analysis:
* The manager perceives conservative estimates as overly negative. The goal is to balance optimism with realism to satisfy both the team and the manager.
* Three-point estimation provides a range of estimates: optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely, addressing the need for a positive yet realistic projection.
* Evaluation of Options:
* A. Wideband Delphi:
* Involves group-based estimation using consensus techniques. While reliable, it does not explicitly offer optimistic vs. realistic estimates.
* B. Planning Poker:
* Often used in Agile projects, this technique involves relative estimation but does not inherently provide optimistic and pessimistic figures.
* C. Three-point estimation:
* Correct. Combines optimistic, pessimistic, and realistic estimates to calculate a weighted average. This allows presentation of both realistic and "positive" numbers to the manager.
* D. Extrapolation:
* Based on past data trends but does not offer a range of estimates or a way to address manager concerns directly.
* Syllabus Alignment:The ISTQB syllabus mentions estimation methods like three-point estimation as effective techniques for providing balanced and transparent project timelines (TM-2.2.1).

Which of the following statements associated to the selection of the open-source tool is
correct in this scenario?
K2 1 credit
- A. The open-source tool can be modified but it can't be distributed further in any way
- B. There are no initial costs for the open-source tool but you should carefully consider the
costs associated to the integration with the existing tools and also evaluate the recurring
costs - C. There are no initial costs for the open-source tool because open-source tools are usually
low-quality, while vendor tools have always a better quality than the corresponding open-
source tools - D. The open-source tool can be modified but only if the community of developers of that
tool gives you the formal permission to modify it
Answer: B
