NO.15 You are a test manager managing a test team and working at a government agency. The test team is responsible for performing the system test. Senior management has been provided with the following test objective for a new project:
“The system should be of high quality.”
Using the SMART goal methodology, which of the following statements would be appropriate as a revision to the defined test objective by management?

NO.16 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

NO.17 Ability to act with confidence is an important skill for a person to perform successfully in a project or team.
To which area of competence does “ability to act with confidence” belong?

NO.18 You have been contracted to manage the user acceptance testing of a new reservation system for a travel agency. The reservation system is being developed by a third party. Detailed specifications are available, and an estimate of the total development effort exists. The system will be delivered in four agreed increments.
Which of the following estimation techniques would be most appropriate to use in this context?

NO.19 Which of the following is not something you should do when performing a Belbin assessment with an Agile team?

NO.20 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?

NO.21 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?

NO.22 Factors that are important to take into account when performing test estimation include:
i. The quality of the test basis
ii. The availability of test automation
iii. The amount of rework required
iv. The distribution of testing across several locations
The various factors can be grouped by characteristic. Examples of characteristics include:

NO.23 Which status would typically be assigned to a false-positive defect report during defect management?

NO.24 You are a test consultant involved in setting up and implementing retrospectives in an organisation that is developing software based on an Agile lifecycle. The Agile teams are experiencing problems on product quality, so the retrospectives will be specifically focused on the testing practices and processes.
Which of the following is an example of a good practice for a test retrospective?

NO.25 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?

NO.26 Which of the following test stakeholders are most likely not involved in defining requirements?

NO.27 Three exit criteria have been defined for a project:

NO.28 Analytical test improvement approaches identify problems based on data from the project or team.
Appropriate improvements can be derived from an analysis of the identified set of problems.
Which of the following is not an example of an analytical-based test process improvement approach?

NO.29 In an Agile context, defects are often fixed without writing a formal defect report. However, there are some conditions where it is good practice to write a defect report, even in an Agile context.
When is a defect report typically not written in an Agile context?

NO.30 Assume that you are using traceability to manage test case coverage against test conditions. During test analysis, three test conditions were identified. Test design for system testing has been completed and 10 test cases (TC1 to TC10) have been designed, as described by the following traceability matrix (“C” indicates a critical test case, while “NC” indicates a non-critical test case):

[traceability matrix not visible in the prompt]
The exit criterion for system testing states that each test condition must have all the associated critical test cases successfully executed (passed) AND all associated non-critical test cases at least executed.
The following is the situation after three days of system testing:
TC1, TC2, TC4, TC5, TC7, TC9: passed
TC3, TC10: failed (with an associated open defect report)
TC6, TC8: not run
Management wants to decide whether to release the system. You advise them that the system does not yet meet the defined exit criteria.
Based only on the given information, which test condition does not yet meet the stated exit criterion?
