Question 26

Consider a defect report and assume that a part of its lifecycle includes the following
states:
New: Is the initial state
WorkinG. Means that the developers are addressing the defect in order to produce a fix for
the defect Clarification: Means that the developers need more information from the tester to
address the defect and produce a fix for the defect and the tester is working to provide this
information to the developers Verification: Means that a fix for the defect has been
produced and the tester is running the adequate tests to verify whether the fix solves the
defect
CloseD. is the final state
Which of the following answers represents an invalid sequence of states that can't lead the
bug report to the "Closed" state?

  • Question 27

    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?
  • Question 28

  • Question 29

    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?
