Your Project Manager has challenged you to come up with a process improvement strategy using the IDEAL model.
Which step within the process defines the success criteria? [2]

• A.Analysis
• B.Diagnosing
• C.Entrance
• D.Initiation

You have decided to help your team improve their skills. One of their assignments is to mentor a junior member of the team Which competency should you expect the mentor to develop during this exercise?

• A.Social
• B.Professional
• C.Biological
• D.Methodological

Your team has been working on an Agile project for two months. There is a retrospective at the endof each sprint One of the data items reviewed is how many defects are being caught by users rather than by testers.
The test team is being blamed for these escapes
What do you need to do to make these sessions more productive?

• A.You should gather metrics to present to the team regarding all the hours spent testing
• B.You should help the team brainstorm ideas on how to improve the testing to eliminate the escapes
• C.You should attend the retrospective instead of the individual testers
• D.You should do root cause analysis to prove the developers are responsible

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.

• A.a, e and g.
• B.b, d and f.
• C.a, c and g.
• D.a, b and d.

You are writing the project test plan and are analysing the following risks in the project risk register:

Which would be the MOST appropriate test activities to mitigate the product risks?

• A.Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply security testing for Risk 4 and schedule it ahead of performance testing for Risk 2. Conduct reviews of early screen designs and involve users with visual disabilities
• B.Ignore Risk 1 as this is not within scope of a project test strategy. Apply performance testing for Risks 2 and 4, but schedule Risk 4 testing first. Ensure end-users with visual disabilities are involved during UAT
• C.Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply performance testing for Risk 2 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4. Disregard Risk 3 as it cannot be mitigated by test activities
• D.Apply portability testing for Risk 1 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4 and finally performance testing for Risk 2. Embed users with visual disabilities into the design team for Risk 3
