Which of the following statements about the STEP test process improvement model is true?
Number of correct responses: 1

• A.In the STEP model, tests validate the requirements and use cases when they are developed
• B.The STEP model assures that the system requirements specification and the test design specification processes don't overlap
• C.In the STEP model, testware design occurs after coding
• D.The STEP model stresses defect detection and demonstration of capability, whereas the defect prevention is a secondary potential goal of testing

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?
Number of correct responses: 1

• A.New, Working, Clarification, Working, Verification, Closed
• B.New, Working, Verification, Closed
• C.New, Working, Verification, Working, Clarification, Working, Verification, Closed
• D.New, Working, Verification, Working, Clarification, Working, Closed

Assume you are managing a test automation project for a mission-critical system.
Because vendor provided tools and open source solutions don't meet the needs of this project, you ask your test team to develop a custom automation framework.
Which of the following management issues associated to the development of this custom automation framework is least likely to manage?
Number of correct responses: 1

• A.The changes to the custom automation framework should be communicated to all external users of this tool under the GNU license
• B.Proper testing for the custom automation framework must be performed
• C.The custom automation framework will require an adequate documentation
• D.The custom automation framework will need proper maintenance

During the system testing phase a tester from your test team observes a failure in the system under test and he/she decides to create an incident report. The incident report is currently in a "new" state, indicating it needs to be investigated.
Which THREE of the following information items can't yet be present in the incident report?
Number of correct responses: 3
(2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)

• A.The type of defect that caused the failure
• B.The actual and the expected result highlighting the failure
• C.The lifecycle phase in which the defect has been introduced
• D.Steps to reproduce the failure, including screenshots, database dumps and logs where applicable
• E.What really caused the failure (actual cause)

In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of a project you are working on as Test Manager.
You have identified as one of the main project risks, that the requirements specification will still be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase.
Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test preparation.
You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the same organization.
Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at mitigating this risk?
Number of correct responses: 1

• A.Even if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project manager without preparing any tests
• B.Don't design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that test execution is blocked due to incomplete requirements
• C.Don't prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the new features don't introduce regression
• D.Make reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight tests that can be easily updated during test execution
