B. The ratio of developers to testers in the project team.

C. The planned use of a project management tool to schedule tasks.

Which of the following would NOT typically be covered in a test summary report?

A. The risks associated with unresolved defects found during testing.

B. Any features of the system that were not tested along with reasons.

C. Whether there is any economic benefit in continuing testing beyond the planned date.

D. An analysis of lessons learned to determine changes for future projects.

Which option BEST describes how the level of risk is determined?

A. The likelihood of an adverse event happening multiplied by the cost of preventing it.

B. The consequences of potential problem multiplied by the cost of possible legal action.

C. The impact of an adverse event multiplied by the likelihood of that event occurring.

Your agile project has scheduled a final sprint before release to fix and re-test all open defects with a priority level of 3 or above. The following defect report shows the defect fields that are currently being captured on the system. Title: Unable to add excursions to pre-paid cruises Date raised: 21/05/18 Author: Emma Rigby Status: Fixed What occurred: I went to book an excursion for a pre-paid cruise but received an error message saying, ‘Facility not available’. I can book excursions on cruises that have not yet been fully paid. What should have occurred: Requirement 3.12 says clearly that customers can add excursions after cruises have been fully paid so the facility should have been available (when an additional amount may now need to be paid). Priority: 2 Software build: 2.1 Test level: System test Environment details: System test 3 Which of ONE of the following additional defect report fields would be MOST beneficial for the sprint team to add?

A. Severity.

B. Test Script Id.

C. Actual results.

D. Expected results.

A supermarket rewards its customers with discounts on certain products depending on how much the customer spends over a twelve-month period. The discounts are:

5% discount – once £500 has been spent. 10% discount – once a further £500 has been spent. 15% discount – once a further £1000 has been spent. 20% discount – once a further £2000 has been spent.

The following test cases have been written: TC1 – £500 spent TC2 – £2000 spent

How many more test cases must be written to achieve 100% 2-point boundary value analysis for the discount scheme?

A. 4

B. 6

C. 7

D. 8

Which one of the following is an example of how product risk analysis can influence the testing approach?

A. The complex business rules could result in costly failures, so decision table testing will be used for test case design.

B. Performance failures were much lower than expected, so more test analysis will be conducted in this area.

C. There is a lack of automation skills in the test team, so training for the automation tool will be rolled out.

D. There are no product risks recorded around security, so security testing will be given priority as a contingency measure.

Which of the following is an example of a typical project risk?

A. The application may not meet its performance targets when under load.

B. The users may find that the application does not meet their expectations.

C. The developers may not have the right skills to code the application.

D. The system architecture for the application may not be secure.
