CSE 565 final Exam review (Latest Update
) Questions with Correct
Answers {Grade A}100% Verified
Critical Path Analysis - correct answer Used on a PERT chart to find the critical path in
the testing plan (the path with no slack time)
What does overestimate the time for tests lead to? - correct answer Inefficient testing
and delayed product release
What does underestimating the time for tests lead to? - correct answer Lots of
overtime, high stress, and likely inefficient testing
T/F: The manager should come up with the schedule and show to the team when
finalized. - correct answer False. The team should be included in the process so they
are committed to it too.
Gannt Chart - correct answer Identifies duration of tasks along with their starting and
ending dates. It identifies parallel tasks
,Contingency time - correct answer Buffer time built into the schedule in case
something goes wrong. The confidence of the schedule is directly linked to the amount
of contingency time.
What are factors in testing effort? - correct answer Size, complexity, scope,
technologies used, desired quality, process, will customers be available to talk to,
quality of the code, etc
What are causes of inaccurate testing estimation? - correct answer 1.
Misunderstanding of requirements
2. Overlooked tasks
3. Insufficient analysis when developing estimates due to pressure
4. Lack of guidelines for estimating
5. Lack of historical data
6. Pressure to reduce estimates
, Steps to estimating testing effort - correct answer 1. Determine estimation
responsibilities
2. Review & clarify testing objectives, deliverables, milestones, and constraints
3. Identify testing tasks (some tasks include: understand requirements, train on tools,
test case development)
4. Select appropriate size measure (number of requirements, number of use cases,
lines of code)
5. Select size estimation method: (top down or bottom up)
6. Estimate and document size
7. Estimate and document effort
Top down size estimation - correct answer Experts develop estimate based on
previous data. This may fail for new types of projects
Bottom up size estimation - correct answer Break the testing into parts and estimate
each part
80/20 rule - correct answer 80% of effort will focus on 20% of the code
