b) Identification of external web services and enforcement of service level agreements (SLAs)
with service provider done by project management and test management.
c) Integration test level plan defined by test manager before each development cycle and
handed over to developers on day 10 - ANS You are the Test Manager working on a project
developing a tourist information mobile application. The project recently switched to an agile
process and test-driven development. Each development cycle
lasts 15 days, with daily builds beginning at day 7. After day 10, no new features are allowed to
be added. The development team is composed of very experienced team members, who are
proud of their work, but not tolerant of the testing team. The requirements are written down as
coarse-grained user stories like the following one:
The software depends on existing web services, which are stubbed during development. Unit
testing is done by developers, while system and user acceptance testing is the testing team's
responsibility. System test in earlier development cycles was often blocked due to severe
failures of newly developed features. Analysis shows that many of these failures could have
been found during unit test. Analysis of issues found during production show that 30% of
performance problems were due to unreliable web services delivered by 3rd party suppliers.
Primary test objectives are to mitigate the perceived performance risks and to increase the
confidence that no failures with high severity will occur in user stories with priority >= High.
Moreover, upper management demanded for closer cooperation of testers and developers.
Which of the following test activities and/or work products will achieve the test objectives best?

test conditions should be specified for system
testing?
a) Test design and test execution is outsourced.
b) Test basis is changing frequently.
c) Domain experts are available for consultation during test design.
d) Test basis is of low quality.

ANS Scenario 1:
Assume that you are working for an ambitious start-up. They are creating a system that will
provide customized loyalty and rewards programs for small- and medium-sized companies
selling to customers on the Web. These companies enroll themselves on the system's web store.
This allows the companies to create customized buttons, to be placed on their websites, that let
customers enroll in the companies' loyalty and rewards program. Each subsequent purchase
earns points, and both companies and their customers can manage the program; for example,
to determine the number of points required to receive a free product or service. Your
employer's marketing staff are heavily promoting the system, offering aggressive discounts on
the first year's fees to sign up inaugural companies. The marketing materials state that the
service will be highly reliable and extremely fast for companies and their customers. At this
time, the requirements are complete, and development of the software has just begun. The
current schedule will allow companies and their customers to start enrolling in three months.
Your employer intends to use cloud computing resources to host this service, and to have no
hardware resources other than ordinary office computers for its developers, testers, and other
engineers and managers. Industry-standard web-based application software components will be
used to build the system. Consider the following risk item that was identified during the quality
risk analysis process:
Customized enrollment buttons for a company's website are not assigned the correct URL for
that company's loyalty program.

item. Which of the following is a positive logical test that is complete, is correct, and covers this
risk item?

impact are both assessed on a five-point scale ranging from very low to very high. Consider the
following risk item that was identified during the quality risk analysis process: Customized
enrollment buttons for a company's website are not assigned the correct URL for that
company's loyalty program.
Assume that technical project stakeholders have assessed the like
b) If the test plan calls for running at least one test for each requirement as early as possible,
the test sequencing might be correct.
e) The test team might not be following the test strategy, since test 02.010 is higher risk than
02.019. - ANS In a given company, testing is expected to follow a risk-based testing strategy.
