Question
In many software organizations the test department is called the Quality Assurance (QA) department. Is this sentence correct or not and why?
Answer
  • It is correct. Testing and QA mean exactly the same thing
  • It is correct. These names can be used interchangeably because both testing and QA focus their activities on the same quality issues
  • It is not correct. Testing is something more; testing includes all activities with regard to quality. QA focuses on quality-related processes
  • It is not correct. QA is focused on quality-related processes while testing concentrates on demonstrating that a component or system is fit for purpose and to detect defects

  • Performing the impact analysis of a change will help selecting the right test cases for regression testing
  • Analyzing the traceability between the test basis, the test objects and the test cases will help in selecting test data to achieve the assumed coverage of the test object

Question 46

Question
Which of the following BEST explains a benefit of independence of testing?
Answer
  • The use of an independent test team allows project management to assign responsibility for the quality of the final deliverable to the test team
  • If a test team external to the organization can be afforded, then there are distinct benefits in terms of this external team not being so easily swayed by the delivery concerns of project management and the need to meet strict delivery deadlines
  • An independent test team can work separately from the developers, need not be distracted with project requirement changes, and can restrict communication with the developers to defect reporting through the defect management system
  • When specifications contain ambiguities and inconsistencies, assumptions are made on their interpretation, and an independent tester can be useful in questioning those assumptions and the interpretation made by the developer

Question 47

Question

Question
During risk analysis the team considered the following risk: “The system allows too high a discount for a customer”. The team estimated the risk impact to be very high. What can one say about the risk likelihood?
Answer
  • It is also very high. High risk impact always implies high risk likelihood
  • It is very low. High risk impact always implies low risk likelihood
  • One cannot say anything about risk likelihood. Risk impact and risk likelihood are independent.

  • One of the identified risks was "Lack of support of open-source databases", so the team decided to integrate the system with an open-source database
  • During the quantitative risk analysis, the team estimated the total level of all identified risks and reported it as the total residual risk before testing
  • Risk assessment revealed a very high level of performance risks, so it was decided to perform detailed performance efficiency testing early in the SDLC
