Correct Answers of earlier Q. 141 to 150 are at the end of this page:
Q. 151: Assume you are testing a maintenance release which will add a new supported model to a browser-based application that allows car dealers to order custom-configured cars from the maker. You used
quality risk analysis to allocate test effort and prioritize testing during test analysis, design, and implementation. To check for unanticipated risk areas during test execution, you allocate 10% of the test execution effort to reactive testing using Whittaker’s attack techniques.Assume you have completed 25% of the test execution period. Which of the following statements is consistent with an analytical risk-based testing approach?
A. Run the remaining tests based on the risk levels determining during the initial quality risk analysis.
B. Shift the test execution effort to focus 90% on reactive testing using Whittaker’s attack techniques.
C. Bring in business experts to increase the coverage of technology-related risks.
D. Re-evaluate the risk levels based on the test results so far and reprioritize tests if necessary.

Q. 152: Which of the following statements are correct?
I. A failure can be detected only by dynamic testing technique.
II. Defects can exist in test environment.
III. All incidents require a software change.
IV. Code and design reviews can reveal defects
A. I, II, III true
B. 1, II, IV true
C. II, III, IV true
D. II, IV true

Q. 153: You are testing a new software release that is being built to rectify various bugs that were discovered by customers in past releases. Most of these bugs relate to robustness issues where the system failed to handle common input errors. In addition to creating scripted tests based on the requirements specification, you are developing a taxonomy of bug types found in previous releases of this software.
Consider the following documents and data which are available to you:
I. Requirements and design specifications
II. Past test results (tests passed/failed, bugs found, and coverage areas)
III. Bugs reported by customers to technical support
IV. List of error messages the system can return. Which of the following statements is true?
I. Requirements and design specifications
II. Past test results (tests passed/failed, bugs found, and coverage areas)
III. Bugs reported by customers to technical support
IV. List of error messages the system can return. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The bug taxonomy should be based mostly on items I and II.
B. The bug taxonomy should be based mostly on items III and IV.
C. The bucy taxonomy should be based mostly on items I and IV.
D. The bug taxonomy should be based mostly on items II and III.

Q. 154: Which of the following statement is true about Test Strategy;
A. Includes organization’s methods of testing, risk management and high level activities of testing.
B. Cannot be preventive or reactive.
C. Includes the application of the test strategy to a project.
D. Describes desired quality targets.

Q. 155: Which of the following is an example of a defect we would expect to find during technical security testing?
A. Slow response time
B. Resource over-utilization
C. Invalid privilege elevation
D. Frequent system crashes

Q. 156: You are responsible for system testing a safety-critical medical device that uses embedded software. A failure in the software may result in catastrophic failure of the device and patient death. Which of the following describes the best use of exploratory testing and bug-based attacks in your overall testing strategy?
A. Do not use these techniques for safety-critical systems, as they are likely to miss important bugs.
B. Only use these techniques at the very end of system test, as they are unlikely to find important bugs.
C. Use these techniques throughout system test, as they are likely to find some bugs that systematic techniques miss.
D. Use these techniques exclusively, as they are more efficient than systematic techniques and find all important bugs.

Q. 157: According to the ISTQB syllabus, major ways to handle risks are:
I. Mitigate the risk through preventive measures.
II. Make contingency plans to reduce impact if risk occurs.
III. Transfer the risk to someone else to handle.
IV. Ignore and accept the risk.
A. I, II and III true
B. I, II and IV true
C. II, III, IV true
D. I, II, III, IV true

Q. 158: Consider the following state transition diagram describing a withdrawal only ATM
Assume that you design tests to cover the decision table. Which of the following is a coverage criteria for the state transition diagrams that these tests might not satisfy?
A. All equivalence partitions should be tested.
B. Every transition should be visited.
C. All pairwise combinations of partitions should be tested.
D. Every state should be visited.

B. Bid bang approach is the best way to rollout test tools to an organization.
C. Maintenance fees, support fees, licensing fees and learning curve should be considered before introducing test tools to an organization.
D. Scripted / automated tests can be executed faster during test execution phase.
