Q. 72: A major bank has recently outsourced all of its software development in an effort to reduce its fixed costs. The new supplier will be responsible for all new developments as well as enhancements to existing ones.

The bank has retained its own management team for its projects. There will be an in-house project manager, development manager and test manager for each project. Some staff may work on more than one project, depending on the overall size.

An enhancement is being made to allow existing customers to authorise their own loans online, from �1k to �10k by answering a series of questions.

You are a test manager with the bank and you have written a test strategy for the outsourced team to follow. Unit testing has begun but informal conversations with the developers have revealed that they have not received a signed-off specification from the bank for the enhancement. They do know how loans work though and have created code from conversations with bank staff alongside their own knowledge.

How could a strategy have helped to avoid this situation?

A. The test strategy would have identified bank staff with the right knowledge for consultation on the loan requirements.

B. The test strategy would have laid out the process for capturing how the loan process would work which the outsourced team would have followed.

C. The test strategy would have specified that a signed-off specification would be made available to the coding team prior to the start of development.

D. The test strategy would have requested that the outsourced team take part in specifying the requirements, to make use of their knowledge.

Explanation in favor of the correct Answer:

Option A is about requirements capture, not testing. It may appear in a test plan, which may show how reviews of specifications may be carried out, but would not appear in the test strategy (it will say that reviews will be carried out, but would not name specific individuals).

Answer B is again about requirements capture, it would not appear in the test strategy.

Answer D is also about capturing the requirements.

Q. 73: The aircrew of a national air defence force has requested changes to the existing aviation software that provides on-board information about the combat environment. The air force is currently engaged in a peace-keeping mission in another country and has come under unexpected threats.

The development life cycle is the V model. The software house needs to change their test management process to ensure delivery at the right time and quality.

The software changes are coming in as the aircrew request them, as a result of their engagements with hostile forces.

The aircrew have requested that the changes are made as quickly as possible. The project manager has decided to revisit the test management process. The changes will come as small change requests. The team have worked on the project for over 25 years, with little staff turnover.

Which of the following test measures should be emphasised during the crisis?

I. Readiness of the test environment for each run.
II. Number of high-priority defects being found.
III. Number of defects being found per tester.
IV. Number of hours overtime being worked by staff.
V. Number of change requests tested versus number passed.

A. I, II and V
B. II, III and IV
C. II, III and V
D. I, II and III

Explanation in favor of the correct Answer:

Option I, �readiness of the test environment�, while it may be a given, should always be monitored.

Option II, �number of high-priority defects found� is a good indicator of product quality and should be included.

Option III, �number of defects found per tester� may be useful, but it would need to be combined with other data, such as requirements tested to be of any real value.

Option IV, �number of overtime hours worked by testers� is unlikely to be of much concern here.

Option V, �number of change requests passing� should be monitored.
