Q. 742: A test plan included the following clauses among the exit criteria:

# System test shall continue until all significant product risks have been covered to the extent specified in the product risk analysis document.

# System test shall continue until no must-fix defects remain against any significant product risks specified in the product risk analysis document.

During test execution, the test team detects 430 must-fix defects prior to release and all must-fix defects are resolved. After release, the customers find 212 new defects, none of which were detected during testing. This means that only 67% of the important defects were found prior to release, a percentage which is well below average in your industry. You are asked to find the root cause for the high number of field failures. Consider the following list of explanations:

I. Not all the tests planned for the significant product risks were executed.

II. The organization has unrealistic expectations of the percentage of defects that testing can find.

III. A version-control issue has resulted in the release of a version of the software that was used during early testing.

IV. The product risk analysis failed to identify all the important risks from a customer point of view.

V. The product risk analysis was not updated during the project as new information became available.

Which of the following statements indicate which explanations are possible root causes?

A. II, III and IV are possible explanations, but I and V are not possible.
B. All five are possible explanations.
C. I, IV and V are possible explanations, but II and III are not possible.
D. III, IV and V are possible explanations, but I and II are not possible.

Q. 743: What is the most important factor for successful performance of reviews?

Q. 744: Consider the following statements about maintenance testing:

I. It requires both re-test and regression test and may require additional new tests.

II. It is testing to show how easy it will be to maintain the system.

III. It is difficult to scope and therefore needs careful risk and impact analysis.

IV. It need not be done for emergency bug fixes.

Which of the statements are true?

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

C. II and IV

D. III and IV

A. Decision tables and state transition testing
B. Equivalence partitioning and state transition testing
C. Decision tables and boundary value analysis
D. Equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis

Q. 747: Which of the following is an advantage of independent testing?

A. Independent testers don’t have to spend time communicating with the project team.

B. Programmers can stop worrying about the quality of their work and focus on producing more code.

C. The others on a project can pressure the independent testers to accelerate testing at the end of the schedule.

D. Independent testers sometimes question the assumptions behind requirements, designs and implementations.

Q. 748: DDP formula that would apply for calculating DDP for the last level of testing prior to release to the field is

A. DDP = {Defects (Testers) � Defects (Field)} / Defects (Testers)
B. DDP = {Defects (Testers) + Defects (Field)} / Defects (Testers)
C. DDP = Defects (Testers) / {Defects (Field) + Defects (Testers)}
D. DDP = Defects (Testers) / {Defects (Field) – Defects (Testers)}
