b. Security vulnerabilities.
c. Poor performance.
d. Unreachable code.
e. Business processes not followed.
A. b, c and d are true; a and e are false

Q. 876: The Following table shows 6 test procedures (P to U) that must now be entered into a test execution schedule.
Test Proce-dure ID | Business Priority (1 High 2 Medium 3 Low) |
Dependencies on other test procedures | Other dependencies |
P | 3 | None | Delivery of the code for this part of system is running very late |
Q | 1 | None | Regression testing only |
R | 1 | Requires S to be run first | None |
S | 2 | None | None |
T | 2 | None | Regression testing only |
U | 3 | None | None |
Business severity is regarded as the most important element in determining the sequence of the test procedures, but other dependencies must also be taken into consideration. Regression testing can only be run once all other tests have completed.
Which of the following represents the MOST effective sequence for the test execution schedule (where the first entry in the sequence is the first procedure to be run, the second entry is the second to be run and so on)?
A. R, Q, S, T, U, P
B. S, R, P, U, Q, T
C. Q, R, S, T, P, U
D. S, R, U, P, Q, T

b. Roll out the tool across the organization as quickly as possible to all users.
c. Provide technical support to the test team for each type of tool.
d. Introduce a system to monitor tool usage and user feedback.
e. Ensure that the test process is not changed as result of the tool’s introduction.
A. a, b and c.
B. a, c and d.
C. c, d and e.
D. b, d and e.
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 878: Which of the following is MOST likely to be an objective of a pilot project to introduce a test tool?
A. To assess if the test tool brings benefits at reasonable cost
B. To ensure that developers will use the test tool
C. To ensure that the time spent testing and the cost of testing is reduced
D. To assess if everyone in the organisation can be trained prior to roll-out

Q. 879: Which of the following statements describe why error guessing is a useful test design technique?
a. It can help derive test cases based on analysis of specification documents.
b. It can identify tests not easily captured by formal techniques.
c. It can make good use of tester’s experience and available defect data.
d. It is a cheaper alternative to more formal test design techniques.
A. a and b
B. b and c
C. c and d
D. a and c
