You have assembled the following cost of quality numbers 200 defects were found prior to release and 100 were found after. Given this information what is the total cost of quality for this project?

Which three of the following would be considered a good mix of technical and interpersonal skills (hard and soft), for a test team leader? a. Ability to compliment a developer. b. Presenting information regarding a test project progress to stakeholders c. Using a configuration management tool. d. Ability to read a development coding language e. Assessing a failure and documenting it correctly.

You are planning the testing for an emergency product update required to correct a serious security issue and to improve system maintainability of a key product in your company's catalogue. It has been estimated that the historical cost to the company for the security issue in this system has been $375,000. In the last year a total of 10 reported "live' incidents were reported, resulting in a total external failure cost of S110.000 to correct. The cost of prevention for this project has been estimated as $78,500 and from the development you have learned that the average cost of detection was $1,250 and the average cost of internal failure was $7,450 Which one of the following statements about cost of quality is TRUE? SELECT ONE OPTION

Your test process is fully integrated into the software development lifecycle. You are at which TMMi level? [1]

You have replaced informal code reviews with technical reviews for the most complex and critical components, in an attempt to reduce the high number of defects being found during component and integration test levels. The project manager is concerned about the costs of implementing formal reviews and has asked you to measure whether they actually provide a return on investment. Which three of the following metrics would be MOST effective in helping you to achieve this? a. Identification of defect clusters across components b. Number of lines of code reviewed c. Number of defects found during reviews d Root cause for each defect detected e Post-review cost of detection and internal failure per defect f. Type of review g. Effort to conduct the review including rework

You are a Test Manager at a company that develops mobile phone applications. Based on historical data in your company, you have calculated the following average metrics for system testing: • for each 100 LOC (Lines Of Code). 4 test cases are executed • each test case takes on average 15 minutes to execute and check • for each 1000 LOC, 5 defects are found You have used this information to create an estimate for the system testing of a new mobile phone application being developed to submit gas and electricity readings. The application delivered for system testing has 50.000 lines of code. At the end of system testing, 250 defects are discovered. Assume that: • the system test of the new mobile phone application will require the same amount of effort as previous applications • defect density = number of defects/1000 LOC • no new tools or processes have been introduced to the test team Based only on the given information, which one of the following statements is true about this new mobile phone application? SELECT ONE OPTION

You are Test Manager on a new project and have estimated the test effort to be 500 days, assuming that you will find no more than 50 defects and 5 test iterations being required. The project manager has said the estimate is too high. Which of the following options could enable you to reduce this estimate? SELECT ONE OPTION

Test results are reported as "Requirements tested, passed, and failed". What test strategy are you using? [1]

Which of the following are Test Closure activities? a All results lodged in configuration management system - for example test plans, results, logs, reports. b. Plans in place for lessons to be learnt to ensure that good practices are repeated and poor practices are not. c. Checks undertaken to ensure that all test work is completed - all tests executed or skipped, all defects managed to appropriate conclusion. d. All project closure activities completed - for example customer training completed, and analysis of vendor performance undertaken. e. AM testing work products delivered to those that need them - for example environments/ regression test sets passed to maintenance. f. Checks undertaken to ensure that all tests have been executed, with all defects confirmed as fixed by retesting. SELECT ONE OPTION

Which of the following BEST explains how test process improvement can benefit an organisation? SELECT ONE OPTION
