Question 11
Assume that you are the Test Manager for a small insurance application development project. You have decided to adopt a risk-based testing strategy: 5 product risks (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5) have been identified and their levels of risk have been assessed. 10 test cases (T1, , T10) have been designed to cover all the product risks. The following table shows the risk level and the test cases associated to the identified product risks (higher risk level means higher risk): You are not confident with the assessment of the risk level and you suspect that it will be possible to find high-priority bugs in low-risk areas. Furthermore the period for test execution is very short. Your goal is to test all the product risks in a risk-based way, while assuring that each product risk gets at least some amount of testing. Which of the following answers describes the best test execution schedule in this scenario?
T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10
T1, T3, T5, T7, T9, T2, T4, T6, T8, T10
T10, T9, T8, T7, T6, T5, T4, T3, T2, T1
T10, T8, T6, T4, T2, T9, T7, T5, T3, T1
Question 12
Assume you are working on a CAS (Conditional Access System) for Pay-TV that allows the access, selection and transfer of services and media to authorized users. Authorized users can choose their services through different channels: Web Customer Portal, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), Call Centre and SMS. The system uses a Smart Card to receive and decrypt the broadcasted encrypted control words which allow decrypting pay-per-view TV. Every authorized user must have a Smart Card and a Set-Top Box to view the contents. The following is an excerpt from the product risk analysis document: Both likelihood and impact have been rated on the following scale: (1 Very low, 2 Low, 3 Medium, 4 High, 5 Very High). The required test environment and code have been delivered. All test cases for each identified product risk item have been written and are ready to be executed. The Database used to contain the Smart Cards is empty and so only new Smart Cards can be used during test execution. A Smart Card can only be activated if it has been previously pre-activated. This means the post-conditions for the execution of the test cases to test the pre- activation of the Smart Card are the pre-conditions for activation of the Smart Card. Which of the following statements represents the most effective contribution of the stakeholders to the completion of the failure mode analysis table?
The aircraft pilot and the customer representative should contribute to assess the detection. The chief software engineer, the system architect and the expert tester should contribute to assess the priority.
The aircraft pilot and the customer representative should contribute to assess the priority. The chief software engineer, the system architect and the expert tester should contribute to assess the detection.
The system architect and the chief software engineer should contribute to assess the priority. The expert tester is the only one who should contribute to assess the detection.
The aircraft pilot is the only one qualified to contribute to assess the priority and thus should be assigned this task. The customer representative should
