Question 11
Assume that no additional product risks have been identified during the first week of test execution. Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the residual risks associated with the identified product risks, at the end of the first week of test execution?
Since R3 is the only risk for which all test cases have passed, the risk has been reduced by 20%
The test execution status table indicates that the risk has been reduced by 56%
The residual risk level can’t be determined, because it requires that all the test cases have been executed
The test execution table doesn’t give an indication of the risk level of the open defects and the test cases that failed or are not run yet
Question 12
Testing Process - The following are the exit criteria described in the test plan of a software product: EX1. The test suite for the product must ensure that at least each quality risk item is covered by at least one test case (a quality risk item can be covered by more test cases). EX2. All test cases in the test suite must be run during the execution phase. EX3. Defects are classified into two categories: “C” (critical defect) and “NC” (non-critical defect). No known C defects shall exist in the product at the end of the test execution phase. Which of the following information is useless when the specified exit criteria is evaluated?
A traceability matrix showing the relationships between the product risk items and the test cases
A list of all the open defects with the associated classification information extracted from the defect tracking system
A chart, showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution, extracted from the defect tracking system
The execution status of all the test cases extracted from the test management tool
