CTAL-TM Practice Test practice questions, page 3 of 3, with answer review and explanations.
Question 11
A software development organization wants to introduce some specific improvements to its test process. Currently, most of their testing resources are focussedon system testing. They are developing embedded software, and do not have a simulation environment to enable them to execute software modules on the development host. They have been advised that introducing inspections and reviews could be the most appropriate step forward. The introduction of reviews and inspections has often failed as a process improvement action. Identify the THREE most important measures that should be taken to reduce the risk that this test process improvement will fail. 2 Credits (for 2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)
Process ownership and experienced moderators who drive the inspection process.
Management support
Training of those involved
The availability of stands and processes
Usage of a more traditional software development lifecycle
Alignment with software process improvement
Using a reference model, e.g. TMMi
Question 12
A software development organization wants to introduce some specific improvements to its test process. Currently, most of their testing resources are focussedon system testing. They are developing embedded software, and do not have a simulation environment to enable them to execute software modules on the development host. They have been advised that introducing inspections and reviews could be the most appropriate step forward. IEEE 1028 also defines “management review” as a type of review. What is the main purpose of a management review? 1 credit
Align technical concepts during the design phase
Establish a common understanding of requirements
Provide independent evaluation of compliance to processes, regulations, standards etc.
To monitor progress, assess the status of a project, and make decisions about future actions

They are developing embedded software, and do not have a simulation environment to enable them to execute software modules on the development host. They have been advised that introducing inspections and reviews could be the most appropriate step forward. Which of the following is an example of testing as part of the requirements specification phase? 1 credit
