ISTQB-BCS Certified Tester Advanced Level- Test Manager (2012) (TM12) - BCS Exam Questions

During the system testing phase a tester from your test team observes a failure in the system under test and he/she decides to create an incident report. The incident report is currently in a “new” state, indicating it needs to be investigated.

Which THREE of the following information items can’t yet be present in the incident report? Number of correct responses: 3 (2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)

You are performing a quality risk analysis for a CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item) used to implement a CBIT (Continuous Built-In Test) module of a safety-critical system. During the quality risk analysis you are trying to identify the ways in which failures of the CBIT module can occur, for each of them trying to determine the potential causes and likely effects, and the risk level (calculated as the product of three factors: severity, occurrence and detection).

Which of the following risk analysis techniques are you working with? Number of correct responses: 1

In the test strategy document your organization declares:

- to adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testing: unit, integration and
system testing

- to use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of testing
The following is an excerpt of the “approach” section for the system test plan document of a new project: “Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test analysis and test design. Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed (passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected).” In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described. Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true? Number of correct responses: 1

During the follow-up phase the following conditions are checked: X1. The code has been completely reviewed X2. All the identified defects have been correctly fixed and the modified code has been compiled successfully and run through all the static analyzers used by the project without warnings and errors X3. The modified code is available under the configuration management system with a new version number for the specified CI
If these conditions are fulfilled then the review process terminates.

Which of the following characteristics of a formal review is missing in this description? Number of correct responses: 1

Which of the following statements describing the consequences of specifying test conditions at a detailed level is NOT true? Number of correct responses: 1
