Question
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 postconditions 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?

Options
A
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.
B
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.
C
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.
D
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 contribute to assess the detection.

Question
Assume that you are the Test Manager for a small banking application development project. You have decided to adopt a risk-based testing strategy and 5 product risks (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) have been identified during the quality risk analysis. The following table shows the risk level associated to these product risks (higher numbers mean higher risk):
55 test cases have been designed and implemented to cover all these 5 product risks. The coverage is described in a traceability matrix.
This is the test execution status table, after the after the first week of test execution:
About 56% of the planned test cases have been successfully executed.
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? K3 2 credits

Options
A
Since R3 is the only risk for which all test cases have passed, the risk has been reduced by 20%
B
The residual risk level can’t be determined, because it requires that all the test cases have been executed
C
The test execution status table indicates that the risk has been reduced by 56%
D
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
