Which statement about defect management in hybrid software development is TRUE?
Your current project is delivering a warehouse management system for use in distribution centres, you are writing a test plan to address acceptance testing. You need to determine which stakeholders would be interested in receiving regular reports covering the progress of test execution against agreed schedule and budget. Which roles would be MOST interested in these reports?
Which of the following metrics would be most beneficial to collect to determine the effectiveness of a review process? [2]
Which three of the following would be considered a good mix of technical and interpersonal skills (hard and soft), for a test team leader?
a. Ability to compliment a developer.
b. Presenting information regarding a test project progress to stakeholders
c. Using a configuration management tool.
d. Ability to read a development coding language
e. Assessing a failure and documenting it correctly.
The previous release of an in-house invoicing application was live for 6 months before beingreplaced by a later release.
• Before it went live, €1,500 had been spent on defect prevention and a further €4,500 had been spent on writing and running tests; these tests found 80 defects and the average cost of dealing with these was €50 each.
• By the time that it was replaced, defect reports from live running showed that pre-release testing had found only 80% of the defects that were present; the average cost of dealing with the defects that went live was 12 times that of the internal failures.
Which statement is TRUE?
Risks have been identified for a project and they have been analysed using a quantitative method, with the following results for probability and impact.
Which risk should the System Testing focus on mitigating first?

You are preparing the estimate for the test plan, which should cover all test activities subsequent to the plan having been agreed. Estimation of test activities has in the past been embarrassingly inaccurate. Historical data from previous similar projects is unreliable, but for two recent projects it is possible to find out how many test cases were developed and how long this took.
Which TWO of the following estimation techniques will be BEST in this scenario?
SCENARIO 3
You are the Test Manager for a software house called "MakeMyApp" that specialise in mobile phone applications, agile techniques are used for all software development projects.
A new project is underway to develop enhancements to a 'photo sharing' application, known as 'PictureFriend'. There are two types of user account available -Premium Users and Guest Users. Guest users only have limited functionality available. The enhanced features to PictureFriend are:
• Feature 1: Guest Users can share photos with other Guest Users and Premium Users;
• Feature 2: Premium Users can edit pictures before posting to their account;
• Feature 3: Premium Users can create '3D-effect' photographs
The requirements for each feature will be broken down into a number of User Stories with acceptance criteria created for each of them. User Stories are planned and delivered in 2-week 'Sprints'. The project will have 3 sprints.
Refer to SCENARIO 3
You have been asked to select an appropriate review type and review remit for the project.
Which of the following is the BEST review type and remit for this project?

While mining the defect database for patterns of problems in the last release, a Test Manager notices that many of the most damaging failures were caused by defects
injected during the low-level design phase.
Which of the following actions will likely give this project the most effective solution to this problem? [3]
Assuming that 'In progress' means that somebody is working on a fix and that 'Resolved' means that the fix passed the confirmation test; which option provides a defect workflow that flows in a sensible way from an initial state to a terminal state?
