NEW QUESTION 20
Reviews
You are the Test Manager of a project that adopts a V-model with four formal levels of testing: unit, integration, system and acceptance testing.

- B. Time to conduct the requirements review
- C. Total number of defects attributable to requirements found during unit, integration, system and acceptance testing
- D. Number of defects found during the requirements review
- E. Total number of defects attributable to requirements, found during functional specification review, high- level design review, low-level design review, code review, unit testing, integration testing, system testing and acceptance testing

NEW QUESTION 21
Assume you are the Test Manager in charge of independent testing for avionics applications.
You are in charge of testing for a project to implement three different CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item):
-
a BOOT-X CSCI that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard
-
a DIAG-X CSCI that must be certified at level C of the DO-178B standard
-
a DRIV-X CSCI that must be certified at level A of the DO-178B standard
These are three different software modules written in C language to run on a specific hardware platform.
You have been asked to select a single code coverage tool to perform the mandatory code coverage measurements, in order to meet the structural coverage criteria prescribed by the DO178B standard. This tool must be qualified as a verification tool under DO-178B.
Since there are significant budget constraints to purchase this tool, you are evaluating an open-source tool that is able to provide different types of code coverage. This tool meets perfectly your technical needs in terms of the programming language and the specific hardware platform (it supports also the specific C-compiler).
The source code of the tool is available.
Your team could easily customize the tool to meet the project needs. This tool is not qualified as a verification tool under the DO-178B.
Which of the following are the three main concerns related to that open-source tool selection?
K4 3 credits (2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)
- A. Does the tool require a system with more than 4GB of RAM memory?
- B. Does the tool support all the types of code coverage required from the three levels A, B, C of the DO-178B standard?
- C. Is the licensing scheme of the tool compatible with the confidentiality needs of the avionics company?
- D. Is the installation procedure of the tool easy?
- E. What are the costs to qualify the tool as a verification tool under the DO-178B?
- F. Does the tool have a good general usability?
Answer: B,C,E
NEW QUESTION 22
Test Management
You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features.
There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birthdate, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password.
A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department.
Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console.
You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA.
Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis?
- A. The authentication system grants access to a special user with a wrong password
- B. The authentication system denies access for a special user with a wrong password, but doesn't display a special warning on the system console
- C. The authentication system grants access to a normal user with a wrong password
- D. The late delivery of the authentication feature to the test team causes delays in the start of test execution and this could result in a shorter test period

Testing Process
Assume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerce application.
The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability is provided through a set of web services.
The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service Level Agreements) like the following:
SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five seconds under a load of up- to 5000 concurrent users The main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specification document will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testing strategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count on a well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior under various load levels produced by the system architect.
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones to achieve the test objectives in this scenario?
- A. Perform static performance testing by reviewing the architectural model of the system under various load levels
- B. Perform unit performance testing for each single web service
- C. Perform system performance testing, consisting of several performance testing sessions, to verify if all the SLAs have been met
- D. Monitor the SLAs after the system has been released into the production environment
