Question 1

1.6.2 Imagine a financial technology (fintech) company needs to choose a test tool for its new application that handles sensitive financial transactions. Discuss the factors they should consider, especially regarding regulations, financial aspects, and stakeholder requirements, and identify the most suitable tool type based on these considerations.

Options :

A : The fintech company should choose an open-source tool because it has lower initial costs. However, they might struggle with meeting regulatory requirements and ensuring security, which are critical in handling financial transactions.

B : The fintech company should opt for a commercial tool as it often meets regulatory standards, possesses necessary certifications, and offers comprehensive support. Although it might be costlier upfront and have recurring license fees, it ensures compliance and security. Stakeholder requirements can be thoroughly met with features provided by commercial tools.

C : The fintech company should develop a custom tool to ensure all specific requirements are met. This approach might have high initial costs and lengthy development times but allows for tailored functionalities that no commercial or open-source tool might offer.

D : The fintech company should use a mix of commercial and open-source tools to balance costs and compliance. This approach can optimize costs but may face challenges in integration and consistent compliance across tools.

Answer: B

Question 2

1.5.1 When prioritizing the list of possible test process improvements, which factors should be considered, and how might these factors impact the decision-making process?

Options :

A : Return on investment (ROI), risks, alignment with project or team strategies, measurable quantitative or qualitative benefits

B : Stakeholder preferences, initial costs, ease of implementation, potential for immediate results

C : Historical data, industry standards, benchmarking against competitors, team skill levels

D : Compliance requirements, market trends, customer feedback, resource availability

Answer: A

Question 3

2.1.3 You are leading a large-scale software development project. Your team is in the middle of system integration testing and needs to ensure all product risks are adequately covered while monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of the testing process.During system integration testing, you notice that some tests have failed, and new defects have been introduced. Which combination of metrics would best help you assess the impact and manage the resolution of these issues?

Options :

A : Percentage of risks of which all tests passed, breakdown of defects by source, and test cost

B : Percentage of risks not yet completely tested, accumulated number of resolved defects, and residual risks for untested components

C : Percentage of risks of which some or all tests failed, breakdown of defects by priority/severity, and test execution status

D : Percentage of requirements covered by test cases, number of actual versus planned resource hours, and code coverage

Answer: C

Question 4

1.3.4 In the context of the mobile banking application project, you have identified several high-risk features, including user authentication and transaction processing. How should you structure your test planning and execution to best mitigate these risks?

Options :

A : Prioritize all test cases equally to ensure comprehensive coverage of all features.

B : Start testing high-risk features early with rigorous techniques, while using less rigorous techniques for low-risk features, and continuously adjust based on test results.

C : Focus only on dynamic testing for high-risk features, neglecting static testing and code reviews.

D : Allocate the same level of effort and resources to all test levels and types regardless of risk levels.

Answer: B

Question 5

2.3.1 As a test manager, you are designing a defect workflow for a new project. Your goal is to ensure that the workflow is efficient, adaptable, and provides valuable insights for continuous improvement.Why is it recommended to use only one terminal state (e.g., CLOSED) in a defect workflow, and what should be required upon transition to this state?

Options :

A : It simplifies the workflow, and no additional information is needed.

B : It ensures consistency, and the reason for closure must be chosen.

C : It reduces the number of transitions, and the defect is automatically archived.

D : It allows faster processing, and the defect is marked as resolved.
