ATM Exam Dumps : Advanced Test Management Exam v 3.0 – ISTQB

Context Analysis:

The developers claim many defect reports are invalid. Reviewing defects that are rejected or closed without fixes can highlight issues like incorrect environment setup or missed testing steps.

Evaluation of Options:

A. In the ones that are stuck in the In Progress state:

Incorrect. These defects are still being investigated, not confirmed as invalid.

B. In the ones that are Resolved but not Closed:

Incorrect. These defects have been fixed but not yet verified; they are not considered invalid.

C. In the ones that are in the status Rejected or Closed without a fix:

Correct. Rejected defects are marked invalid and are directly related to the problem described.

D. In the ones with the status of Re-Opened:

Incorrect. Re-opened defects indicate recurring or unresolved issues, not invalid reports.

Syllabus Alignment:

ISTQB highlights analyzing defect statuses to improve defect reporting and management processes (TM-2.3.5).

Understanding SMART Goals:

SMART goals must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

The goal "automate 90% of the manual regression tests before the product release date" may not beachievabledepending on the time constraints and resources available.

Evaluation of Options:

Ais correct because the issue lies in whether automating 90% is feasible within the timeline.

Bis incorrect as the goal is specific.

Cis incorrect because automating regression tests is relevant to reducing regressions.

Dis incorrect since the goal is measurable by the percentage of automation achieved.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

Aligned with ISTQB Advanced Test Management guidelines on goal setting and test automation strategies (TM-1.6.2)​​​.

Context Analysis:

The scenario involves tight integration, architectural design, and data transformations, requiring detailed and structured approaches.

Access to architectural documents and experienced testers (former developers) aligns with model-based and white-box techniques.

Evaluation of Options:

A. Model-based and white-box:

Correct. Model-based testing leverages design documents, while white-box testing uses internal knowledge for detailed integration testing.

B. Experience-based and black-box:

Incorrect. This is less structured and doesn’t utilize available design documentation or tester expertise.

C. Risk-based and non-functional:

Incorrect. Risk-based testing focuses on high-priority areas but doesn’t leverage the design documents for integration specifics.

D. Requirements-based and functional:

Incorrect. While functional testing is relevant, requirements-based testing does not utilize internal system knowledge effectively.

Syllabus Alignment:

ISTQB emphasizes model-based and white-box testing as appropriate for systems with complex integrations (TM-1.2.6).
