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

Identifying the Risk:

High regression rates (40%) indicate a need to improve regression testing capabilities and reduce risks.

Test automation addresses regressions effectively by enabling faster and repeated testing.

Evaluation of Options:

Ais irrelevant to the regression risks highlighted.

Bis correct because it emphasizes test automation for regressions and quality gates to prevent defect leaks.

Cis partially valid but does not directly address regression issues.

Dfocuses on development practices, which, while helpful, does not directly reduce regression risks.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

This aligns with ISTQB guidelines on balancing manual and automated testing in regression scenarios (TM-1.6.3, TM-1.4.2)​​​.

Context Analysis:

Agile emphasizes efficiency and collaboration. If a defect is quickly resolved within the same iteration, documenting it formally may not add value.

Evaluation of Options:

A. Never:

Incorrect. Agile allows flexibility; not all defects require formal reports.

B. If the defect can be fixed in the same iteration in which it was found:

Correct. Aligns with Agile principles of immediacy and adaptability, minimizing overhead (Syllabus section TM-1.2.4).

C. If the defect can be fixed in a later hardening sprint:

Incorrect. Documentation is needed if a defect remains unresolved within the iteration.

D. If the defect must be fixed by another team:

Incorrect. Clear documentation is critical for external team collaboration.

Syllabus Alignment:ISTQB Advanced Test Management highlights Agile principles, including flexibility in defect reporting based on project needs (TM-1.2.4).

Role of Risk Analysis in Test Analysis:

Risk analysis identifies areas with the highest likelihood and impact of failure, enabling the test team to focus on critical functionalities.

It is used to determine test conditions that must be addressed to mitigate risks effectively.

Evaluation of Options:

Ais incorrect as determining test execution order happens during test execution, not analysis.

Bis correct because selecting test conditions is part of test analysis influenced by risk levels.

Crelates to reporting and is unrelated to test analysis.

Dpertains to defect management, not test analysis.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

This aligns with risk-based testing as described in "Risk Analysis and Risk-Based Testing" (TM-1.3.1)​​.
