Question 18

Test Management

You are the Test Manager of a new project aimed at developing a software system that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard. The project will follow a V-Model software development life cycle and it will have four formal levels of testing: component, integration, system and acceptance testing.

You must produce the test plan documentation for this project by providing an adequate coordination across the four levels of testing in order to assure auditability.

Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe how to organize the test plan?

Number of correct responses: 1

K32 credits

Options:

A.

Produce a single master test plan that covers in detail all four levels, describing the particular activities for all test levels

B.

Produce a master test plan that covers three levels (component, integration, system test) and a separate acceptance test plan

C.

Produce a master test plan describing the relationship between the four levels, and four separate detailed level test plans, one for each level

D.

Produce four separate detailed level test plans, one for each level, without a master test plan

Question 20

Test Management

You are the Test Manager on a project following an iterative life-cycle model. The project should consist of nine iterations of one month duration each. It is planned to develop the most important features to have a stable core of the application in the first three iterations and to add the additional features in the last six iterations.

At the beginning of the first iteration, only a draft version of the requirements specification document for the core features is available. Assume that during each of the first three iterations, the chosen features are fully completed and unit tested.

Which of the following statements is true in this context?

Number of correct responses: 1

K43 credits

Options:

A.

The system test phase should start when all the requirements are frozen

B.

You should allocate a large effort for system testing during the first three iterations

C.

You should allocate all the effort for the system test phase only in the last iteration

D.

You should apply the same test strategy as used in a sequential life cycle model
