You are the Test Manager of a four-person test team working for a small distribution company with a single warehouse. Your team has been working with a third party development team on a new
inventory management system. The company expects this system to generate approximately one million dollars per annum in profits for the company. Early in the project, various risks were
identified, and steps taken to mitigate those risks.
For example, you sent your test team for training on the new system, and upgraded the test environment. There are still some lingering risks that have not been addressed, but they have been
determined to have a low chance of occurring, with minimal impact if they do occur.
What would be the best option to mitigate these remaining risks? [3]
Your Project Manager has challenged you to come up with a process improvement strategy using the IDEAL model.
Which step within the process defines the success criteria? [2]
Which of the following is a typical use of risk analysis? [1]
You have been carefully monitoring the progress of testing for your project. You have been using the established traceability to verify that the requirements and test
conditions are being adequately addressed. The test team is proceeding well in their test case execution and you can see that you are achieving about 80% coverage of
the test conditions per the traceability mapping in your test management system. You have seen a number of defects being logged against test conditions that are failing,
but you do not see a mapping of the test cases to those conditions.
What is likely to be occurring in the testing area that is causing the traceability to break down? [2]
