NEW QUESTION # 80
Your test team is in the process of completing final regression testing one week before the release date. One of your staff has just uncovered a critical defect that causes data corruption.
What should you do? [2]
- A. Update the risks in your test plan to cover data corruption issues and update your test cases to be sure you test for this in the future
- B. Write a high priority defect and follow the escalation communication plan as defined in your test plan
- C. Write a high priority defect and call the business stakeholders to warn them about it
- D. Update the weekly status charts and change the project status to red
Answer: B
Explanation:
The best action that you should take in this situation is to write a high priority defect and follow the escalation communication plan as defined in your test plan. This is because a critical defect that causes data corruption is a serious issue that can affect the quality, functionality, and reliability of the system, and it needs to be reported and resolved as soon as possible. By writing a high priority defect, you can document the details and the impact of the defect, and alert the development team and the project manager about it. By following the escalation communication plan, you can ensure that the defect is communicated to the appropriate stakeholders, such as the business sponsors, the customers, or the senior management, in a timely and effective manner, and that the necessary actions are taken to address the defect.

Which of the following software characteristics are possibly revealed through the application of a open source static analysis tool?
- A. Memory leaks
- B. Timing dependencies
- C. Coding standard violations
- D. Concurrency thresholds
Answer: C
Explanation:
A static analysis tool is a software tool that analyzes the source code of a program without executing it. It can detect various software characteristics, such as syntax errors, potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, code quality, and coding standard violations. Coding standard violations are deviations from the agreed or recommended rules and conventions for writing source code, such as naming, indentation, formatting, commenting, and complexity. A static analysis tool can check the source code against a predefined or customized coding standard and report any violations. Coding standard violations can affect the readability, maintainability, and portability of the code, and can also introduce defects or inconsistencies.

NEW QUESTION # 83
You are the Test Manager of a risk-based testing effort. You develop the following graph to show residual risk. Assume that "Risks mitigated" represents passed tests and "Risks not mitigated" represents failed tests and other discovered failures.
Which of the following answers best represents what the graph shows? [3]
- A. Project is ahead of schedule due to number of risks addressed
- B. Project is on schedule based on total number of test cases executed
- C. Project is at risk due to the number of failed tests
- D. Project is behind schedule based on bug fix rate
Answer: C
Explanation:
The graph indicates that a significant portion of risks, 29%, have not been mitigated, which suggests that these are either failed tests or other discovered failures. This level of unmitigated risk puts the project at risk, as it implies that there are still substantial issues that need to be addressed.
Reference:
The ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager documents outline the importance of risk-based testing and the interpretation of residual risk graphs. These graphs are used to communicate the current status of risk mitigation efforts in the project, and a high percentage of unmitigated risks is a clear indicator of potential problems1.

NEW QUESTION # 85
You have been asked to make a recommendation on deployment readiness on the software your team has been testing.You have the following metrics:
Given this information what is a critical metric you are missing?
- A. Residual risk
- B. Number of defects outstanding
- C. Number of tests passed
- D. Planned vs actual cost of testing
Answer: A
Explanation:
* Context Analysis:
* Deployment readiness depends on understanding the risk of releasing the software. The metrics provided include execution, design, defect counts, and coverage but do not quantifyresidual risk, which reflects remaining risks post-testing.
* Evaluation of Options:
* A. Number of tests passed:
* Incorrect. While important, it doesn't directly provide insight into the remaining risk.
* B. Number of defects outstanding:
* Incorrect. Though critical, it's only one aspect of assessing readiness and doesn't provide the full picture of residual risk.
* C. Residual risk:
* Correct. Residual risk quantifies untested areas and unresolved issues, vital for decision- making.
* D. Planned vs actual cost of testing:
* Incorrect. While useful for process evaluation, it's not directly tied to deployment readiness.
* Syllabus Alignment:
* The syllabus emphasizes risk-based approaches, highlighting residual risk as a critical deployment readiness metric (TM-1.3.4).

NEW QUESTION # 90
Your last project was released three months ago and used a risk-based approach. In production, a number of serious failures in low risk areas have occurred.
What is the most important lesson to be learned from this information? [2]
- A. The project manager should have set stakeholder expectations for serious failures.
- B. Future projects should test the lower risk areas first.
- C. A broader cross-functional team should contribute to the risk analysis.
- D. The "lessons learned" session should have been conducted prior to deployment.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The most important lesson to be learned from this information is that a broader cross-functional team should contribute to the risk analysis. This is because the risk analysis is the process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing the risks that may affect the quality of the system, and allocating testing resources accordingly. A broader cross-functional team can provide different perspectives, expertise, and experience to the risk analysis, and help to identify and evaluate the risks more accurately and comprehensively. This can reduce the likelihood of overlooking or underestimating some risks, and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the risk-based testing approach.
