NEW QUESTION # 76
What is a "depth-first" risk-based testing technique? [1]
- A. Non-functional test cases are executed first
- B. Lowest risk test cases are executed first
- C. All risk items are tested at least once
- D. Highest risk test cases are executed first
Answer: D
Explanation:
A depth-first risk-based testing technique is a method of prioritizing and executing test cases based on the risk level of the features or functions to be tested. In this technique, the test cases with the highest risk are executed first, followed by the test cases with lower risks. This ensures that the most critical and likely areas of failure are tested thoroughly and early in the testing process.

NEW QUESTION # 83
Which technique will assist you in determining targeted improvement areas to reduce the number of defects?
[1]
- A. Test coverage assessment
- B. Defect triage
- C. Pareto analysis
- D. Cost of quality analysis
Answer: C
Explanation:
The technique that will assist you in determining targeted improvement areas to reduce the number of defects is Pareto analysis. This is because Pareto analysis is a method of identifying and prioritizing the most significant causes of defects, based on the principle that 80% of the problems are caused by 20% of the causes.
By applying Pareto analysis, you can focus on the improvement areas that will have the most impact on reducing the number of defects.

NEW QUESTION # 85
Assume you are working on a CAS (Conditional Access System) for Pay-TV that allows the access, selection and transfer of services and media to authorized users. Authorized users can choose their services through different channels: Web Customer Portal, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), Call Centre and SMS. The system uses a Smart Card to receive and decrypt the broadcasted encrypted control words which allow decrypting pay-per-view TV. Every authorized user must have a Smart Card and a Set-Top Box to view the contents.
The following is an excerpt from the product risk analysis document: Both likelihood and impact have been rated on the following scale: (1 - Very low, 2 - Low, 3 - Medium, 4 - High, 5 - Very High).
The required test environment and code have been delivered. All test cases for each identified product risk item have been written and are ready to be executed. The Database used to contain the Smart Cards is empty and so only new Smart Cards can be used during test execution.
A Smart Card can only be activated if it has been previously pre-activated. This means the post-conditions for the execution of the test cases to test the pre-activation of the Smart Card are the pre-conditions for activation of the Smart Card.

NEW QUESTION # 87
Improving the Testing Process
Consider the following statements describing the importance of improving the test process:
I. Test process improvement is important because being focused only on the test process it can provide recommendations to improve the test process itself, but it can't indicate or suggest improvement to areas of the development process II. Test process improvement is important because it is much more effective than software process improvement to improve the quality of a software system III. Test process improvement is important because several process improvement models (STEP, TPI Next, TMMi) have been developed over the years IV. Test process improvement is important because every organization, regardless of the context, should always achieve the maximum level of maturity of testing described in the test improvement models such as TMMi Which of the following answers is correct?

NEW QUESTION # 90
Most managers in your company consider the efforts of your test team valuable, while others see comprehensive testing as an unnecessary cost overhead to the SDLC.
What action could the Test Manager take to quantify the value of testing to the organization? [3]
- A. Determine the cost of external failures.
- B. Develop metrics that illustrate planned and actual testing hours.
- C. Demonstrate the role QA has in similar size organizations.
- D. Review the Test Plan with the management team.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Determining the cost of external failures involves analyzing the impact of defects that escape into production.
This includes the direct costs associated with fixing the defects, as well as the indirect costs such as customer dissatisfaction, damage to the company's reputation, and potential loss of business. By quantifying these costs, the Test Manager can illustrate the financial benefits of comprehensive testing in preventing high-cost external failures, thereby demonstrating its value as an investment rather than a cost overhead.
References:The ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager documents provide guidelines on how to establish and use metrics to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of the testing process, including the cost of quality and the Return on Investment (ROI) for testing activities. These references support the rationale behind choosing option C as the verified answer.
