You can count on well-written requirements, but you can’t count on an adequate contribution of the stakeholders to the quality risk analysis. You have to mitigate the insufficient contribution of the stakeholders because the risk-based testing approach shall minimize the product risks. Your test team has one expert tester in security testing.

Test Management
You are managing the system testing for a SOA based system. The integrated system consists of several subsystems:
- a SOA middleware
- a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system
- a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system
- a SMS (Subscriber Management System) system
and you performed a risk analysis based on these subsystems.
At the end of the scheduled period for test execution you produce a first classical report based on the traditional metrics of testing. Test pass/fail status and bug status (open/resolved) That table provides you a distorted picture of the quality risk, because there is no indication of the risk level of the failed tests, the tests not run, or the open bugs. Thus, you produce the following table to solve this distortion issue:

In the table above, where you have introduced the concept of risk weighting, the highest risk test or bug report has a score of 1, while the lowest risk test or bug report has a score of 0.04.
Which of the following subsystems, based on the risk scores of the table, is most risky?

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?

Your company is installing a third-party enterprise-wide business software package. This is the first time the company has done anything like this.
Which technique would be the best one to use to estimate the testing effort? [3]
You have done a comprehensive risk analysis. You have involved the appropriate people in assessing the risks and determining the likelihood and impact of those risks. You have been testing for three months and have been able to mitigate 75% of the high risk items. You have two weeks left in testing and you now do not expect to be able to complete all the items on the high-risk
mitigation list, never mind any from the medium or low-risk lists.
What is the most effective action you should take? [3]
Which of the following is likely to occur if reviewers do not have an adequate level of technical knowledge? [1]
Which of the following statements is true regarding documentation standards? [2]
Which of the following organizational structures would be considered unorthodox? [1]
