ASTQB ISTQB-Advanced-Lev1 Valid Test : ISTQB Advanced Level Test manager Exam

The aircrew of a national air defence force has requested changes to the existing aviation software that provides on-board information about the combat environment. The air force is currently engaged in a peace-keeping mission in another country and has come under unexpected threats. The development life cycle is the V model. The software house needs to change their test management process to ensure delivery at the right time and quality. The software changes are coming in as the aircrew request them, as a result of their engagements with hostile forces. The aircrew have requested that the changes are made as quickly as
possible. The project manager has decided to revisit the test management process. The changes will come as small change requests. The team have worked on the project for over 25 years, with little staff turnover. Which of the following test measures should be emphasised during the crisis?
I. Readiness of the test environment for each run.
II. Number of high-priority defects being found.
III. Number of defects being found per tester.
IV. Number of hours overtime being worked by staff.
V. Number of change requests tested versus number passed.

• A. I, II and V
• B. II, III and IV
• C. I, II and III
• D. II, III and V

A car manufacturer is updating its airbag deployment system for its family cars. It has increased the number of airbags from four to nine.
This has necessitated an upgrade to the airbag control software (ACS) to allow deployment of the extra airbags where appropriate.
The car manufacturer receives information from on-board sensors. From this, it calculates the amount of deployment needed (minimal, medium and full), and from which airbag(s).
For this upgrade, it will receive information from extra sensors to be used in its calculations.
The car manufacturer employs its own in-house software development team. It uses the V model for its software development.
There are four stages of testing, from unit through to factory acceptance testing.
The development team is made up of project, programming and test managers.
The programmers use object-oriented methods for development.
The car manufacturer wishes to be first to market with the extra airbags, which will allow it to increase the safety ratings for its family cars, thereby increasing sales in a very competitive market.
Which of the following is a risk associated with the development approach?

• A. The calculations may become overly complex due to the increase in the number of sensors.
• B. Information hiding may pose extra testing challenges.
• C. Testers may not be able to write the factory acceptance tests at the start of development
• D. System testing may take longer than planned.

IEEE 10440-1993 specifies a standard for defect reporting.
Which of the following attributes should be in a defect report as per ISTQB Syllabus?

• A. Accurate. Does not have to be complete, concise or objective.
• B. Complete and objective. Does not have to be accurate.
• C. Compete and accurate. Does not have to be concise or objective.
• D. Complete, concise, accurate and objective report.

Which of the following is NOT a true statement?

• A. Scripted / automated tests can be executed faster during test execution phase.
• B. Cost benefit analysis should be done before purchasing test tools and analysis should show a good potential return on investment.
• C. Maintenance fees, support fees, licensing fees and learning curve should be considered before introducing test tools to an organization.
• D. Bid bang approach is the best way to rollout test tools to an organization.

Which of the following are "white-box" test techniques?
I. Decision Testing
II. Condition Testing
III. LCSAJ (loop testing)
IV. State transition testing

• A. All of the above
• B. I, II true.III, IV false
• C. I, III, IV true, II false
• D. I, II, III true, IV false
