After a selection process you have selected a test management tool that is going be
introduced in your organization and used by your test team in a pilot project.
You have already identified the member of your test team who will be the administrator of
the tool, since he/she has a significant experience with the administration of test
management tools and so he/she is able to make effective and efficient up-front decisions
about "how" the tool will be used. You have also developed a training plan for the other
members of your test team.
In collaboration with the administrator of the tool you have also devised standard ways of
managing, storing and maintaining the tool and its assets including backup/restore
procedures.
You have also analyzed standard formats supported by the tool (CSV, XLS, XML, etc.) to
export, import and archive all the information managed by the tool itself (requirements, test
case specifications, test plans etc.) for compliance with the most important test
management tools, in order to minimize the impacts of migrating this information to a new
tool that could replace the existing one in the future.

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?

Which of the following are the three main concerns related to that open-source tool selection?
- A. Does the tool have a good general usability?
- B. Is the installation procedure of the tool easy?
- C. Does the tool support all the types of code coverage required from the three levels A, B, C of the DO-
178B standard? - D. Is the licensing scheme of the tool compatible with the confidentiality needs of the avionics company?

In the test strategy document your organization declares:
- To adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testing unit, integration and system testing
- To use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of testing The following is an excerpt of the "approach" section for the system test plan document of a new project:
"Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test analysis and test design.
Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed (passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected)." In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.
Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?
- A. The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the risk-based testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the regression testing strategy
- B. The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the test strategy
- C. The approach described the system test plan document is inconsistent with both the risk-based and regression testing strategies
