‘Safe as Houses’ is a company that specializes in home security software, including alarm systems,

surveillance cameras and other forms of deterrence.

It is currently developing the software for a device which simulates an active television, producing sound and

light images that suggest someone is home watching the television. ‘Safe as Houses’ recently won a lucrative

contract to supply the software to ‘Smart Alarms’, who will be manufacturing the hardware devices. Sound will

be created using actual television and film archives, licensed through a third-party supplier, ‘Silver Sound Ltd’. A

user interface will be developed in house to allow the customer to choose sound tracks.

The software will be delivered as a program of work, consisting of three projects. Project 1 will develop the

software for the light images, Project 2 will develop the sound system and Project 3 will integrate the two using

hardware prototypes supplied from ‘Smart Alarms’. The program will conclude with ‘Smart Alarms’ performing

User Acceptance testing in usability labs.

The ‘Safe as Houses’ test team has experience in testing alarm and surveillance systems but lacks experience

in testing light imagery software. The organizational test policy includes the following objectives:

1. Exploratory testing should be used to augment more formal, structured testing within constraints of time and

budget

2. Test automation tools should be purchased and employed to maximize the breadth and efficiency of

regression testing

The Program risk register currently includes the following risks:

Refer to SCENARIO. You are writing the Master Test Plan for Project 2 and must include a section

documenting project risks that you believe could impact testing along with how, as Test Manager, you propose

to manage each risk.

Which one of the following is the MOST appropriate entry for the Master Test Plan for RISK 4 “The user

interface software for the sound systems will be delivered late into testing”?

moisture on the windshield. Depending on the information returned from the sensors, the wipers will be turned

on at one of the following speeds: slow intermittent, medium intermittent, fast intermittent, slow constant,

medium constant, fast constant. Your team has identified the following test condition:

Test Condition 1.1.1 - Verify that the windshield wipers can go from slow constant to fast constant speed when

the amount of moisture increases appropriately.

Your team has defined the following steps for a test case for this test condition:

1. Set the moisture sensor to request slow constant

2. Increase the moisture to set the sensor to request fast constant

3. Verify that the wipers respond with fast constant speed

Given this information, which of the following statements is correct?

Which one of the following metrics would be MOST suitable for helping to determine whether test analysis and design is complete?

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?
