K4 TM-1.3.4

Risks have been identified for a project and analyzed using a quantitative method, with the following results for risk likelihood and risk impact.

Which set of testing activities would be the best to mitigate these risks?

Select ONE option.

  • A.

    Address risk A as a high priority by testing an early prototype with business stakeholders, then address risk C by introducing reviews. No testing is planned to mitigate risks B and D.

  • B.

    Execute tests addressing risk A by documentation review, and risk C with black-box testing. Then, address risks B and D with white-box testing.

  • C.

    Mitigate risks by testing risk B and C first with exploratory testing, then test risk A with confirmation testing. Test Risk D as time allows.

  • D.

    Mitigate risks by testing risk A and risk B by testing with business stakeholders using an early prototype and risk D with non-functional testing. Accept risk C without explicit testing.

Q12
K4 TM-1.3.4

Assume you are in a project that develops a web application for online banking. The project is following an Agile SDLC and has sprints of two weeks each. The application has several features, such as account management, fund transfer, bill payment, and loan application. Each feature has different levels of security, usability, and performance risks.

You have a test team of six members with different skills and experience.

Based on this scenario, how would you select appropriate test activities to mitigate risks according to their risk level?

Select ONE option.

  • A.

    Use static testing and dynamic testing for all features but allocate more test effort and use more thorough test techniques for the features with higher risk levels. Assign the most qualified testers to the features with the highest risk levels. Use reviews and regression testing to ensure quality assurance.

  • B.

    Use static testing for the features with lower risk levels and dynamic testing for the features with higher risk levels. Assign the testers randomly to the features regardless of their skills and experience. Use reviews and regression testing to ensure quality assurance.

  • C.

    Use dynamic testing only for the features with higher risk levels and skip testing for the features with lower risk levels. Assign the testers based on their availability and preference. Use reviews and regression testing to ensure quality assurance.

  • D.

    Use static testing only for the features with higher risk levels and skip testing for the features with lower risk levels. Assign the testers based on their seniority and rank. Use reviews and regression testing to ensure quality assurance.
