Consider the following skills assessment spreadsheet for your test team (consisting of four team members):

This spreadsheet has three sections: technical expertise, testing skills and professionalism.

The skill levels for each skill area for both the ''technical expertise'' and ''testing skills'' sections have been rated on a four-point scale:

- E (Expert): indicates that a person has expert knowledge and experience in the skill area

- B (Beginner): indicates that a person has some knowledge and experience in the skill area but he/she is not autonomous

- W (Wants to learn): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill area but he/she wants to learn that skill

- NI (Not Interested): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill area and he/she is not interested to learn that skill

The skill levels for each skill area of the ''professionalism'' section have been rated on a three point scale (H=High, M=Medium, L=Low).

You are using this skills assessment spreadsheet in order to define a training development plan for your test team.

Your objective is to fill the skill gaps by having at least a team member rated as an expert for each skill identified for the ''technical expertise'' and ''testing skills'' sections, and with the ability to train the other team members.

Considering the budget constraints you can send only one person to a training course.

Based only on the given information, which of the following answers would you expect to be the best option to achieve your objective?

K4 3 credits

You are the Test Manager of a project that adopts a V-model with four formal levels of testing.

unit, integration, system and acceptance testing.

On this project reviews have been conducted for each development phase prior to testing, which is to say that reviews of requirements, functional specification, high-level design, low-level design and code have been performed prior to testing.

Assume that no requirements defects have been reported after the release of the product. Which TWO of the following metrics do you need in order to evaluate the requirements reviews in terms of phase containment effectiveness?

Which of the following factors could negatively influence a review?

K2 1 credit

You are a Test Manager working for a software organization where reviews have never been applied. After a meeting with your managers examining a business case for reviews, (including their costs, benefits, and potential issues), the management finally decides to adopt formal reviews for future projects.

You have been given a budget that you have spent to provide training in the review process and to introduce the review process on a pilot project.

On that pilot project the introduction of reviews has been very positive in terms of positive involvement from all the participants. All the reviews applied to different documents have been very effective for their purposes (especially at revealing defects).

Which of the following answers describes an important success factor for the introduction of formal reviews which is missing in this scenario?

3. A typical outcome of an audit includes observations and recommendations, corrective actions and a pass/fail assessment

4. An audit is not the appropriate mechanism to use at the code review in order to detect defects prior to dynamic testing

Which of the following statements is true?
