• A. Some, but not all, development activities have corresponding test activities.
• B. Analysis and design of tests begins as soon as development is completed.
• C. Each test level has test objectives specific to that level.
• D. All document reviews involve the development team.

Since the system is in the medical domain and therefore in the safety critical area, testing needs to be rigorous and evidence is required that the system has been adequately tested. Identify THREE measures that would typically be part of the test approach in this domain and which are not always applicable in other domains! 1 credit

• A. Master test planning
• B. Non-functional testing
• C. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) sessions
• D. Test design techniques
• E. Reviews
• F. Traceability to requirements
• G. High level of documentation

A test log is one of the documents that need to be produced in this domain in order to provide evidence of testing. However, the level of detail of test logs can vary. Which of the following is NOT an influencing factor for the level of detail of the test logs being produced? 1 credit

• A. Test level
• B. Experience level of testers
• C. Regulatory requirements
• D. Level of test execution automation

Risks should be constantly reviewed. Given the current situation, which one of the following factors is most likely to lead to a revised view of product risk? 3 credits

• A. The method used for test estimation is not accurate enough and hence the money spent on testing exceeded its budget.
• B. The concerns over the user interface may lead to changes to the interface which cannot be implemented by development in time for the second test iteration.
• C. The concerns over the user interface raises the likelihood of a risk in that area and increases the amount of test effort needed for the user interface, thereby limiting the test effort available for other parts of the test management tool.
• D. The delivery of the application without the interface changes may upset the user community.

• A. Most visible to stakeholders
• B. Low costs actions first
• C. Synchronized with the overall long-term organizational strategy
