NEW QUESTION # 28
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?

NEW QUESTION # 38
You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features.
There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birth date, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password.
A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department.
Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console.
You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA.
Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis?
- A. The authentication system grants access to a normal user with a wrong password
- B. The authentication system grants access to a special user with a wrong password
- C. The late delivery of the authentication feature to the test team causes delays in the start of test execution and this could result in a shorter test period
- D. The authentication system denies access for a special user with a wrong password, but doesn't display a special warning on the system console

Assume you are the Test Manager in charge of independent testing for avionics applications.
You are in charge of testing for a project to implement three different CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item):
- a BOOT-X CSCI that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard
- a DIAG-X CSCI that must be certified at level C of the DO-178B standard
- a DRIV-X CSCI that must be certified at level A of the DO-178B standard These are three different software modules written in C language to run on a specific hardware platform.
You have been asked to select a single code coverage tool to perform the mandatory code coverage measurements, in order to meet the structural coverage criteria prescribed by the DO-178B standard. This tool must be qualified as a verification tool under DO-178B.
Since there are significant budget constraints to purchase this tool, you are evaluating an open-source tool that is able to provide different types of code coverage. This tool meets perfectly your technical needs in terms of the programming language and the specific hardware platform (it supports also the specific C- compiler).
The source code of the tool is available.
Your team could easily customize the tool to meet the project needs. This tool is not qualified as a verification tool under the DO-178B.
Which of the following are the three main concerns related to that open-source tool selection?

Assume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerce application.
The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability is provided through a set of web services.
The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service Level Agreements) like the following:
SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five seconds under a load of up-to 5000 concurrent users
The main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specification document will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testing strategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count on a well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior under various load levels produced by the system architect.
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones to achieve the test objectives in this scenario?
- A. Perform unit performance testing for each single web service
- B. Perform system performance testing, consisting of several performance testing sessions, to verify if all the SLAs have been met
- C. Monitor the SLAs after the system has been released into the production environment
