Discuss BCS TM12 Exam Topic 9 Question 40

In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of a project you are working on as Test Manager.

You have identified as one of the main project risks, that the requirements specification will still be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase.

Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test preparation.

You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the same organization.

Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at mitigating this risk?

Number of correct responses: 1

ADon't prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the new features don't introduce regression

BMake reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight tests that can be easily updated during test execution

CDon't design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that test execution is blocked due to incomplete requirements

DEven if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project manager without preparing any tests

Option A is just asking for trouble, we need some tests in place!

Escalating the risk seems unnecessary if we can test what we have.

Wait, are we really just going to assume things? Sounds risky.

Based on my understanding, QFD is a structured approach to design that focuses on incorporating customer needs. So I'm pretty sure the answer is D, linking customer requirements to product features.

The key here is that the watch diff command lets you automatically rerun a command and see the changes. That's a really handy tool for sysadmins and developers who need to monitor things closely. I'm confident that's the right answer.

I feel uncertain; I thought 0.9332 sounds familiar from our earlier exercises, but I don't recall the exact details.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should just trust the macro or if I need to do some additional validation. I'll have to think this through carefully.

No problem, this is straightforward. I'll just plug the numbers into the learning curve formula and solve for the rate. Should be a quick calculation.

This question is asking about the best business architecture perspective to provide input for SOA services orchestration and reusability. I think the key is to focus on mapping the business to the capabilities needed, so I'd go with option B - Business process to capability mapping.
