BCS TM12 Exam Questions

Based on the historical data of 5 past and similar projects, you have calculated these average numbers of defects detected in system testing:

- for each 10000 LOC (lines of code), 200 defects

- for each person-month of development team effort, 49 defects

You want to use this information to perform estimation for a new project.

The project manager tells you that he/she has estimated 20000 new LOC for this new project.

Four developers work for four months on this project before system testing.

During system testing, 797 defects are discovered.

Assume that the system test of this new project is using the same amount of work as spent in the past projects.

Based on this information only, which of the following statement is certainly true about this project?

Number of correct responses: 1

You are estimating the effort for the integration testing activities of a new project. Consider the following factors, which can affect that estimation:

Availability of re-usable test systems and documentation from previous, similar projects

Unexpected timing of components arrival

Stability of the integration test team (no turnover)

Many and geographically distributed sub-teams

Which of the following statements is true?

Number of correct responses: 1

During the system testing phase a tester from your test team observes a failure in the system under test and he/she decides to create an incident report. The incident report is currently in a ''new'' state, indicating it needs to be investigated.

Which THREE of the following information items can't yet be present in the incident report?

Number of correct responses: 3

(2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)

Which of the following information would you expect to be the most useful to perform a defect clustering analysis?

Number of correct responses: 1

Consider the following statements describing the importance of improving the test process:

Test process improvement is important because being focused only on the test process it can provide recommendations to improve the test process itself, but it can't indicate or suggest improvement to areas of the development process

Test process improvement is important because it is much more effective than software process improvement to improve the quality of a software system

Test process improvement is important because several process improvement models (STEP, TPI Next, TMMi) have been developed over the years

Test process improvement is important because every organization, regardless of the context, should always achieve the maximum level of maturity of testing described in the test improvement models such as TMMi

Which of the following answers is correct?

Number of correct responses: 1
