Actual exam question for iSQI's CTAL-TM_Syll2012 exam

Question #: 39
Topic #: 1

[All CTAL-TM_Syll2012 Questions]

Consider an information system of a Pay-Tv company based on a SOA architecture.

The integrated system currently consists of three core systems:

- a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system

- a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system

- a CAS (Conditional Access System) system all of them communicating with SOA Middleware.

You have been asked to manage the testing activities for the integration of two additional off-theshelf systems from two different vendors: a SMS (Short Message Service) server and an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system.

Assume that there is a high likelihood that the two off-the-shelf systems will be low-quality and that you have a clear proof that the testing performed by the two vendors on their systems has been unsystematic and unprofessional. This obviously leads to higher quality risk for the overall integrated system.

You are the Test Manager of this project. Your main goal is to plan for testing activities to mitigate this risk.

Which of the following answers best describes the test activities (assuming it is possible to perform all of them) you should plan for?

K4 3 credits

AYou should plan for an informal and minimal acceptance test of the two off-the-shelf systems and then a single end-to-end test of the overall integrated system

BYou should directly plan for a single end-to-end test focused on end-to-end tests of the overall integrated system without an acceptance test of the two off-the-shelf systems

CYou should plan for two levels: a system integration test and an end-to-end test of the overall integrated system

DYou should plan for adequate re-testing of both the systems followed by a system integration test and an end-to-end test of the overall integrated system

Option B seems risky without any acceptance testing.

Definitely need more than just a minimal test!

Wait, are we really trusting those vendors after their testing?

I recall a practice question where we had to consider the risks of low-quality systems. It seems like we should definitely plan for more comprehensive tests than just minimal acceptance.

I feel like option D makes the most sense since it emphasizes re-testing and multiple testing levels, but I’m not confident about the specifics.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think we might need to do more than just a single end-to-end test. Maybe a system integration test would help catch issues earlier?

I remember we discussed the importance of thorough testing when integrating new systems, especially if they have a history of low quality.

I think the answer is A. The question is asking about the certificate type needed to configure the vault for LDAP over SSL, and the CA certificate that signed the certificate used by the External Directory would be the appropriate one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to double-check the Cisco documentation to make sure I have the right tenant for in-band management.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about the different alert states. I'll have to think this through carefully. Maybe I can eliminate a couple of the options that don't seem quite right.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to weigh the benefits of public access against the security and privacy concerns that could arise.

I'm with Lisbeth on this one. Option D is the only way to ensure we don't end up with a system that's held together by duct tape and prayers. Testing, testing, and more testing!

Option D is definitely the way to go. We need to make sure those off-the-shelf systems are thoroughly re-tested before integrating them.

Ha! 'Unsystematic and unprofessional' testing by the vendors? Sounds like they hired my cousin to do it. Option D is the way to go, no doubt.

I'm torn between C and D. While C covers the key testing levels, D seems more comprehensive to address the quality concerns. Hmm, better safe than sorry, I'll go with D.

User 3: Agreed, option D seems more comprehensive. Let's plan for adequate re-testing of both systems followed by the system integration test and end-to-end test.

Definitely option D. With the known quality issues of the off-the-shelf systems, we need to thoroughly retest them before integrating. A system integration test and end-to-end test are crucial to ensure the overall system works as expected.
