Actual exam question for iSQI's CTAL-TM_Syll2012 exam
Question #: 70
Topic #: 3
[All CTAL-TM_Syll2012 Questions]

In the test strategy document your organization declares:

- To adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testing. unit, integration and system testing

- To use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of testing The following is an excerpt of the ''approach'' section for the system test plan document of a new project:

''Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test analysis and test design.

Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed (passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected).'' In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described. Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?

Looks like the system test plan is inconsistent with the risk-based strategy.

Wait, no code coverage metrics? That’s surprising!

The plan only uses manual tests, which seems limiting.

I’m a bit confused about the relationship between risk-based and regression testing; I thought they could coexist, but this plan seems to suggest otherwise.

I feel like we had a practice question similar to this, and I think the metrics mentioned might not fully support either strategy.

I think the test plan's focus on manual testing might conflict with the regression-averse strategy, but I need to double-check that.

I remember we discussed the V-model and how it emphasizes testing at each stage, but I'm not sure if manual testing aligns with the risk-based strategy.

Alright, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is to focus on the two specific elements of the test strategy - risk-based and regression testing. The system test plan doesn't mention anything about regression testing, so that's clearly inconsistent. And the lack of metrics like code coverage suggests the risk-based approach isn't being followed either. I'm going with option D on this one.

I'm a bit confused by this one. The question mentions a "blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy", but the system test plan doesn't seem to address that at all. I'm not sure how to evaluate the consistency there.

Okay, let's see here. The test strategy calls for a V-model lifecycle with three levels of testing - unit, integration, and system. But the system test plan says they'll only be doing manual testing and doing the planning, analysis, and design in parallel with execution. That doesn't seem quite aligned with the strategy.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The question is asking us to analyze the consistency between the system test plan and the overall test strategy. I'll need to carefully review the details provided and think through the implications.

I'm pretty solid on inline rules here, but I might second guess if external or internal has precedence.

So, they're using the 'shoot from the hip' testing strategy, huh? I guess they're going for the 'fast and furious' approach to quality. What could possibly go wrong?

Wait, they're not even going to try to automate any of the tests? This is like going back to the stone age of software testing. Good luck with that!

Basic metrics? Come on, how are they going to measure the effectiveness of their testing without code coverage and other metrics? I smell a recipe for disaster.

Manual testing only? That's a bold move, especially with a risk-based and regression-averse strategy. I hope they have some skilled testers on the team.

The approach in the system test plan seems a bit rushed, with test planning, analysis, and design happening in parallel with test execution. Not sure that's the best way to ensure quality.
