Question #: 79
Topic #: 3

[All CTAL-TM_Syll2012 Questions]

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? K4 3 credits

SMS systems can be tricky too, don’t underestimate them!

Risk weighting is key, but it can be misleading if not interpreted correctly.

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought BRM would be higher risk.

Totally agree, CRM systems usually have a lot of moving parts.

Looks like the CRM is the riskiest based on the scores!

I vaguely remember that the BRM system had a lot of critical bugs in our last practice, so it could be a contender for the highest risk, but I'm not entirely confident.

I feel like the SOA middleware might be the riskiest based on its central role, but I need to double-check the risk scores in the table.

I think we practiced a similar question where the CRM system had the most issues, but I can't recall the exact scores from that exercise.

I remember we discussed how risk weighting can change the perspective on test results, but I'm not sure which subsystem had the highest risk score.

Based on the information provided, the subsystem with the highest risk score is the riskiest. So I'd say the answer is the subsystem with the risk score closest to 1.

I'm a bit confused by the risk weighting. Does that mean the higher the score, the riskier the subsystem? Or is it the other way around?

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The table shows the risk scores for each subsystem, with the highest risk at 1 and the lowest at 0.04. We just need to identify which subsystem has the highest risk score.
