Discuss ISQI CTAL-TM_Syll2012 Exam Topic 3 Question 79

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!

Raymon 11 months ago

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

Elin 11 months ago

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

Peggie 11 months ago

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

Tracey 11 months ago

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

Buck 12 months ago

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.

Tawny 12 months ago

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.

Youlanda 12 months ago

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.

Azalee 1 year ago

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.

Fallon 1 year ago

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.

Dominic 1 year ago

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?

Judy 1 year ago

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.

Tenesha 1 year ago

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the risk weighting concept correctly before answering.

Wait, is this a trick question? What if the riskiest subsystem is the one that's not even listed?

I hope the correct answer isn't 'All of the above'. That would be a real SOA-p opera!

C: Actually, the SMS system has the highest risk score according to the table.

B: I think it's the BRM system that poses the highest risk.

A: The most risky subsystem based on the risk scores is the CRM system.

Franchesca 1 year ago

This is a tricky one. I'll need to analyze that table carefully to find the riskiest subsystem.

Hmm, the risk weighting table looks interesting. I bet the subsystem with the highest risk score is the culprit.

Erick 2 years ago

Why do you think BRM is the most risky?

Ardella 2 years ago

I disagree, I believe the most risky subsystem is the BRM.

Raul 2 years ago

Alright, time to put my testing knowledge to the test! Let's see what this SOA system has in store for us.

I see your point, but I still think the SOA middleware poses the highest risk in this scenario.

I think based on the risk scores, the CRM system seems to be the most risky.
