ISTQB Exam ATM Topic 1 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATM exam

Question #: 21
Topic #: 1

[All ATM 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

Wait, the SMS system has a max score of 1.0? Looks like someone's been texting a little too much during testing. Time to put the phones down and focus!

B: Yeah, we need to pay more attention to that subsystem during testing.

The BRM system seems to be the most risky, with a max score of 0.8. Time to break out the crystal ball and see if we can predict any billing nightmares ahead!

Ah, the good old 'risk weighting' approach. No more distorted pictures, just cold, hard risk numbers. Now I can really dive in and figure out which system is giving the dev team the biggest headache.

Looks like the SMS system has the highest risk score, with a max of 1.0. Gotta keep a close eye on that one, no room for any SMS mishaps!

We definitely need to focus on the SMS system, it has the highest risk score.

Why do you think BRM is the most risky?

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

Hmm, the table shows the risk scores for the different subsystems. If the highest risk test or bug report has a score of 1, then the subsystem with the highest overall risk score is the one to focus on.
