Topic #: 2
[All ATM Questions]

Assume that you are the Test Manager for a small banking application development project. You have decided to adopt a risk-based testing strategy and 5 product risks (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) have been identified during the quality risk analysis. The following table shows the risk level associated to these product risks (higher numbers mean higher risk):

55 test cases have been designed and implemented to cover all these 5 product risks. The coverage is described in a traceability matrix.

This is the test execution status table, after the after the first week of test execution:

About 56% of the planned test cases have been successfully executed.

Assume that no additional product risks have been identified during the first week of test execution.

Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the residual risks associated with the identified product risks, at the end of the first week of test execution? K3 2 credits

Option A? Really? Reducing risk by 20% just because a few test cases passed? That's like saying I can eat a whole cake because I had one slice. Nope, not buying it!

I'm going with option C. Without complete test execution, it's impossible to determine the true residual risk level. Testing is like a game of Tetris - you gotta clear all the lines!

Option B seems tempting, but 56% of test cases executed doesn't necessarily mean a 56% reduction in risk. There could be high-risk issues still lurking in the unexecuted tests.

A) Since R3 is the only risk for which all test cases have passed, the risk has been reduced by 20%

Hah, option A is a classic example of wishful thinking. Just because all test cases for R3 passed, doesn't mean the risk has been reduced by 20%. There's still a lot of work to be done.

Ollie: Exactly, we can't jump to conclusions based on just one aspect of the testing process.

User 2: I agree, there's more to it than just passing test cases. We need to consider other factors as well.

User 1: Option A is definitely wishful thinking. Passing all test cases for R3 doesn't automatically reduce the risk by 20%.

I think option D is the correct answer. The test execution table doesn't provide enough information about the risk level of the remaining defects and unexecuted test cases.

User 2: Yeah, the test execution table doesn't give us enough information about the remaining risks.

But what about the test cases that have already passed? Shouldn't they reduce the risk level for those specific risks?

I agree with you, Harley. We need to wait until all test cases have been executed to determine the residual risk.

I think the residual risk level can't be determined yet.
