Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATM exam

Question #: 25
Topic #: 3

[All ATM Questions]

You are performing a quality risk analysis for a CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item) used to implement a CBIT (Continuous Built-In Test) module of a safety-critical system. During the quality risk analysis you are trying to identify the ways in which failures of the CBIT module can occur, for each of them trying to determine the potential causes and likely effects, and the risk level (calculated as the product of three factors: severity, occurrence and detection). Which of the following risk analysis techniques are you working with? K2 1 credit

AA lightweight product risk analysis technique

BFailure Mode and Effect Analysis

CWide Band Delphi

DCost of Exposure

I agree, B) is the way to go. Identifying failure modes, causes, and effects is exactly what FMEA is all about. Now if only I could remember what those three risk factors are...

Absolutely, FMEA helps us to systematically analyze potential failures and their impact on the system. It's a crucial step in ensuring safety and reliability.

I think the three risk factors are severity, occurrence, and detection. It's important to consider all of them in the risk analysis.

B) Failure Mode and Effect Analysis definitely seems the most appropriate here. Gotta love those acronyms, right? CSCI, CBIT, FMEA - it's like alphabet soup!

Hmm, I'm not sure. What about that 'Cost of Exposure' option? Sounds like something an accountant would come up with. *chuckles*
