ISTQB ATM Exam - Topic 3 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATM exam

Question #: 7
Topic #: 3

[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

SOA middleware usually has a lot of dependencies, could be risky too!

Wait, are we sure the risk scores are accurate? Seems off to me.

Totally agree, the risk weighting makes a huge difference in understanding quality!

Nah, I believe the BRM has higher risk factors.

I think the CRM subsystem is the most risky based on the scores.

If I recall correctly, the BRM system often has complex billing scenarios that could lead to higher risk scores. I hope that’s what the table indicates!

I feel like the SOA middleware might be the most risky since it connects everything, but I’m not completely confident about that.

I think we practiced a similar question where the CRM system had the highest risk due to its integration with other systems. Could that be the case here too?

I remember we discussed how risk weighting can change the perception of test results, but I’m not sure which subsystem had the highest risk score.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand it fully before answering. I'll read through it carefully and think about the key elements.

I think the solution provided is on the right track, but I'd want to double-check a few things. Does VM1 have the necessary permissions to access storage1? And is there a way to further restrict access to just that specific VM rather than the entire Vnet1?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not too familiar with the specifics of how SAP MDG behaves on different databases. I'll need to carefully read through the answer options and see if I can spot the key differences.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I need to carefully go through the details and make sure I understand the implications of the standard cost system and the inventory movements. Let me think this through step-by-step.
