iii. Overall process of execution of testing

iv. All of the above

A.

I and iii are correct
B.

Ii and iii are correct
C.

I and ii are correct
D.

Iv is correct

Correct Answer
C. I and ii are correct

Explanation
For the purpose of the foundation syllabus, the term 'test frameworks' is used in the first two meanings only.

Which of the following do Test Management tools not provide?

A.

Tracing the test objects to requirement specifications
B.

Support for quantitative analysis and reporting of the test objects
C.

Assistance with identifying inconsistent or missing requirements
D.

Tracking defects and managing requirements

Correct Answer
C. Assistance with identifying inconsistent or missing requirements

Explanation
This is normally provided by a more specialised Requirements Management Tool

Test Design Tools are used to generate test inputs or executable tests and/or test oracles from requirements

A.

True
B.

False

Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Test Design Tools are software tools that are utilized to generate test inputs, executable tests, and test oracles from the requirements. These tools automate the process of designing and creating tests, saving time and effort for testers. By using test design tools, testers can generate a wide range of test scenarios and inputs based on the requirements, ensuring comprehensive test coverage. Additionally, these tools can also assist in creating test oracles, which are used to determine whether the actual output of a test matches the expected output. Therefore, the statement "Test Design Tools are used to generate test inputs or executable tests and/or test oracles from requirements" is true.

Potential benefits of using test tools include:

i. Greater consistency and repeatability

ii. Repetitive work is reduced (e.g. running regression tests)

iii. Neglecting version control of test assets within the tool

iv. Ease of access to information about tests or testing (e.g. statistics and graphs about test progress, incident rates and performance)

v. Poor response from vendor for support, upgrades, and defect fixes

vi. Underestimating the effort required to maintain the test assets generated by the tool

A.

I, iii and vi are correct
B.

Ii, iv are correct but v is incorrect
C.

I, ii, v and vi are correct
D.

I, ii and iv are correct

Correct Answer
D. I, ii and iv are correct

Explanation
Neglecting version control of test assets within the tool, Poor response from vendor for support, upgrades, and defect fixes and Underestimating the effort required to maintain the test assets generated by the tool are risks of using a tool.

Introducing the selected tool into an organization starts with a pilot project, which of the following are not an objective of this process:

i. Learn more detail about the tool

ii. Evaluate how the tool fits with existing processes and practices, and determine what would need to change

iii. Adapting and improving processes to fit with the use of the tool

iv. Decide on standard ways of using, managing, storing and maintaining the tool and the test assets

v. Defining usage guidelines

vi. Assess whether the benefits will be achieved at reasonable cost

A.

I, iii and vi
B.

Iii and v
C.

Ii, iv and vi
D.

Iii and iv

Correct Answer
B. Iii and v

Explanation
Defining usage guidelines and Adapting and improving processes to fit with the use of the tool are success factors for the deployment of the tool after the pilot project has concluded.
