A tester has just completed a challenging assignment as the sole tester in an agile development team and is now being reassigned. Which of the following is most likely to DEMOTIVATE this tester?
SELECT ONE OPTION

• A. A bonus payment to reflect the project team's overall productivity.

You are writing the project test plan and are analysing the following risks in the project risk register:

Which would be the MOST appropriate test activities to mitigate the product risks?

• A. Ignore Risk 1 as this is not within scope of a project test strategy. Apply performance testing for Risks 2 and 4, but schedule Risk 4 testing first. Ensure end-users with visual disabilities are involved during UAT
• B. Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply performance testing for Risk 2 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4. Disregard Risk 3 as it cannot be mitigated by test activities
• C. Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply security testing for Risk 4 and schedule it ahead of performance testing for Risk 2. Conduct reviews of early screen designs and involve users with visual disabilities
• D. Apply portability testing for Risk 1 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4 and finally performance testing for Risk 2. Embed users with visual disabilities into the design team for Risk 3

Most managers in your company consider the efforts of your test team valuable, while others seecomprehensive testing as an unnecessary cost overhead to the SDLC.
What action could the Test Manager take to quantify the value of testing to the organization? [3]

• A. Develop metrics that illustrate planned and actual testing hours.
• B. Determine the cost of external failures.
• C. Review the Test Plan with the management team.

Your organisation, a high-street bank, is to embark on a project that delivers a major update to the design of its website and also involves functional and performance improvementchanges to its backend core banking engine. It has traditionally used the V-model software development lifecycle to deliver its projects but has now decided to start migrating to Agile (SCRUM). However, after considering the organisation's current processes and skills plus the importance of the project, senior management has decided to continue to use the V-model approach for the backend core banking engine changes. For the same reasons, they have decided to implement a hybrid model for the website updates. The website updates will begin with a traditional requirement definition phase and will then transition to an Agile (SCRUM) approach for development and testing. The organisation's test policy mandates that all tests must be fully traceable to business requirements to satisfy the regular audits that take place in the banking sector. Which TWO test management activities would be MOST appropriate for the new project?

• A. Plan exploratory testing on all of the new website features but use formal scripting for the banking engine
• B. Avoid distinct test phases and ensure testing is continuous and integrated across the whole project
• C. Ensure there is a continual review of test progress with regular test monitoring and reporting across the whole project
• D. Ask the business to identify and analyse all product risks, then ensure testing contributes to risk mitigation strategies
• E. Select tools for test automation and continuous integration for the website changes
