Which of the following roles typically has final approval over what is included in the software requirements and the priorities of those requirements?

  1. Business analyst
  2. Customer
  3. Direct user
  4. Project manager

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The customers fund the software development effort or acquire the software products in order to meet their business objectives. The requirements define the agreement between the customers and developers about the scope of the software product. The requirements define what is being built. The customer typically has final say and approval over what is included in the requirements and the requirement priorities.

The completion of which of the following events is most likely to be designated as a project milestone?

  1. a critical activity
  2. a peer review
  3. a phase gate review
  4. a test case

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Phase gate reviews, also called phase-end, phase transition, or major milestone reviews, are event-driven reviews that are held at major milestones in the project. The purpose of these reviews is to act as a quality gate or checkpoint to ensure that all required activities have been completed satisfactorily and that all work products have achieved the quality levels required to move into the next major phase or activity of the project. All activities on the critical path are critical activities
Answer A and must be completed on time for the project to be completed on time. The completion of a critical activity may or may not be a milestone. Peer reviews (
Answer B are technical reviews of work products conducted by the peers of the author.
While the completion of a critical peer review or the last peer review in a chain of reviews might be designated as a milestone, the completion of an individual peer review is not typically designated as a project milestone. The completion of an individual test case is also not typically designated as a project milestone. Typically it is the completion of an entire testing cycle that is designated as a project milestone.

Which of the following metrics is LEAST LIKELY to be used as a measure of process capability of the system test execution process?

  1. Phase containment
  2. Defect detection efficiency
  3. Test case execution cycle time
  4. Test case defect density

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Test case defect density is a measure of the number of defects found in the test cases normalized by the size of the test cases. Test case defect density could be used to measure the process capability of the system test design process (its ability to create defect free test cases). However, if would not typically be used to measure the capability of the system test execution process.

The valid inputs for field on a web site form are character strings from 5 through 25 characters in length. Test cases to perform boundary testing on this input would include valid character strings of:

  1. 0, 10, and 30 characters in length.
  2. 4, 5, 25 and 26 characters in length.
  3. 5, 6, 24 and 25 characters in length.
  4. from 5 to 25 characters inclusively.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Boundary value analysis explores the values on or around the boundaries of the equivalence classes. This is done by testing the minimum value (in this case 5 characters), the maximum value (in this case 25 characters), the value just below the minimum (in this case 4 characters), and the value just above the maximum (in this case 26 characters).
