Which of the following documents would NOT be used as requirements against which an auditor would conduct an evaluation of compliance and/or conformance?
Answer(s): D
Audit evaluation criteria (requirements against which conformance and/or compliance is evaluated) provide the objective requirements and guidelines against which conformance and/or compliance is evaluated. While quality records are used as objective evidence to evaluate compliance and/or conformance, they are never the requirements that an audit evaluation is performed against.

The completion of which of the following events is most likely to be designated as a project milestone?
Answer(s): C
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 activitiesAnswer 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?
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.
