Roll out, adapt, train, implement

Monitor, support, revise, implement

Learn, evaluate, decide, assess

Evaluate, adapt, monitor, support

11. A tool that supports traceability, recording of incidents or scheduling of tests is called

Dynamic analysis tool

Test execution tool

Debugging tool

Test management tool

12. The place to start if you want to use a new test tool is

Attend a tool exhibition

Invite a vendor to give a demo

Analyze your needs and requirements

Find out what your budget would be for the tool

13. What is the main goal of a proof of concept for a new tool?

To see if people find it usable

To see if it works with the organization’s infrastructure

To see if management is happy with the licensing structure

To see if the vendor will supply adequate support

14. Given the following types of tool, which tools would typically be used by developers and which by an independent test team:

i. static analysis

ii. performance testing

iii. test management

iv. dynamic analysis

v. test running

vi. test data preparation

developers would typically use i, iv and vi; test team ii, iii and v

developers would typically use i and iv; test team ii, iii, v and vi

developers would typically use i, ii, iii and iv; test team v and vi

developers would typically use ii, iv and vi; test team I, ii and v

15. What are the potential benefits from using tools in general to support testing?

Greater quality of code, reduction in the number of testers needed, better objectives for testing

Greater repeatability of tests, reduction in repetitive work, objective assessment

Greater responsiveness of users, reduction of tests run, objectives not necessary

Greater quality of code, reduction in paperwork, fewer objections to the tests

16. Which of the following is the purpose of a proof-of-concept for a new tool?

To verify that the licensing cost is affordable

To verify that the tool will work effectively within the current infrastructure

To verify that the vendor will provide adequate support

To verify that the return on investment will be sufficient

17. Which one of the following best describes a characteristic of a keyword driven test execution tool?

A table with test input data, action words, and expected results, controls execution of the system under test

Actions of testers recorded in a script that is rerun several times

Actions of testers recorded in a script that is run with several sets of test input data

The ability to log test results and compare them against the expected results, stored in a text file

18. A typical commercial test execution tool would be able to perform all of the following except:

Replaying inputs according to a programmed script

comparison of expected outcomes with actual outcomes

reading test values from a data file

Generating expected output

19. Why is it important to define usage guidelines for a new tool?

Because this is a proven success factor in tool deployment

Because this will ensure the licensing restrictions are enforced

Because management needs to understand the details of the tool usage

Because this will provide the information needed for the cost/benefit analysis

20. If a test tool is causing a probe effect, what does this mean?

The outcome of the test may be influenced by the use of the tool

The tool is used to continuously probe the software for defects

The tool is used primarily to assist with exploratory testing

The tester will require special training to be able to effectively use the tool

21. If you are looking for a tool that will verify if the code complies with coding standards, what type of tool are you seeking?

Test management

Test automation

Static analysis

Keyword-driven

22. Below is a list of test efficiency improvement goals a software development and test organization would like to achieve. Which of these goals would best be supported by a test management tool?

To build traceability between requirements, tests, and bugs

To optimize the ability of tests to identify failures

To resolve defects faster

To automate selection of test cases for execution

23. What is the primary purpose of a test execution tool?

It executes test objects using automated test scripts

It automatically records defects to the defect tracking system

It analyzes code to determine if there are any coding standard violations

It tracks test cases, defects and requirements traceability

24. Which of the following would NOT be done as part of selecting a tool for an organization?

Assess organizational maturity, strengths and weaknesses

Roll out the tool to as many users as possible within the organization
