NEW QUESTION # 78
Your application development team is performing "test-driven" development. This is a core principal of which software development model?[1]
- A. Sequential
- B. Spiral
- C. Agile
- D. Iterative
Answer: C
Explanation:
Test-driven development (TDD) is a core principle of Agile software development. In TDD, test cases are created before the code is written, and the code is developed to pass these tests. This approach emphasizes requirements and solutions evolving through collaborative effort and is a key practice in Agile methodologies12.
References:The Agile Alliance describes TDD as a style of programming tightly interwoven with coding, testing, and design, which is a fundamental aspect of Agile development3. Wikipedia also notes that TDD is related to the test-first programming concepts of extreme programming, an Agile methodology This is because test-driven development (TDD) is a style of programming in which coding, testing, and design are tightly interwoven. TDD is a core principle of agile software development, which is an iterative and adaptive approach that values customer collaboration, working software, and responding to change.

Assume that you are the Test Manager for a small banking application development project.
You have decided to adopt a risk-based testing strategy and 5 product risks (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) have been identified during the quality risk analysis.
The following table shows the risk level associated to these product risks (higher numbers mean higher risk):
55 test cases have been designed and implemented to cover all these 5 product risks. The coverage is described in a traceability matrix.
This is the test execution status table, after the after the first week of test execution:
About 56% of the planned test cases have been successfully executed.
Assume that no additional product risks have been identified during the first week of test
execution.
Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the residual risks associated with the identified product risks, at the end of the first week of test execution?
K3 2 credits

NEW QUESTION # 91
You are the manager of a test team. You inherited most of these people from a previous manager who promoted technical skills, particularly programming skills. As a result, your people are very strong in test automation skills, white box testing and complex test design techniques. You have just been told that you can hire five new people. You want the new people to complement the existing skill sets and you want to be sure the team will have a strong mutual respect.
Given the following options, who should you hire? [3]
- A. Hire customer support people who have experience with the customer interface.
- B. Hire college interns who can be trained by the existing people.
- C. Hire a mix of people with strong testing and domain skills.
- D. Hire all black box testers because you are severely lacking in that skill set.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The best option to hire new people for your test team is to hire a mix of people with strong testing and domain skills. This means that the new people have both the technical knowledge and the business understanding to test the software system effectively and efficiently. Hiring a mix of people with strong testing and domain skills can complement the existing skill sets of your test team, as well as enhance the team's diversity, creativity, and collaboration. Hiring a mix of people with strong testing and domain skills can also help the team to achieve a balance between white box and black box testing, and to cover different aspects and perspectives of the software system.
