ASTQB ISTQB Advanced Level Test manager Sample Questions:

1. Select the correct answer;
I. IEEE 829 contains a standard for test summary report.
II. Test reporting can occur at the end of the testing effort.
III. Percentage of test time lost due to blocking events is not a valid metric to monitor.
IV. Test summary report may contain summary of testing activities, versions of the software tested and management approvals.

A) I and II true, III and IV are false
B) I, II and IV are true, III false
C) I, II and III are true, IV false
D) I and IV are true, II and III are false

2. A car manufacturer is updating its airbag deployment system for its family cars. It has increased the number of airbags from four to nine.
This has necessitated an upgrade to the airbag control software (ACS) to allow deployment of the extra airbags where appropriate.
The car manufacturer receives information from on-board sensors. From this, it calculates the amount of deployment needed (minimal, medium and full), and from which airbag(s).
For this upgrade, it will receive information from extra sensors to be used in its calculations.
The car manufacturer employs its own in-house software development team. It uses the V model for its software development.
There are four stages of testing, from unit through to factory acceptance testing.
The development team is made up of project, programming and test managers.
The programmers use object-oriented methods for development.
The car manufacturer wishes to be first to market with the extra airbags, which will allow it to increase the safety ratings for its family cars, thereby increasing sales in a very competitive market.
Which of the following is a risk associated with the development approach?

A) Information hiding may pose extra testing challenges.
B) System testing may take longer than planned.
C) The calculations may become overly complex due to the increase in the number of sensors.
D) Testers may not be able to write the factory acceptance tests at the start of development

c.Business factors include: Damage to the image, loss of license, legal issues

A) I-b,II-c,III-a
B) I-a,II-b,III-c
C) I-c,II-b,III-a
D) I-a,II-b,III-b

4. Select the correct statement related to test techniques;
I. Software program should be running to perform dynamic analysis
II. Software program should be running to perform static analysis III. Control flow analysis is part of dynamic analysis
IV. Data flow analysis is part of static analysis

A) I, IV true. II, III false
B) I, III true. II, IV false
C) I, II true. III, IV false
D) I true. II, III, IV false

5. Which of the following statements are correct?
I. A failure can be detected only by dynamic testing technique.
II. Defects can exist in test environment.
III. All incidents require a software change.
IV. Code and design reviews can reveal defects

A) I, II, III true
B) II, III, IV true
C) I, II, IV true
D) II, IV true
