Question 1 of 10

1. Which of the following statements are true?

Early feedback may distract developers from focusing on their sprint tasks, therefore feedback should be given during sprint reviews only.
Early feedback enables agile teams to increase their efficiency, because it reduces investing effort into the wrong direction.
Early feedback reduces costs because it decreases the amount of time needed for system testing
Early feedback makes it more likely that the system built is what the customer wanted because they are given the opportunity to make changes throughout the product development process

2. Which of the following is a benefit of the agile process promoting early and frequent feedback?

A.The total number of defects found during the project is much higher than on traditional software development projects such as waterfall

B.There is less rework because customers see the product regularly

C.It is easy to determine the developer who introduces the most defects when integrating code

D.There is enough time to complete all features scheduled for the given iteration

Question 4 of 10

4. During an iteration planning meeting, the team is sharing their thoughts about a user story. The product owner advises that the customer should have one screen to enter information. The developer explains that there are technical limitations for the feature, due to the amount of information needed to be captured on the screen. Another developer says that there are risks about performance as the information will be stored in an external offsite database.
Which of the following would best represent a tester’s contribution to this discussion?

A.The tester advises that the screen for the user story needs to be a single page to reduce test automation effort

B.The tester advises that usability is more important than performance

C.The tester advises that performance acceptance criteria should standard maximum of 1 second for data storage

D.The tester advises that the user story needs acceptance criteria to be testable

Question 5 of 10

5. Which of the following BEST describes a tester participating in a retrospective meeting?

A.As a tester participating in a retrospective meeting, I should bring in topics that are related to testing only. All other topics will be covered by different participants

B.As a tester, I participate in a retrospective meeting as an observer, ensuring that the meeting follows the retrospective rules and agile values

C.As a tester participating in a retrospective meeting, I should provide feedback and input on all activities conducted by the team during the sprint

D.As a tester, I should only attend and participate in a retrospective meeting if I have any feedback and input related to activities conducted by the team during the sprint

Question 6 of 10

6. Which of the following items should NOT be raised during a retrospective meeting?

A.There should be more emphasis on unit testing in the future, to improve overall quality

B.The build process is manual and takes too long. Research and implementation of an automated build framework should be done

C.Tester XYZ is struggling to find defects. Test design training is required for this resource

D.Automated regression test suites are taking too long to run. A review of the tests, to eliminate redundant or unnecessary tests, is required

Question 7 of 10

7. Which of the following is NOT a principle of continuous integration?

A.Continuous integration helps to build changed software regularly, including testing and deploying, in an automated way

B.Continuous integration allows new builds to be available frequently to testers and stakeholders

C.Continuous integration helps to identify new integration defects early and makes the analysis of these defects easier

D.Continuous integration ensures that testing of builds is done manually, as this generates more reliable results than automated scripts

Question 7 of 10

Question 8 of 10

8. Which of the following activities would a tester do during release planning?

A.Produce a list of acceptance tests for user stories

B.Help break down user stories into smaller and more detailed tasks

C.Estimate testing tasks generated by new features planned for this iteration

D.Support the clarification of the user stories and ensure that they are testable

Question 8 of 10

Question 9 of 10

9. What is the most appropriate explanation of a ‘user story’?

A.An artifact that the tester must review and sign off before testing can begin

B.An artifact used to detail only the functional requirements of the system

C.An artifact documented by business representatives to help developers and testers understand the system requirements

D.An artifact written collaboratively by developers, testers, and business representatives to capture requirements

Question 9 of 10

Question 10 of 10

10. Which of the following test activities is typically done during agile projects, but is not as common on traditional projects?

A.Testers write detailed test plans so all team members can understand what will be tested during each iteration

B.Testers are heavily involved in the creation of automated test cases which are then used to verify the implementation of the requirements

C.Testers decide entry and exit criteria for each test level

D.Testers are interacting with development teams to better understand what needs to be tested
