Question 4 of 10

4. In an agile project, which of the following would best denote product quality at the end of iteration 6 of a new system release consisting of 8 iterations?

A.No severity 1 or 2 defects were detected during system testing of iteration 6, which allowed the teams to move into iteration 7

B.The results of a customer beta test on the iteration 6 software release indicate that the system works correctly and that it has improved productivity

C.The agile team has been successfully tracking to estimates, with limited variance showing on the burndown charts for all iterations to date

D.All story cards in scope for each iteration, up to the current iteration, have been marked as “Done”, but with some technical debt being incurred

6. The business advises during iteration 5 planning that they require changes to the system delivered in iteration 3.
Of the following activities, which would need to be done first to minimize the introduction of regression risk when this feature is changed?

A.Review and update all manual and automated tests impacted by this change to meet the new acceptance criteria

B.Write new manual and automated tests for the feature and add them to the regression test suite

C.Automate all test cases from the previous iteration and add them to the automated regression test suite

Question 6 of 10

Question 7 of 10

7. Which of the following are reasons why automation is essential within agile projects?

i. So that teams maintain or increase their velocity
ii. To prevent the test team from becoming bored with manual, repetitive tasks
iii. To retest all test cases from previous iterations
iv. To eliminate regression in the product due to high code churn
v. To ensure that code changes do not break the software build

A.i and iv

B.i and v

C.iii and iv

D.ii and v

Question 8 of 10

8. In agile projects there is more need for testers to understand and develop test automation scripts than in traditional projects. Of the following:

i. Requirements change daily and must be regression tested. This rapid change requires automated tests because manual testing is too slow
ii. The tests should generate feedback on product quality as early as possible. So, all acceptance tests should be executed in each iteration, ideally as modifications are made. In practice that can only be realized by automated tests
iii. Test-First and Continuous Integration Practice require that the regression test suite is executed whenever changed code is checked-in. In practice that can only be realized by automated tests
iv. Iterations or sprints are of fixed length. The team must guarantee that all tests can be completely executed at the last day of each iteration/sprint. In practice, that can only be realized by automated tests
v. Agile projects rely on unit testing rather than on systems testing. Since unit tests cannot be executed manually, all tests must be automated tests

Which are the reasons why this is a necessary skill on agile projects?

A.i & iii

B.ii & v

C.iv & v

D.ii and iii

Question 9 of 10

9. Which tasks are typically expected of a tester on an agile project?

i. decide on user acceptance

iii. schedule defect reports for analysis
iv. automate and maintain tests
v. improve program logic by pair programming

A.i & iii

B.ii & iii

C.ii & iv

D.ii & v

A.To automate tests and maintain them

B.To mentor and coach other team members

C.To produce and update burndown charts

D.To participate in code analyzing activities
