The development manager is managing the review of the responses received from bidders,
and has asked the in-house test manager to provide a review checklist for the test
management aspects of the responses. Which of the following checkpoints would be
appropriate? 2 credits

A.

1044.

B.

The bidder’s project strategy shows that the data content of all the test environments
conforms to EU standards.

C.

The bidder’s test plan shows that the application will be delivered for acceptance in six
months time.

D.

The bidder’s project test plan depicts a phased implementation with later delivery dates
to be confirmed and states that test deliverables will be developed using IEEE 829 as a

not been correctly implemented.

B.

The application takes too long to process a request for additional cover.

C.

The test cases do not cover the key requirements.

D.

The successful bidder may not deliver all the required functionality on time.

Which one of the following estimation approaches is appropriate at this stage of the
project? 2 credits

A.

Create an estimate based on the function point analysis technique and test point
analysis

B.

Create an estimate based on the complexity of the code

C.

Why might a RAD approach be a better option for the test manager rather than a
sequential development? 2 credits

A.

It will extend the development team’s abilities and enhance future delivery capabilities.

B.

It will allow the marketing, clerical and testing staff to validate and verify the early screen
prototypes.

C.

Time-box constraints will guarantee code releases are delivered on schedule.

D.

More time can be spent on test execution as less formal documentation is required.

development approach? 1 credit

A.

Re-usable test scripts for (automated) regression testing

B.

Project management and control

C.

No complete requirements specification

D.

Time-boxing
