What test process is included as part of TPI Next?

Identify test specification

Identify test specification

Identify test environment

Identify test environment

Identify test execution

Identify test execution

Identify test conditions

Identify test conditions

Suggested answer: B
Explanation:

According to TPI Next, the test process consists of four main phases: Test Strategy, Test Preparation, Test Execution and Test Completion. Each phase has several key areas that describe the activities and tasks involved in the phase. One of the key areas in the Test Preparation phase is Test Environment, which covers the identification, specification, realization and maintenance of the test environment. The test environment includes the hardware, software, network, data and tools that are required to perform the testing activities. The test environment should be aligned with the test objectives and the system under test, and should be managed throughout the test process.TPI NextTPI Next bookReference:

Question 54

Report Export Collapse

You are a new Test Manager on a maintenance release for an existing mature product that is expected to be retired in the not too distant future. The previous release had utilized a performance regression test suite written in an in-house custom tool using the same programming language as the product itself. This suite will most likely require tweaking to ensure it works with the new version of the product. While there are several members in the performance testing team, the original author of the performance testing tool has moved on to another company, and none of the remaining staff have a great deal of familiarity with the performance test scripts used to test this product.

How would you recommend this scenario be addressed? [3]

Retire the in-house tool and switch to a vendor supported tool for performance testing.

Leverage the development team to fill any knowledge gaps in the in-house tool.

Leverage the development team to fill any knowledge gaps in the in-house tool.

Suggested answer: D
Explanation:

The best option to address this scenario is to leverage the development team to fill any knowledge gaps in the in-house tool. This option allows the test team to reuse the existing performance test suite and avoid the risks and costs of switching to a new tool or excluding performance testing altogether. The development team can provide support and guidance to the test team on how to use and modify the in-house tool, since it is written in the same programming language as the product itself. This option also preserves the intellectual property of the organization and does not expose the in-house tool to the open source community.ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager SyllabusAdvanced Software Testing - Vol. 2Reference:

Evolution

Evolution

Retirement

Retirement

Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

According to the tool lifecycle model, the evolution stage is when the tool is adapted to new requirements or environments, such as a new operating system. This stage involves modifying the tool to meet the changing needs of the users and the system. The evolution stage is followed by the retirement stage, when the tool is no longer used or supported.Tool Lifecycle ModelSoftware Testing ToolsReference:

Suggested answer: D
Explanation:

The next step after creating a custom automation tool is to test the tool itself. This is to ensure that the tool is reliable, functional, and compatible with the system under test. Testing the tool involves verifying its features, performance, usability, security, and stability. Testing the tool also helps to identify and fix any defects or issues before using it for the actual testing of the product.ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager SyllabusTop 7 Automation Testing Tools to ConsiderReference:

Memory leaks

Concurrency thresholds

Concurrency thresholds

Timing dependencies

Timing dependencies

Suggested answer: A
Explanation:

A static analysis tool is a software tool that analyzes the source code of a program without executing it. It can detect various software characteristics, such as syntax errors, potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, code quality, and coding standard violations. Coding standard violations are deviations from the agreed or recommended rules and conventions for writing source code, such as naming, indentation, formatting, commenting, and complexity. A static analysis tool can check the source code against a predefined or customized coding standard and report any violations. Coding standard violations can affect the readability, maintainability, and portability of the code, and can also introduce defects or inconsistencies.List of tools for static code analysisTop 5 Open Source Source and Free Static Code Analysis Tools in 2020Reference:
