Which of the following statements about the Planning poker test estimate technique are CORRECT? i) Planning poker is a consensus based technique using a deck of cards. ii) A low test estimate usually means the story should be broken down into multiple smaller stories. iii) A high test estimate usually means the story should be broken down into multiple smaller stories. iv) One poker round is played and then consensus has to be reached. v) The risk level of each backlog item should be decided before the poker session.

A i, iii, v
B i, ii, iv
C i, ii, iii
D i, iii, iv

During a retrospective, which of the following items would be the LEAST effective to generate discussions on process improvement?

B For the last sprint the estimated and actual effort were much higher than the team capacity.
C One of the testers was regarded as being both disruptive and lazy and did not contribute to team success.
D The build process was slow and this often caused delays waiting for the build to complete.

Which of the following statements would you expect to be the MOST direct advantage of the whole-team approach?

A Reducing the involvement of business representatives because of the increased communication and collaboration between testers and developers.
B Having at least once a day an automated build and test process that detects integration errors early and quickly.
C Avoiding requirements misunderstandings which may not have been detected until later in the development cycle when they are more expensive to fix.
D Capitalizing on the combined skills of business representatives, testers and developers working together to contribute to project success.

You are working on an Agile project and have been asked to implement exploratory testing for the current sprint. Which one of the following is a correct approach to adopt?

A Allocate independent testers to design exploratory tests using test charters in time boxed sessions. Plan to run all sessions in parallel with each session lasting more than 5 hours.
B Ask experienced testers to prepare test charters for time boxed sessions lasting no more than 2 hours. Tests should be designed and executed within each session using heuristics, creativity and intuition.
C Ask experienced testers to try and find new defects by using the system without the constraint of documentation and tools.
D Use testers who have not been involved in the sprint to write new test cases from the user stories. These test cases are then executed in a time boxed session for the sprint.

You have been asked to execute an exploratory testing session on Park & Ride system. The test charter has been titled as "Buy a bus ticket". As a result, a number of defects were reported, the titles of which are listed below.
Which defect is out of scope for the given test charter?

A Failed to buy a bus ticket when the network connection to the Central System is down.
B Price for a bus ticket was calculated incorrectly.
C Failed to buy a bus ticket after 18:00.
D Payment for parking ticket is restricted to cash only (no credit card supported).

What is the definition of agile software development?

A A group of software development methodologies based on iterative incremental development with self-organizing cross-functional teams who cooperate to define requirements and to implement the solution.
B A framework to describe the software development lifecycle activities from requirements specification to maintenance where test planning of the various test levels is done as soon as the test basis is ready.
C Testing carried out informally where no formal test preparation or execution takes place, no recognized test design technique is used and there are no expectations for results.
D A way of developing software where the test cases are developed, and often automated, before the software under test is developed.

Which of the following describes the main purpose of a task management tool in agile projects?

A A task management tool allows developers to continuously integrate their code.
B A task management tool is used by team members to share ideas and collaborate on assigned tasks.
C A task management tool is used to manage and track user stories, tests and other tasks.
D A task management tool is used to store source code and automated tests.

Consider an online application that allows registered users to pay the annual car tax based on the vehicle's engine power in kW. Given the following user story:
"As a customer I need the online application to calculate the annual car tax amount that I need to pay for my car":

If the power of the vehicle is less than 20 kW, then the annual car tax is free
If the power of the vehicle is more or equal than 20 kW but less or equal than 150 kW, then the annual car tax is 250 Euros
If the power of the vehicle is more than 150 kW, then the annual car tax is 750 Euros"
What is the MOST suitable use of a black-box test design technique for this user story?

A State transition testing. Test the transitions between the following states: logging in, inserting the power of the vehicle, making payment, logging out
B Use case testing.Test the following use case (Actor=registered user):Pre-condition=registered user logged inScenario=registered user inserts the power of the vehicle, making payment and logs outPost-condition=car tax paid and registered user logged out
C Decision table testing. Test the following conditions:Conditions=registered user logged in; inserted power of the vehicle=20kW;Action=Car tax paid
D Equivalence partitioning. Test the annual car tax value for the following partitions:[power of the vehicle<20 kW; 20 kW ?power of the vehicle?150 kW; power of the vehicle>150 kW]

Which of the following activities are done in release planning? i. Identifying testable user stories with acceptance criteria. ii. Elaborating the user stories into tasks. iii. Prioritizing the user stories. iv. Creating acceptance tests for the user stories. v. Analyzing risks for each of the user stories. vi. Performing high level estimation for the release.

A Activities i, iii and vi
B Activities ii, iii and v
C Activities ii and iv
D Activities i, iv and vi

Which of the following is a benefit of a whole-team approach?

A Enables testers to execute their responsibility for quality for the combined team.
B Enables the team to focus on solely their separate areas of expertise and responsibility.
C Enables reduction in test duplication as the testers and test engineers function as a single team.
D Enables the various skill sets within the team to be leveraged to the benefit of the project.

Which of the following statements about the benefits of the Agile processes promoting early and frequent feedback is NOT true?

A In Agile projects where feedback is provided early and frequently, defects and incorrect requirements are caught earlier and those problems can be fixed faster.
B Increasing the frequency of feedback and communication between all the stakeholders involved in Agile projects eliminates all communication problems.
C Feedback from well-conducted Agile retrospectives can be used to positively affect the development process over the course of the next iteration.
D Early and frequent feedback enables the team to deliver the features that represent the highest business value to the customer first.

Which ONE of the following is an example of a typical "Business-oriented work product"?

A The released product.
B Acceptance testing entry criteria.
C A user manual.
D Usability testing test results.

Which TWO examples below represent activities that would likely be managed on an agile task board for the third sprint? i) A task to design the features planned for the next sprint. ii) A task to run an acceptance test for a user story. iii) A task to automate regression tests. iv) A task to participate in training in preparation for the fourth sprint. v) A task to produce a daily progress report for the agile team members.

A iv, v
B i, iv
C i, v
D ii, iii

Which of the following statements about a test charter are CORRECT? i) It is used mainly in exploratory tests. ii) It is used to monitor a test process. iii) It may make reference to user stories. iv) It contains notes taken during a test session. v) It is used to outline the company test policy.
