ACP Quality Assurance & Compliance 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Jira, which feature allows teams to define 'Definition of Done' criteria that must be met before a story can be closed?
- Epic links
- Acceptance criteria fields
- Workflow conditions and validators (Correct answer)
- Sprint goals
Correct answer: Workflow conditions and validators
Workflow conditions and validators in Jira enforce rules (such as Definition of Done checks) that must pass before a transition can occur.
Question 2: A QA team wants to ensure no Jira issue moves to 'Done' without a linked test case. Which Jira workflow element enforces this?
- Post-function
- Validator (Correct answer)
- Condition
- Trigger
Correct answer: Validator
Validators check that specific criteria (like a linked test case) are met before allowing a transition to proceed.
Question 3: Which Atlassian tool integrates natively with Jira to provide test management, traceability, and compliance reporting?
- Confluence
- Bitbucket
- Zephyr Scale (formerly SmartZephyr) (Correct answer)
- Bamboo
Correct answer: Zephyr Scale (formerly SmartZephyr)
Zephyr Scale is a native Jira test management app that provides test case management, execution tracking, and compliance traceability.
Question 4: In an agile QA process using Jira, what is the primary purpose of a 'bug bash'?
- To delete all open bugs at sprint end
- To conduct intensive exploratory testing with the whole team (Correct answer)
- To automate regression test suites
- To assign bug SLA priorities automatically
Correct answer: To conduct intensive exploratory testing with the whole team
A bug bash is a time-boxed session where the entire team participates in exploratory testing to surface defects quickly.
Question 5: Which Confluence feature is most useful for maintaining a living QA compliance document that multiple team members update concurrently?
- Page restrictions
- Collaborative editing with page history (Correct answer)
- Space permissions only
- PDF export
Correct answer: Collaborative editing with page history
Confluence's collaborative editing lets multiple users edit simultaneously, and page history provides an audit trail for compliance documentation.
Question 6: A team uses Jira to track regulatory compliance tasks. Which Jira field type is best for capturing a mandatory sign-off date?
- Labels field
- Date picker custom field (Correct answer)
- Text field
- Cascading select field
Correct answer: Date picker custom field
A Date picker custom field enforces date format and enables JQL date-based queries for tracking sign-off deadlines.
Question 7: In Jira Software, which report best helps a QA lead identify whether defect discovery rate is declining as a sprint progresses (indicating improving quality)?
- Sprint Report
- Cumulative Flow Diagram
- Bug Burndown Chart (Correct answer)
- Control Chart
Correct answer: Bug Burndown Chart
A Bug Burndown Chart tracks the number of open bugs over time, showing whether the team is resolving defects faster than they are discovered.
