Read the first 7 Test Management and Planning flashcards as text

  1. What is the role of a 'test coordinator' in a large project with multiple test teams?

    Answer: To coordinate test activities, resources, and communications across teams

    A test coordinator synchronizes activities, resources, and communication across multiple test teams.

  2. Which of the following BEST describes a 'product risk' in the context of test management?

    Answer: The risk that a software work product may fail to satisfy stakeholder needs

    Product risks relate to the potential that the software itself will not meet stakeholder needs or quality requirements.

  3. During test execution, the team discovers that 30% more defects than expected are being found. What should the test manager consider FIRST?

    Answer: Assess whether additional time and resources are needed to complete testing

    Higher-than-expected defect rates require the test manager to evaluate whether the plan needs adjustment for resources and schedule.

  4. Which of the following is an example of a 'qualitative' risk analysis approach?

    Answer: Rating risks as High, Medium, or Low based on team judgment

    Qualitative risk analysis uses descriptive ratings like High/Medium/Low based on expert judgment rather than numerical calculations.

  5. A test plan section on 'test deliverables' would typically include which of the following?

    Answer: Test scripts, test logs, defect reports, and the test summary report

    Test deliverables are the outputs produced by the test team, including scripts, logs, defect reports, and summary reports.

  6. Why is it important to involve testers early in the software development lifecycle?

    Answer: To allow testers to detect defects in requirements and designs before coding begins

    Early involvement enables testers to find defects in requirements and design, which is far cheaper to fix than post-coding defects.

  7. What is the key difference between 'exit criteria' and 'suspension criteria' in a test plan?

    Answer: Exit criteria define when testing is done; suspension criteria define conditions that temporarily halt testing

    Exit criteria define conditions for completing testing, while suspension criteria define conditions under which testing must be temporarily stopped.
