Which of the following statements is NOT true about Configuration management and software testing?

• Configuration management helps maintain consistent versions of software artifacts.
• Configuration management supports the build process, which is essential for delivering a test release into the test environment.
• When testers report defects, they need to reference version-controlled items.
• Version controlled test ware increases the chances of finding defects in the software under test.

Atypical generic skill required for the role of tester is the ability to

• Take on the role of developer to meet challenging project deadlines
• Assume leadership aimed at imposing decisions on the rest of the team.
• Use tools to make the execution of repetitive testing tasks more efficient.
• Determine the corrective actions to get a test project on track in case of deviations from the test plan

Consider a given test plan which, among others, contains the following three sections: "Test Scope", "Testing Communication", and "Stakeholders". The features of the test object to be tested and those excluded from the testing represent information that is:

• not usually included in a test plan, and therefore in the given test plan it should not be specified neither within the three sections mentioned, nor within the others
• usually included in a test plan and, in the given test plan, it is more likely to be specified within "Test Scope" rather than in the other two sections mentioned
• usually included in a test plan and, in the given test plan, it is more likely to be specified within "Testing Communication" rather than in the other two sections mentioned
• usually included in a test plan and, in the given test plan, it is more likely to be specified within "Stakeholders" rather than in the other two sections mentioned

Who of the following has the best knowledge to decide what tests in a test project should be automated?

• The developer
• The customer
• The development manager
• The test leader

The tests at the bottom layer of the test pyramid:

• run faster than the tests at the top layer of the pyramid
• cover larger pieces of functionalities than the tests at the top layer of the pyramid
• are defined as 'Ul Tests' or 'End-To-End tests' in the different models of the pyramid
• are unscripted tests produced by experience-based test techniques

Which one of the following statements relating to the benefits of static testing is NOT correct?

• Static testing enables early detection of defects before dynamic testing is performed.
• Static testing reduces testing costs and time.
• Static testing increases development costs and time.
• Static testing identifies defects which are not easily found by dynamic testing.

A virtual service emulating a real third-party service and the automated test scripts (aimed at testing the system under test) that interact with that service, are test work products that are typically created during:

• Test monitoring and control
• Test implementation
• Test design
• Test analysis

In which one of the following test techniques are test cases derived from the analysis of the software architecture?

• Black-box test techniques.
• Experience-based test techniques.
• Checklist-based test techniques.
• White-box test techniques.

Which of the following s the most correct statement about state testing techniques?

• Static techniques can be used before all code is ready for execution
• Static techniques find more detects then dynamic techniques.
• Static techniques can be used by inexperienced users.
• Static techniques are always cheaper than dynamic techniques.

Which of the following statements is true?

• In Agile software development, work product documentation tends to be lightweight and manual tests tend to be often unscripted as they are often produced using experience-based test techniques
• Sequential development models impose the use of systematic test techniques and do not allow the use of experience-based test techniques
• In Agile software development, the first iterations are exclusively dedicated to testing activities, as testing will be used to drive development, which will be performed in the subsequent iterations
• Both in Agile software development and in sequential development models, such as the V-model, test levels tend to overlap since they do not usually have defined entry and exit criteria
