Test Management
In the test strategy document your organization declares:
- to adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testing: unit, integration and system testing
- to use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of testing The following is an excerpt of the "approach" section for the system test plan document of a new project:
"Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test analysis and test design.
Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed (passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected)." In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.
Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?

• A.  The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the risk-based testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the regression testing strategy

Consider the following scenario:

• B.  Your developers are using a waterfall methodology.
• C.  There is a risk that the system architecture may have to be changed during the development process.
• D.  A requirements traceability matrix will be created at the start of each iteration.

Most managers in your company consider the efforts of your test team valuable, while others see comprehensive testing as an unnecessary cost overhead to the SDLC.
