NEW QUESTION 16
A company that sells an established capture-replay execution tool is adding a test management tool. Same team, same technology, incremental development (V-model per increment), known first-year features; later features driven by customer demand.
Which two of the following factors are most likely to influence the estimation technique that would be selected in this scenario?

Estimation error

Data availability

Expert availability

Knowledge in modelling

Time constraints

According to theISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Manager v3.0 Syllabus (Chapter 3: Test Planning, Monitoring, and Control), the choice oftest estimation techniquedepends on several influencing factors, including data availability, expert availability, and knowledge of historical information or models.
“The selection of a suitable estimation approach (metrics-based or expert-based) depends on factors such as the availability of relevant historical data, the availability of experts with appropriate experience, the time available to perform estimation, and the knowledge of applicable models.” (ISTQB CTAL-TM v3.0 Syllabus, Chapter 3 – Test Planning, Section: Test Estimation) Analysis for this scenario:
* The organization isadding a test management toolto anexisting productusing thesame team and technology- implyingavailability of previous project datafrom similar development work.#Data availability(B) is a significant factor, enabling the use ofmetrics-based estimation.
* Thesame experienced teamis working on the project, meaningdomain and technical expertsare available.#Expert availability(C) also influences estimation and may support anexpert-based estimationapproach for new, customer-driven increments.
Therefore, the combination ofdata availability (B)andexpert availability (C)most strongly influences the estimation technique to be applied in this scenario.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. Estimation error- This is a result of estimation, not a factor influencing the choice of estimation technique.
* D. Knowledge in modelling- While useful, modelling is not central to this specific context because data and experts are readily available.
* E. Time constraints- Not highlighted as a limiting factor in this scenario; estimation can be planned adequately given the context.

* Lists influencing factors for selecting estimation techniques:availability of historical data, expert knowledge, applicable models, and time available for estimation.

ii. All test cases have been run
iii. 80% decision coverage for all tests run
iv. At least 30 defects have been found
v. At least two weeks of test execution
vi. No more open defects

iii for component testing, v for system testing

ii for component testing, iv for system testing

iii for component testing, i for system testing

v for component testing, vi for system testing

NEW QUESTION 19
You have been contracted to manage the user acceptance testing of a new reservation system for a travel agency. The reservation system is being developed by a third party. Detailed specifications are available, and an estimate of the total development effort exists. The system will be delivered in four agreed increments.

NEW QUESTION 20
You are a test consultant involved in setting up and implementing retrospectives in an organisation that is developing software based on an Agile lifecycle. The Agile teams are experiencing problems on product quality, so the retrospectives will be specifically focused on the testing practices and processes.
Which of the following is an example of a good practice for a test retrospective?

Only testers should be involved in the retrospectives since they perform testing and will know what should be improved

Because an Agile team is empowered, all improvement actions should reside within the team

Brainstorming sessions can be used to generate ideas on how to resolve the root causes of testing issues identified

An action plan for the improvements identified is too much documentation in an Agile context; the team members are already motivated to implement the improvements based on the retrospective
