NEW QUESTION 26
Assume you are the Test Manager in charge of independent testing for avionics applications.
You are in charge of testing for a project to implement three different CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item):
-
a BOOT-X CSCI that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard
-
a DIAG-X CSCI that must be certified at level C of the DO-178B standard
-
a DRIV-X CSCI that must be certified at level A of the DO-178B standard
These are three different software modules written in C language to run on a specific hardware platform.
You have been asked to select a single code coverage tool to perform the mandatory code coverage measurements, in order to meet the structural coverage criteria prescribed by the DO178B standard. This tool must be qualified as a verification tool under DO-178B.
Since there are significant budget constraints to purchase this tool, you are evaluating an open-source tool that is able to provide different types of code coverage. This tool meets perfectly your technical needs in terms of the programming language and the specific hardware platform (it supports also the specific C-compiler).
The source code of the tool is available.
Your team could easily customize the tool to meet the project needs. This tool is not qualified as a verification tool under the DO-178B.
Which of the following are the three main concerns related to that open-source tool selection?
K4 3 credits (2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)
- A. Does the tool support all the types of code coverage required from the three levels A, B, C of the DO-178B standard?
- B. What are the costs to qualify the tool as a verification tool under the DO-178B?
- C. Does the tool have a good general usability?
- D. Is the installation procedure of the tool easy?
- E. Does the tool require a system with more than 4GB of RAM memory?
- F. Is the licensing scheme of the tool compatible with the confidentiality needs of the avionics company?

NEW QUESTION 38
You are managing the system testing for a SOA based system. The integrated system consists of several subsystems:
-
A SOA middleware
-
A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system
-
A BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system
-
A SMS (Subscriber Management System) system and you performed a risk analysis based on these subsystems.
At the end of the scheduled period for test execution you produce a first classical report based on the traditional metrics of testing. Test pass/fail status and bug status (open/resolved) That table provides you a distorted picture of the quality risk, because there is no indication of the risk level of the failed tests, the tests not run, or the open bugs. Thus, you produce the following table to solve this distortion issue:
In the table above, where you have introduced the concept of risk weighting, the highest risk test or bug report has a score of 1, while the lowest risk test or bug report has a score of 0.04.
Which of the following subsystems, based on the risk scores of the table, is most risky?
K4 3 credits
- A. BRM
- B. CRM
- C. SMS

Test Management
You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features.
There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birthdate, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password.
A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department.
Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console.
You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA.
Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis?
- A. The late delivery of the authentication feature to the test team causes delays in the start of test execution and this could result in a shorter test period
- B. The authentication system grants access to a special user with a wrong password
- C. The authentication system denies access for a special user with a wrong password, but doesn't display a special warning on the system console
