Your test team is in the process of completing final regression testing one week before the release date. One of your staff has just uncovered a critical defect that causes data corruption.
What should you do? [2]

• A. Write a high priority defect and call the business stakeholders to warn them about it
• B. Update the weekly status charts and change the project status to red
• C. Write a high priority defect and follow the escalation communication plan as defined in your test plan
• D. Update the risks in your test plan to cover data corruption issues and update your test cases to be sure you test for this in the future

You are working with a development team who have a CI/CD pipeline implemented. They want to integrate your team's existing test automation into the pipeline to augment their unit tests so they will have continuous testing. They have already determined that this is technically possible with the tool you are using but with require some changes to the test automation framework to integrate the results reporting What will your team need to make this happen?

• A. investigation of the licensing models of the tool and an understanding of any potential costs
• B. Training regarding how to make the framework modifications so the integration is possible
• C. A review to determine if this is the best tool to use for the integration with the CI/CD pipeline
• D. Investigation that the tool will be fit for purpose

During what step of the Fundamental Test Process should you define the methods to be used to collect test metrics?

• A. Planning
• B. Closure
• C. Execution
• D. Analysis

'Safe as Houses' is a company that specialises in home security software, including alarm systems, surveillance cameras and other forms of deterrence.
It is currently developing the software for a device which simulates an active television, producing sound and light images that suggest someone is home watching the television. 'Safe as Houses' recently won a lucrative contract to supply the software to Smart Alarms', who will be manufacturing the hardware devices Sound will be created using actual television and film archives, licensed through a third-party supplier, 'Silver Sound Ltd'. A user interface will be developed in house to allow the customer to choose sound tracks.
The software will be delivered as a programme of work, consisting of three projects. Project 1 will develop the software for the light images. Project 2 will develop the sound system and Project 3 will integrate the two using hardware prototypes supplied from 'Smart Alarms'. The programme will conclude with 'Smart Alarms' performing User Acceptance testing in usability labs.
The 'Safe as Houses' test team has experience in testing alarm and surveillance systems but lacks experience in testing light imagery software. The organisational test policy includes the following objectives:
1 Exploratory testing should be used to augment more formal, structured testing within constraints of time and budget
2. Test automation tools should be purchased and employed to maximise the breadth and efficiency of regression testing The Programme risk register currently includes the following risks:
RISK1 Working prototypes will be delivered late to the integration test environments RISK 2 A delay in signing the contract with 'Silver Sound Ltd' will impact the programme schedule RISK 3 Inexperience in testing light imagery software will cause major defects to be missed RISK 4 The user interface software for the sound systems will be delivered late into testing Refer to SCENARIO 2 - The IT Director for 'Safe as Houses' is recruiting a Programme Test Manager and has been provided with a skills matrix for four prospective candidates. The matrix shows the skill level (5 being highest. 1 lowest) for each candidate:
