Which of the following is the best description of load testing?

It focuses on the ability of the system to handle loads that are gradually increased to reach the expected maximum

It focuses on the ability of the system to handle loads that are at or beyond the expected peak load

It focuses on the ability of the system to meet future efficiency requirements

It focuses on the ability of the system to respond to quick and extreme changes in load

If you are testing from the UI and you need to simulate the amount of time it will take a real user to read a prompt and enter data in a field, what should you implement in your test script?

Wait time

Think time

Latency time

Reading time

What is a pay-as-you-go tool?

A tool with a licensing agreement that requires you to pay only for the number of virtual users and instances that you actually use

A server-based tool that provides you with full ownership of the tool for your usage

A monitoring tool that populates the dashboard with pertinent metrics based on what you have paid to monitor

A tool that provides the ability to test from multiple points of presence for load generation

Which of the following is an advantage of having the whole team responsible for quality?

Companies no longer need to recruit and train software testing specialists

Test automation tasks are now the responsibility of the development team instead of the test team

Role barriers are eliminated, and team members contribute to project success based on their unique skills and perspectives

Project costs are lower because the need for a specialized test team is eliminated

Which of the following statements are true? 1. Early feedback gives the developers more time to develop new system features because they spend less time reworking features expected in earlier iterations 2. Early feedback enables agile teams to deliver features with the highest business value first, because the customer maintains focus on features with the highest system value 3. Early feedback reduces costs because it decreases the amount of time needed for system testing 4. Early feedback makes it more likely that the system built is what the customer wanted because they are given the opportunity to make changes throughout the product development process

6. Which of the following BEST describes a tester participating in a retrospective meeting?

As a tester participating in a retrospective meeting, I should bring in topics that are related to testing only. All other topics will be covered by different participants

As a tester, I participate in a retrospective meeting as an observer, ensuring that the meeting follows the retrospective rules and agile values

As a tester participating in a retrospective meeting, I should provide feedback and input on all activities conducted by the team during the sprint

As a tester, I should only attend and participate in a retrospective meeting if I have any feedback and input related to activities conducted by the team during the sprint

7. Which of the following items should NOT be raised during a retrospective meeting?

There should be more emphasis on unit testing in the future, to improve overall quality

The build process is manual and takes too long. Research and implementation of an automated build framework should be done

Tester XYZ is struggling to find defects. Test design training is required for this resource

Automated regression test suites are taking too long to run. A review of the tests, to eliminate redundant or unnecessary tests, is required

8. Which of the following is NOT a principle of continuous integration?

Continuous integration helps to build changed software regularly, including testing and deploying, in an automated way

Continuous integration allows new builds to be available frequently to testers and stakeholders

Continuous integration helps to identify new integration defects early and makes the analysis of these defects easier

Continuous integration ensures that testing of builds is done manually, as this generates more reliable results than automated scripts

9. What is the most appropriate explanation of a ‘user story’?

An artifact that the tester must review and sign off before testing can begin

An artifact used to detail only the functional requirements of the system

An artifact documented by business representatives to help developers and testers understand the system requirements

An artifact written collaboratively by developers, testers, and business representatives to capture requirements

10. Which of the following is best at showing the team’s progress against estimates?

Burndown charts

Automation logs

The agile task board showing user story and task progress

Defect tracking tools

What is the best environment to use for performance testing?

The production environment

A complete replica of the production environment

The sandbox environment

The development environment
