CTAL-TM Exam Dumps : Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management (CTAL-TM) v3.0

An old stock control system is being decommissioned and replaced with a new system that has been running successfully in the live environment for the last few months. The stakeholders would like to -

• retain historical information held in the database to comply with their data retention policy (which requires order information to be retained for 7 years)

• query the historical information by running pre-written SQL queries.

• all commands must be invoked by keyboard as one of the end users is unable to use a mouse

The pre-written SQL queries will be designed, developed and tested by the developers who are decommissioning the system and writing the data migration routine.

As the system to be decommissioned is integrated to other systems that will remain operational, the stakeholders have requested that testing incorporates all systems that are part of the stock control suite.

The stakeholders and project manager have identified the following risks, in priority order -

• 1st - Data has not been successfully migrated to an archived data store, resulting in the inability to query past stock levels and re-order details.

• 2nd - Historical data for the last 7 years is unavailable, resulting in the failure to meet the data retention policy.

• 3rd - Failure of existing systems within the stock control suite, adversely affecting the operational running of the business

The risks are to form the basis of the test objectives. Which three of the following test activities, work products and/or resources achieves the test objectives?

a. Use of the live database to test the data migration does not corrupt or lose data

b. A test plan detailing the test approach for ST. SIT & OT test levels

c. Accessibility testing of the pre-defined SQL queries

d. Security and Penetration testing of the archived database

e Performance testing of the data migration exercise to ensure it completes in the time specified by the stakeholders

f. Functional testing of the pre-defined SQL queries

g. Regression testing of the end to end process for maintaining specified stock levels.

Your organization has decided to augment your testing team with an offshore team. The offshore team members are experienced testers who are experts in the domain of the system under test Your team is worried about the offshore team taking their jobs and they are resistant to the change You need to pick three of your team members to be the ambassadors for the new team

Which competences will be most important for your ambassadors to possess?

You are the Test Manager of a four-person test team working for a small distribution company with a single warehouse. Your team has been working with a third party development team on a new

inventory management system. The company expects this system to generate approximately one million dollars per annum in profits for the company. Early in the project, various risks were

identified, and steps taken to mitigate those risks.

For example, you sent your test team for training on the new system, and upgraded the test environment. There are still some lingering risks that have not been addressed, but they have been

determined to have a low chance of occurring, with minimal impact if they do occur.

What would be the best option to mitigate these remaining risks? [3]
