CTAL-TTA Practice Exam Questions and Answers

When planning and specifying security tests which of the following is NOT likely to be a useful part of the approach?

You are working on the first release or an online dating service product Market research has shown that the site can expect to experience its heaviest usage during the months of January March June October. November and December During these months usage can be 2 to 10 times higher than dunng other times it has also been determined that people win not tolerate a wait time higher than 2 seconds for queries made regarding potential dates who have selected their profile Extensive usability studies have been done by the marketing department, including work with focus groups and comparative analysis of other similar sites The analysis on the project have provided detailed Ul mockups

in reading the design documents, you have discovered that the marketing team plans to run reports to analyze usage patterns to improve the advertising What item on the architecture review checklist will be important to verify to ensure these reports don’t impact the user response time?

Which of the following is a generic risk factor that should be considered by a Technical Test Analyst during a product risk analysis?

Subject to testing is a software system (COTS) for Project Administration and Control (PACS). PACS is a multi-project system for controlling the project time, e.g., in terms of scheduling and tracking, and managing the productivity of projects, e.g., in terms of effort and deliverables.

During various interviews with stakeholders the following information was gathered:

• Using PACS is not business critical. There is no impact such as high financial losses or problems to the operational continuity of an organization. Its application is not critical since the software package does not support directly the operational, or the primary, business processes of an organization. It supports (project) management in the project planning and tracking process. Of course, it will be highly annoying for users if the system “goes down” from time to time. Although this does not have a high impact for the business process as a whole, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) still needs to be at a good level to be successful in the market.

• Users of PACS typically have an academic educational level, but have no prior experience with this particular type of project management software. The system will be used by a large number of users within an organization.

• The system will be used on a regular basis, e.g., several times per day by project managers and several times per week by project employees. This means that the system will not be used very intensively, often only for some data input or an information request. Its usage is not considered to be very time-critical.

• The data is recorded on-line and real-time. The system is expected to run in multiple hardware environments in various network environments. It is also expected that changes in the operational environments will happen in the upcoming period that also need to be supported.

Based on the information provided by the stakeholder, which combination of non-functional quality characteristics should you propose to test as part of your test approach?

Which of the following can be executed by model-based testing tools?

Which statement about component testing tools and build automation tools is TRUE?

Consider the following control flow graph:

The control flow represents a software component of a car navigation system. Within the project the maximum cyclomatic complexity to be allowed is set at 5.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Which TWO of the following statements about Maintainability testing are TRUE?

A) It should start as soon as the draft design documents are available for review

B) An application can be considered maintainable when static analysis and code review defects have been fixed

C) It tests the regression impact of software or environmental changes to an operational system

D) It can be performed during Operational Acceptance Testing by multiple departments

E) It can be performed during User Acceptance Testing to ensure business processes can be maintained

Within the world of consumer electronics, the amount of embedded software is growing rapidly. The amount of software in high-end television sets has increased by a factor of about eight over the last six years. In addition, the market of consumer electronics has been faced with a 5 -10% price erosion per year. The price of a product is, among a number of other things, determined by the microcontroller used. Therefore, the use of ROM and RAM remains under high pressure in consumer electronic products, leading to severe restrictions on code size.

You are a Technical Test Analyst involved in the review of the architecture of this project.

Which of the following issues would be MOST important to focus on during the review and when verifying the correct implementation?
