5.2 Risk Management Flashcards
(5.2.1 / K1)
During risk analysis the team considered the following risk: “The system allows too high a discount
for a customer”. The team estimated the risk impact to be very high.
What can one say about the risk likelihood?
a) It is also very high. High risk impact always implies high risk likelihood
b) It is very low. High risk impact always implies low risk likelihood
c) One cannot say anything about risk likelihood. Risk impact and risk likelihood are
independent.
d) Risk likelihood is not important with such a high-risk impact. One does not need to define it.
Select ONE option.
c) One cannot say anything about risk likelihood. Risk impact and risk likelihood are
independent.
(5.2.2 / K2)
The following list contains risks that have been identified for a new software product to be developed:
i. Management moves two experienced testers to another project
ii. The system does not comply with functional safety standards
iii. System response time exceeds user requirements
iv. Stakeholders have inaccurate expectations
v. Disabled people have problems when using the system
Which of them are project risks?
a) i, iv are project risks; ii, iii, v are not project risks
b) iv, v are project risks; i, ii, iii are not project risks
c) i, iii are project risks; ii, iv, v are not project risks
d) ii, v are project risks; i, iii, iv are not project risks
Select ONE option.
a) i, iv are project risks; ii, iii, v are not project risks
(5.2.3 / K2)
Which of the following is an example of how product risk analysis influences thoroughness and scope of testing?
a) The test manager monitors and reports the level of all known risks on a daily basis so the
stakeholders can make an informed decision on the release date
b) One of the identified risks was “Lack of support of open-source databases”, so the team
decided to integrate the system with an open-source database
c) During the quantitative risk analysis, the team estimated the total level of all identified risks
and reported it as the total residual risk before testing
d) Risk assessment revealed a very high level of performance risks, so it was decided to perform
detailed performance efficiency testing early in the SDLC
Select ONE option.
d) Risk assessment revealed a very high level of performance risks, so it was decided to perform
detailed performance efficiency testing early in the SDLC
(5.2.4 / K2)
During a risk analysis the following risk was identified and assessed:
- Risk: Response time is too long to generate a report
- Risk likelihood: medium; risk impact: high
- Response to risk:
o an independent test team
performs performance testing
during system testing
o a selected sample of end users
performs alpha and beta
acceptance testing before
the release
What measure is proposed to be taken in response to this analyzed risk?
a) Risk acceptance
b) Contingency plan
c) Risk mitigation
d) Risk transfer
Select ONE option.
c) Risk mitigation
