BCS Exam TM12 Topic 2 Question 106 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's TM12 exam
Question #: 106
Topic #: 2
[All TM12 Questions]

Consider an information system of a Pay-Tv company based on a SOA architecture.

The integrated system currently consists of three core systems:

- a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system

- a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system

- a CAS (Conditional Access System) system

all of them communicating with SOA Middleware.

You have been asked to manage the testing activities for the integration of two additional off-the-shelf systems from two different vendors: a SMS (Short Message Service) server and an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system.

Assume that there is a high likelihood that the two off-the-shelf systems will be low-quality and that you have a clear proof that the testing performed by the two vendors on their systems has been unsystematic and unprofessional. This obviously leads to higher quality risk for the overall integrated system.

You are the Test Manager of this project. Your main goal is to plan for testing activities to mitigate this risk.

Which of the following answers best describes the test activities (assuming it is possible to perform all of them) you should plan for?

Number of correct responses: 1

I'm picturing the test team right now, chugging coffee and running every possible test scenario. Option D is the only way to go, but I hope they have a good supply of caffeine!

I'm going to have to disagree with option A. 'Informal and minimal' acceptance testing is not going to cut it here. We need to be extra cautious and do it right. Option D is the way to go, no doubt.

Option A is too risky, we can't afford to be lax with testing.

Option B sounds tempting, but with the quality concerns, I don't think we can skip the acceptance testing of the off-the-shelf systems. Let's go with option D and be thorough.

I'm going with option C. System integration testing and end-to-end testing will be crucial to identify any issues arising from the integration of the new systems with the existing SOA architecture.

I think option D is the best choice here. Given the high likelihood of quality issues with the off-the-shelf systems, we need to plan for adequate re-testing to ensure they are working as expected before integrating them with the core systems.
