ISTQB Exam ATM Topic 2 Question 49 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATM exam

Question #: 49
Topic #: 2

A chart showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution during system testing is also available. The chart shows that the daily closure period is consistently and significantly above the rolling closure period for a long period of the system testing phase. Almost all defects found during system testing have been related to the system as a whole, not related to single units or integrations issues. Almost all quality risks have been addressed during the unit and integration testing phase and no residual quality risks were present in the integrated system. This has been confirmed by exploratory testing sessions performed during system testing, targeted at finding defects in these quality risk areas. Based on the given information only, which one of the following areas would you expect to be considered more in the retrospective meeting in order to be improved?

I think both the defect management process and quality risk analysis process need to be improved for better system testing outcomes.

I believe the quality risk analysis process should also be a focus in the retrospective meeting.

Defect management, definitely. And let's hope they have a good sense of humor – they're gonna need it after this wild ride!

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The quality risk analysis process seems like it could use some work too, since there were residual issues that made it to system testing. Maybe they need to take a harder look at that.

I agree, the defect management process is the obvious choice here. All the other areas seem to have been well-addressed, so the retrospective should really focus on streamlining the defect resolution workflow.

The defect management process seems like the area that needs the most attention. With the consistently high daily closure period, there's clearly room for improvement in how defects are being handled.
