You are using this skills assessment spreadsheet in order to define a training development plan for your test team.

Your objective is to fill the skill gaps by having at least a teammember rated as an expert for each skill identified for the “technical expertise” and “testing skills” sections, and with the ability to train the other team members.

Considering the budget constraints you can send only one person to a training course.

Based only on the given information, which of the following answers would you expect to be the best option to achieve your objective?

Moreover the following quality risk item has been identified as “critical”:

QR-P1. The web customer portal might not be able to provide the expected response time (less than 10 sec) for the purchase transactions under a load ofup-to 1000 concurrent users

Test analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have been identified:

TC-SEL-01. Test the combinations of products and durations to define an item to purchase

TC-SEL-02. Test the maximum number of items, which can be added to the shopping cart

TC-PUR-01. Test the purchase of an item

TC-PUR-02. Test the purchase of an item with the credit charged on the smartcard

Consider the following test strategies:

I. Consultative teststrategy

II. Reactive test strategy

III. Analytical test strategy

IV. Process-compliant test strategy

Consider also the following examples of test activities:

2. Execute usability testing driven by the guidance of a sample of users (external to the test team)

3. Perform exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phase

4. On an Agile project, execute tests that cover the test conditions identified for each user story of a feature planned for an iteration

Which of the following correctly matches each test strategy with an appropriate example?
