SWE.5 (Software Integration Test)

What is the purpose of traceability in ASPICE testing?

To record the time spent by testers on each test case.

To track the location of test environments and tools.

To ensure that test cases are written in a specific format.

To ensure that every requirement is covered by corresponding test cases and that test results can be traced back to requirements.

What is required when a test case fails during execution in ASPICE?

The test case must be deleted and rewritten.

The test case is automatically marked as passed.

The test is repeated until it passes.

The failure must be logged and a problem report must be raised.

During a test cycle, a test engineer finds a defect. The defect is fixed by the development team, and the test engineer re-runs the test. According to ASPICE, what must be done with the original problem report?

Create a new problem report for the re-test result.

Keep the problem report open indefinitely for future reference.

Delete the problem report because the defect is fixed.

Close the problem report after the re-test passes, and link the re-test result to the problem report.

How does ASPICE address test strategy and planning?

It mandates a specific test automation tool that must be used for all testing.

It leaves test planning entirely to the discretion of the test team without any formal requirements.

It requires a documented test strategy and test plan that define the scope, approach, resources, and schedule for testing activities.

It only requires a test plan for system-level testing, not for unit or integration testing.
