A test manager is facilitating a lessons-learned session for a project that had both successes and failures. The team is enthusiastic about sharing successes but hesitant to discuss failures. The test manager wants to ensure that failures are also captured. What is the most effective technique?

Have the test manager list the failures and ask the team to confirm.

Ask targeted questions about what did not go well and why, while maintaining a blame-free atmosphere.

End the session early if the team is hesitant.

Focus only on successes to keep the team motivated.

A test manager is preparing the test summary report for a release that met its exit criteria. During the final test execution, a small number of defects were deferred to the next release with stakeholder approval. The test manager wants to provide an accurate and transparent summary. What should the test manager include in the report?

A summary of the test results, the exit criteria status, and a section describing the deferred defects and their impact.

The exit criteria status and a recommendation to release, but no details on defects since they were approved for deferral.

Only the results that show the exit criteria were met, and omit the deferred defects to avoid confusion.

A detailed list of all test cases executed, including every pass/fail result, without interpretation.

What is the purpose of including deviations in a test summary report?

To list all the testers' personal achievements

To describe the marketing plan for the product launch

To provide a detailed account of the project's financial expenditures

To document any differences between the planned and actual testing activities

Which of the following is typically included in the scope of test completion activities?

Conducting a code review of the application under test

Writing new test cases for the next release

Setting up the test environment for the next test cycle

Reviewing the test plan to ensure it was followed and updating it if necessary
