process and testing is considered to be, at best, ad-hoc in approach. The IT director is keen to introduce

improvement across all areas of the organization, not just testing. This is so that the current level of maturity

‘Safe as Houses’ is a company that specializes in home security software, including alarm systems,

surveillance cameras and other forms of deterrence.

It is currently developing the software for a device which simulates an active television, producing sound and

light images that suggest someone is home watching the television. ‘Safe as Houses’ recently won a lucrative

contract to supply the software to ‘Smart Alarms’, who will be manufacturing the hardware devices. Sound will

be created using actual television and film archives, licensed through a third-party supplier, ‘Silver Sound Ltd’. A

user interface will be developed in house to allow the customer to choose sound tracks.

The software will be delivered as a program of work, consisting of three projects. Project 1 will develop the

software for the light images, Project 2 will develop the sound system and Project 3 will integrate the two using

hardware prototypes supplied from ‘Smart Alarms’. The program will conclude with ‘Smart Alarms’ performing

User Acceptance testing in usability labs.

The ‘Safe as Houses’ test team has experience in testing alarm and surveillance systems but lacks experience

in testing light imagery software. The organizational test policy includes the following objectives:

1. Exploratory testing should be used to augment more formal, structured testing within constraints of time and

budget

2. Test automation tools should be purchased and employed to maximize the breadth and efficiency of

regression testing

The Program risk register currently includes the following risks:

Refer to SCENARIO. You are writing the Master Test Plan for Project 2 and must include a section

to manage each risk.

Which one of the following is the MOST appropriate entry for the Master Test Plan for RISK 4 “The user

interface software for the sound systems will be delivered late into testing”?
