8. Which of the following statements about the regression test strategy is TRUE, according to Automotive SPICE ®?

• The regression test strategy defines the test stage specific test environments and which tests

  are to be executed in which test environments

• The regression test strategy defines the selection of appropriate test cases for regression

  testing, including a set of test cases selected as a basis set to be executed

• The regression test strategy typically defines the cross-test stage procedure for the selection of

  regression tests

• The regression test strategy is an abstract description of the planned test levels and how to

  proceed within those test stages. It is valid for one organization or one program, for one or

  more projects

10. You are the test manager for a tier-1-supplier and you are responsible for defining the component verification strategy and criteria according to Automotive SPICE® (SWE.4). The components to be verified are safety relevant ones (up to ASIL-B) as well as non-safety relevant components. According to the process requirements of the OEM, the supplier should confirm MISRA-compliance and comply with the guidelines for functional safety.

Which of the following measures is INAPPLICABLE as part of a suit-able verification strategy?

• a) Dynamic Black-Box tests of the components with the objective of achieving 100% requirements

  coverage for the safety relevant components

• b) Tool-supported measuring of the condition coverage of the tested components, to ensure 100%

  plausibility of the test results

• c) Tool-supported static analysis to achieve MISRA compliance of the source code of the

  components

• d) Code reviews to check the understandability and correctness of comments in the source code

  of the components
