An organization already at TMMi level 4 is now trying to also achieve TMMi level 5 compliance.
Which of the following process areas is within the scope of this specific test improvement programme?
Consider the following five statements about TMMi level 2 process areas in an Agile context. Which of these statements are true, and which ones are false?
a. Test performance indicators in an Agile context at TMMi level 2 are always more related to team performance (for example, Velocity) than to the end-results of iterations (such as escaped defects).
b. The product risk assessment process for Agile projects will normally take a more lightweight approach than with a sequential lifecycle model.
c. The process area Test Monitoring and Control in an Agile context is not as important as in a traditional methodology, since sticking to a rigid plan is not one of the tenets of the Agile manifesto nor one of the principles of Agile.
d. For TMMi in an Agile project, it is not necessary to have traceability between requirements, test conditions and tests, because test conditions are not part of an Agile methodology.
e. Following the principles of Agile development, the specification of test environments is normally performed closer to test execution than in a sequential methodology, to provide the opportunity for late changes to be implemented.
A test process assessment has been performed on a company developing systems for the medical industry. Their systems are classified as safety critical. One of the shortcomings identified during the assessment is related to reliability testing. Although reliability was identified by the business as a critical issue, no formal approach and test techniques are being used for reliability testing.
Which of the following process areas would need specific attention to address the above mentioned shortcoming?
