Question #: 92
Topic #: 2
[All CTFL Questions]

Which of the following principles should be followed when introducing a test tool into an organization?

(i) Assessing organizational maturity to establish whether a tool will provide expected benefits.

(ii) Requiring a quick payback on the initial investment.

(iii) Including a requirement for the tool to be easy to use without having to train unskilled testers.

(iv) Identifying and agreeing requirements before evaluating test tools.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Assessing organizational maturity (i) is very important when deciding whether to introduce a test tool, as implementing a tool in an immature test organization with poor processes is unlikely to produce any benefits.

A quick return on the initial investment (ii) in a test tool is rare.

Having a requirement that a tool should be easy to use for untrained and unskilled testers

(iii) is generally a false hope. This is comparable with expecting someone who has never driven a car to be able to drive safely and effectively.

Agreeing requirements before evaluating tools (iv) is essential. Not to do so would be comparable with building and testing a system without requirements.

In conclusion, (i) and (iv) are good principles to follow when introducing a tool and (ii) and

(iii) are not.

(iii) is a must! No one wants to train everyone on a new tool.

I'm leaning towards (i) and (iv) - assessing maturity and agreeing on requirements seem like the foundational steps before even looking at tools. The other options feel a bit short-sighted to me.

Quick payback on the investment? I'm not sure that should be the priority here. Seems like it could lead to rushing into the wrong tool just to save some money upfront.
