Discuss BCS TM12 Exam Topic 6 Question 52

An agile development team decides to hire a tester who has always worked:

- in independent test teams, reporting the problems found in a defect tracking system

- in safety-critical projects, with a stronger focus on the quality of the product than on time and budget.

This agile team is focused on short-term goals to get the product released on time and within budget.

Which of the following answers would you expect to be most likely true in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1

AAgile teams like the presence of a tester in their teams and the tester will be able to adapt to the new context without any issue

BThe developers will immediately follow the guidelines described by the tester

CThe tester can continue to report the problems found in a defect tracking system and be more focused on the quality than on time and budget constraints

DThe tester's mission could be to verify adherence to requirements, instead of reporting formally the problems in a defect tracking system

Suggested Answer: D

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the developers might not immediately follow the tester's guidelines, so option B seems unlikely.

I feel like option D makes sense because in agile, the focus is often on working software rather than formal reporting.

I remember discussing how agile teams value collaboration, so I think the tester might struggle to adapt to the new environment.

I’m not sure, but I think the tester might find it hard to let go of the quality-first mindset in a fast-paced agile setting.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the differences between the DataFrame methods carefully.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the differences between white-box and black-box testing.
