Discuss ISQI CTAL-TM_Syll2012 Exam Topic 2 Question 94

In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of a project you are working on as Test Manager.

You have identified as one of the main project risks, that the requirements specification will still be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase.

Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test preparation. You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the same organization.

Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at mitigating this risk?

K4 3 credits

ADon't prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the new features don't introduce regression

BMake reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight tests that can be easily updated during test execution

CDon't design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that test execution is blocked due to incomplete requirements

DEven if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project manager without preparing any tests

Suggested Answer: B

Yes, we can't afford to be completely unprepared.

Luisa 2 months ago

Escalating risks is good, but we should still prepare something.

Sharee 3 months ago

Right, communication is key, but we need to test early.

Peggie 3 months ago

Plus, waiting until execution starts is a bad idea.

Luisa 3 months ago

Exactly, we can't just rely on old tests.

Sharee 3 months ago

Option A seems risky. Regression tests alone won't cover new features.

Peggie 3 months ago

Agreed, lightweight tests can adapt as we go.

Luisa 3 months ago

I think option B is the best. We need to keep moving forward.

Escalating risks is important, but D seems too passive.

Vince 4 months ago

Wait, are we really just assuming details? That feels off.

Joanna 4 months ago

A sounds risky, regression tests alone won't cut it.

Marylou 6 months ago

Totally agree with B, lightweight tests are smart!

Christoper 6 months ago

I think B is the way to go, gotta be flexible!

Escalating the risk sounds responsible, but if we don’t prepare any tests, won’t that just delay everything even more?

Elouise 7 months ago

I feel like just running the regression suite might not cover everything, especially with new features coming in. It seems risky to rely solely on that.

Vanda 7 months ago

I think we faced a similar issue in our last project, and we ended up designing lightweight tests. It seemed to work well, but I wonder if it would be enough this time.

Anika 7 months ago

I remember we discussed how making assumptions could help us move forward, but I'm not entirely sure if that’s the best approach for this situation.
