You are the Test Manager on a project following an iterative life-cycle model. The project should consist of nine iterations of one month duration each. It is planned to develop the most important features to have a stable core of the application in the first three iterations and to add the additional features in the last six iterations.
At the beginning of the first iteration, only a draft version of the requirements specification document for the core features is available. Assume that during each of the first three iterations, the chosen features are fully completed and unit tested.
Which of the following statements is true in this context?

Applying the same test strategy as a sequential model seems risky.

Wait, are we really supposed to test everything only in the last iteration?

Allocating effort for system testing in the first three iterations makes sense!

I disagree, system testing should happen throughout the iterations.

The system test phase should start when all requirements are frozen.

I recall that applying a sequential strategy in an iterative model might not be the best approach, but I can't remember the exact reasons we discussed.

I'm a bit confused about whether we should allocate a lot of effort for system testing early on. I thought we usually wait until features are more stable.

I think we practiced a question similar to this where we had to decide on testing efforts in an iterative model. I feel like we should focus on testing throughout the iterations, not just at the end.

I remember we discussed that system testing typically starts after requirements are finalized, but I'm not sure if that applies here since it's iterative.

Ah, I've got this! The 'keep teams stable' target is all about maintaining consistent team composition to protect quality. Option A sounds right to me.

I remember practicing questions about how takt relates to production flow, but I can't quite connect it to the specific options here.

Alright, I've got a strategy here. I'll start by looking at the ssldump output to see if there are any obvious mismatches between the client and server SSL/TLS versions or cipher suites. That should give me a good clue as to where the problem is.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking about the main advantage of using ICT, or just one of the benefits? I'll need to re-read the options and try to determine the most important or central benefit.

Applying the same test strategy as used in a sequential life cycle model is not appropriate here. Iterative models require a more agile and continuous testing approach.

Allocating all the effort for the system test phase only in the last iteration is not a good idea. We should be testing the features as we build them, not waiting until the end.

But shouldn't we allocate some effort for system testing during the first three iterations as well?

I agree with Detra, it's important to have stable core features before moving to system testing.

This question is a real head-scratcher. I wonder if the test manager has ever heard of the concept of 'testing early and often'?
