Topic #: 1

[All ATM Questions]

You are a Test Manager working for a software organization where reviews have never been applied. After a meeting with your managers examining a business case for reviews, (including their costs, benefits, and potential issues), the management finally decides to adopt formal reviews for future projects.

You have been given a budget that you have spent to provide training in the review process and to introduce the review process on a pilot project.

On that pilot project the introduction of reviews has been very positive in terms of positive involvement from all the participants. All the reviews applied to different documents have been very effective for their purposes (especially at revealing defects).

Which of the following answers describes an important success factor for the introduction of formal reviews which is missing in this scenario?

AManagement support

BParticipant support

CDefinition and use of metrics to measure the ROI (Return On Investment)

Nailed it! The missing piece is definitely the metrics to measure the ROI. Without that, it's like trying to justify a new coffee machine in the break room - no one's gonna take you seriously. Gotta show 'em the money, am I right?

Hmm, this scenario is almost perfect, but I agree with the others - the lack of metrics to measure the ROI is a real oversight. I mean, how else are you going to convince the bean counters that all this review stuff is worth the investment? Gotta have the numbers to back it up, my friend.

Wow, this is a tricky one! All the options seem pretty important, but I think the definition and use of metrics to measure the ROI is the secret sauce that's missing here. Without that, how can you prove the reviews are worth the effort, you know?

The scenario seems to have covered all the key elements for a successful review process introduction - management support, participant buy-in, and effective training. The missing piece could be the use of metrics to measure the ROI, which is crucial for justifying the investment.
