ISTQB ATM Exam - Topic 3 Question 61 Discussion

Posted by Tammi on Oct 20, 2024 at 11:20 PM

Consider the following skills assessment spreadsheet for your test team (consisting of four team members):

This spreadsheet has three sections: technical expertise, testing skills and professionalism.

The skill levels for each skill area for both the ''technical expertise'' and ''testing skills'' sections have been rated on a four-point scale:

- E (Expert): indicates that a person has expert knowledge and experience in the skill area

- B (Beginner): indicates that a person has some knowledge and experience in the skill area but he/she is not autonomous

- W (Wants to learn): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill area but he/she wants to learn that skill

- NI (Not Interested): indicates that a person has no knowledge or experience in the skill area and he/she is not interested to learn that skill

The skill levels for each skill area of the ''professionalism'' section have been rated on a three point scale (H=High, M=Medium, L=Low).

You are using this skills assessment spreadsheet in order to define a training development plan for your test team.

Your objective is to fill the skill gaps by having at least a team member rated as an expert for each skill identified for the ''technical expertise'' and ''testing skills'' sections, and with the ability to train the other team members.

Considering the budget constraints you can send only one person to a training course.

Based only on the given information, which of the following answers would you expect to be the best option to achieve your objective?

I think Alex could benefit more from the training, though.

Totally agree, sending Robert makes the most sense!

I wonder if sending Mark to the automation course would help fill the gaps better than the others, but I’m not sure if that aligns with our main objectives.

I feel like Alex might be the best option since he has a higher rating in testing skills, but I can't recall the exact details from our study materials.
RO

I think sending Robert could be a good choice since he has some experience, but I’m not entirely confident about his performance testing skills.

I remember we practiced a similar question about team skill assessments, but I'm not sure which training would be most beneficial here.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key is to identify the skill gaps and then send the team member who can best fill those gaps and train the others. I think sending Mark to the test automation course could be a good solution.

This is a tough one. I'm not sure if sending Robert to the performance testing course is the best option, since he already has some expertise in that area. Maybe sending Alex or John would be a better way to fill the skill gaps.

Okay, I think I've got a good handle on this. Based on the information provided, I would recommend sending Robert to the performance testing training course. He seems to have the most well-rounded skills and could effectively train the rest of the team.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by all the different skill levels and rating scales. I'll need to make sure I understand the criteria before I can decide which option is the best.

This seems like a tricky question, but I think I can figure it out. I'll need to carefully analyze the skills assessment spreadsheet to identify the skill gaps and determine which team member would be the best fit for the training course.

I'm betting the person who comes up with the training plan is the one who's been sleeping through the last three team meetings.

Test automation training? Finally, my time to shine! I've been dying to get my hands on some new tools and techniques. Let's do this!

Wait, why are we sending someone to a performance testing course? I thought we needed to plug the gaps in our technical expertise and testing skills. Didn't you see the spreadsheet?

I'm already a pro at performance testing, but maybe a refresher course wouldn't hurt. Though, I'd rather not sit through another lecture on the 'importance of deadlines'.
