Each question shows the correct answer and an explanation of why it is right
An informal TMMi assessment revealed a weakness in the area of traceability of test conditions and test cases to requirements.
Which process area are you be targeting when implementing the specific practice Maintain horizontal traceability with requirements?
The specific practice 'Maintain horizontal traceability with requirements' is part of the Test Design and Execution process area in TMMi. This process area ensures that there is traceability between test conditions, test cases, and requirements to ensure comprehensive test coverage. Horizontal traceability guarantees that test cases can be traced back to the specific requirements they are intended to verify, which is critical for managing and ensuring the quality of the testing process.
TMMi Reference:
The Test Design and Execution process area includes practices that ensure test artifacts are traceable to requirements, supporting effective test coverage.
Which of the following is FALSE about the specific goal 1 Align Test Measurement and Analysis Activities in process area 4.1 Test Measurement?
The statement that Specific Goal 1 of the Test Measurement (4.1) process area covers the communication of test measurement results after analysis is FALSE. Specific Goal 1 focuses on aligning test measurement and analysis activities, which involves setting measurement objectives, specifying the measures to be taken, and establishing procedures for data collection, storage, and analysis. However, the communication of results comes under Specific Goal 2, which deals with the analysis and reporting of test measurement results.
TMMi Reference:
Test Measurement at TMMi Level 4 includes defining measures, data collection, and storage as part of aligning test measurement and analysis activities, while communicating results is part of a different goal.
Which of the following is an Agile practice that can be applied as a way to establish a test strategy (SG2) within the Test Policy and Strategy process area?
The Testing quadrants model is an Agile practice that helps establish a test strategy, as it provides a framework for categorising different types of tests (e.g., business-facing or technology-facing) and helps in balancing test activities. Within the TMMi Level 2 process area for Test Policy and Strategy, testing quadrants offer an Agile way to define and implement a test strategy that ensures comprehensive testing across various levels and types of testing activities.
Reference: 'TMMi Level 2 Test Policy and Strategy can incorporate Agile practices like testing quadrants to define test strategies that align with business needs and risk levels'.
A test process assessment has been performed at an embedded software organization. All process areas at TMMi Levels 2 and 3 were in scope of the assessment. Many practices required by the TMMi model are already in place, but the organization is missing a master test plan spanning multiple test levels.
Which of the following process areas would most likely need specific attention to address the above-mentioned shortcoming?
The absence of a master test plan spanning multiple test levels points to a weakness in the Test Lifecycle and Integration process area, which is a TMMi Level 3 process area. This process area focuses on ensuring that testing is integrated throughout the development lifecycle and includes the development of comprehensive test plans (including master test plans) that cover multiple test levels and align with the overall testing strategy.
TMMi Reference:
The Test Lifecycle and Integration process area at TMMi Level 3 addresses the need for comprehensive and integrated test planning across all test levels.
Consider the following specific goal ''Project Goals for Product Quality and their Priorities are Established''.
To which of the following process areas does this specific goal belong?
The specific goal 'Project Goals for Product Quality and their Priorities are Established' belongs to the Product Quality Evaluation process area, which is part of TMMi Level 4. This process area focuses on defining measurable and prioritised project goals for product quality and managing actual progress towards those goals throughout the lifecycle. Product quality goals typically include both functional and non-functional aspects of the system.
Reference: 'TMMi Level 4 Product Quality Evaluation SG 1 Establish Measurable and Prioritized Project Goals for Product Quality'.
Which of the following is NOT a source used during the development of the TMMi model?
ISO/IEC 15504, which is known for its process assessment model, was not one of the sources used during the development of the TMMi model. The TMMi model was developed using inputs from sources such as the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), international testing standards (like those from ISO and IEEE), and industry testing best practices surveys. While the ISO/IEC 15504 model has relevance to general process assessments, it was not specifically referenced in the creation of the TMMi.
Reference: 'TMMi was guided by sources such as CMMI, industry best practices, and international standards but not by ISO/IEC 15504'.
Which of the following is NOT a TMMi level 2 Process Area?
Peer Reviews is NOT a TMMi Level 2 process area. Peer Reviews is a process area at TMMi Level 3. At Level 3, organizations formalize their testing processes, including peer reviews, which involve static testing activities like inspections and walkthroughs to identify defects early.
Test Policy and Strategy, Test Monitoring and Control, and Test Environment are all process areas at TMMi Level 2.
TMMi Reference:
Peer Reviews are introduced at TMMi Level 3, whereas Test Policy and Strategy, Test Monitoring and Control, and Test Environment are process areas at Level 2.
