Question 7

Which of the following statements would you expect to be the MOST direct advantage of the whole-team approach?

  1. Reducing the involvement of business representatives because of the increased communication and collaboration between testers and developers.
  2. Having at least once a day an automated build and test process that detects integration errors early and quickly.
  3. Avoiding requirements misunderstandings which may not have been detected until later in the development cycle when they are more expensive to fix.
  4. Capitalizing on the combined skills of business representatives, testers and developers working together to contribute to project success.

Question 8

You are working on an Agile project and have been asked to implement exploratory testing for the current sprint. Which one of the following is a correct approach to adopt?

  1. Allocate independent testers to design exploratory tests using test charters in time boxed sessions. Plan to run all sessions in parallel with each session lasting more than 5 hours.
  2. Ask experienced testers to prepare test charters for time boxed sessions lasting no more than 2 hours. Tests should be designed and executed within each session using heuristics, creativity and intuition.
  3. Ask experienced testers to try and find new defects by using the system without the constraint of documentation and tools.
  4. Use testers who have not been involved in the sprint to write new test cases from the user stories. These test cases are then executed in a time boxed session for the sprint.
