Last updated on May 04, 2026
Which of the following statements about the TMMi test process improvement model is true? K2 1 credit
In TMMi all the process areas at lower levels must be 75% complete by achieving specific and generic goals in order to claim the higher level
TMMi provides an approach for test process improvement such as the IDEAL (Initiating, Diagnosing, Establishing, Acting and Learning) model
TMMi has a staged architecture for process improvement with seven maturity levels
At TMMi level 1 testing is chaotic without a defined process, and it is often seen as the same as debugging

In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of a project you are working on as Test Manager. You have identified as one of the main project risks, that the requirements specification will still be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase. Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test preparation. You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the same organization. Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at mitigating this risk? K4 3 credits
Don’t prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the new features don’t introduce regression
Make reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight tests that can be easily updated during test execution
Don’t design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that test execution is blocked due to incomplete requirements
Even if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project manager without preparing any tests

Which of the following statements describing the consequences of specifying test conditions at a detailed level is NOT true? K2 1 credit
In an environment where the test basis is continuously changing, it is recommended to specify test conditions at a detailed level in order to achieve a better maintainability
The specification of test conditions at a detailed level can be effective when no formal requirements or other development work products are available
The specification of test conditions at a detailed level can require the implementation of an adequate level of formality across the team
For system testing, the specification of test conditions at a detailed level, carried out early in the project as soon as the test basis is established, can contribute to defect prevention

Which of the following would you expect to be most likely an example of a demotivating factor for testers? K2 1 credit
The management asks the testers to be kept informed about the intensity, quality and results of testing
The testers’ recommendations to improve the system or its testability are adopted by the development team
The same regressions tests are manually executed by the same testers, for every product release, without regression test tools
The testers are assessed on whether and how often they detect important and critical failures
Test quality is measured by counting the number of customer/user reported problems.
