Question 21

Which of the following sentences related to Risk-based testing is CORRECT?
SELECT ONE OPTION
Explanation:
Risk-based testing is a strategic approach to testing that prioritizes testing activities based on the level of risk associated with various features or components of the software. In Agile development, this approach aligns well with the iterative and incremental nature of Agile methodologies. During both release and iteration planning, Agile teams assess and prioritize work based on risk, value, and other factors. This double layer of risk analysis allows teams to focus their testing efforts more effectively on areas that pose the greatest risk to the project's success, thereby enhancing the quality and reliability of the deliverables. This approach is consistent with Agile principles, which emphasize adaptability and the delivery of value to the customer.
Question 22

Which statement about an Agile task board is CORRECT?
SELECT ONE OPTION
Explanation:
An Agile task board is a visual management tool used by Agile teams to track the progress of work items during an iteration or sprint. It typically includes columns for different stages of work (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done) and cards or sticky notes representing individual tasks or user stories. The task board provides a detailed visual representation of the whole team's status, allowing team members and stakeholders to quickly see what work is in progress, what has been completed, and what is yet to be started. This visibility supports transparency, one of the core values of Agile, and facilitates communication and collaboration within the team. The task board is updated regularly, often daily during stand-up meetings, to reflect the most current status of the work.
Question 23

Which of the following is the BEST way for a test team to keep its independence when working in an Agile development environment?
SELECT ONE OPTION
Explanation:
Maintaining the independence of the test team within an Agile development environment can be achieved by integrating testers into the Agile teams while ensuring they have a separate reporting line. This arrangement helps in preserving the objectivity of the testing function without isolating testers from the collaborative and fast-paced Agile environment. Testers contribute to the team's activities and participate in all Agile ceremonies, fostering a strong collaboration and understanding of the product. However, by reporting to a different manager, testers can maintain an independent perspective, which is crucial for unbiased quality assurance. This approach aligns with Agile values of collaboration and individuals and interactions over processes and tools, while also respecting the need for independent verification and validation of the software product.
