Which of the following statements is FALSE?

When doing TMMi test process improvement in an Agile organization, an initial set of TMMi practices of TMMi must be imposed on an organization and applied to be applied to prove compliance.

TMMi practices are an expected component, and they can be achieved by an ''alternative'' practice in an Agile context.

TMMi refers to the fact that testing should be an integrated part of software development and not be treated as something that is totally separate. As such TMMi and Agile approaches can effectively work together.

Agile approaches and TMMi can not only co-exist, but when successfully integrated will bring substantial benefits.

When doing TMMi test process improvement in an Agile organization, an initial set of TMMi practices of TMMi must be imposed on an organization and applied to be applied to prove compliance.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Both in Agile and traditional environments, a centralized TMMi process improvement project should be set up to ensure proper implementation of improvement actions across the organization.

The focus of improvements in an Agile context is often not on cross-project learning and institutionalization of improvements but on continuous improvements locally.

Both in Agile and traditional environments, a centralized TMMi process improvement project should be set up to ensure proper implementation of improvement actions across the organization.

In an Agile context, there may be a single combined ''test document'' covering the essential elements of a test policy, test strategy and even high-level test plan. Test process improvers should make ''improvement'' suggestions which call for more rigorous and thorough test documentation.

In an Agile context, the range and number of alternative improvement ideas to be considered may be significantly higher than compared to non-Agile life cycle models.

Consider the following five statements about TMMi level 2 process areas in an Agile context. Which of these statements are true, and which ones are false?a. Test performance indicators in an Agile context at TMMi level 2 are always more related to team performance (for example, Velocity) than to the end-results of iterations (such as escaped defects).b. The product risk assessment process for Agile projects will normally take a more lightweight approach than with a sequential lifecycle model.c. The process area Test Monitoring and Control in an Agile context is not as important as in a traditional methodology, since sticking to a rigid plan is not one of the tenets of the Agile manifesto nor one of the principles of Agile.d. For TMMi in an Agile project, it is not necessary to have traceability between requirements, test conditions and tests, because test conditions are not part of an Agile methodology.e. Following the principles of Agile development, the specification of test environments is normally performed closer to test execution than in a sequential methodology, to provide the opportunity for late changes to be implemented.

Statements (A. and (E. are true, statements (b), (C. and (D. are false

Statement (B. is true, statements (a), (c), (D. and (E. are false

Statements (B. and (C. are true, statements (a), (D. and (E. are false

Statements (B. and (D. are true, statements (a), (C. and (E. are false

Which of the following statements is TRUE with respect to TMMi Levels 4 and 5 in an Agile context?

Agile projects normally do not use operational profiles or usage models of a product on which to base statistically valid inferences to help create a representative sample of tests, thus the TMMi level 5 specific goal ''Testing is performed using Statistical Methods'' is considered not relevant in an Agile context.

Because Agile projects tend to focus on defect detection rather than defect prevention, Process area 5.1 Defect Prevention is less relevant when assessing an Agile organisation for TMMi level 5.

Process area 4.3 Advanced Reviews is less relevant in an Agile context because quality tends to be a team effort and verification and validation tend to be discussed at team meetings, not in formal reviews.

When considering the achievement of specific goals in process area 5.3 Test Process Optimization in an Agile context, the deployment of new testing technologies and test improvements do not have to be made across the whole organization, since Agile teams are autonomous and can decide which improvements suit their way of working best.

Agile projects normally do not use operational profiles or usage models of a product on which to base statistically valid inferences to help create a representative sample of tests, thus the TMMi level 5 specific goal ''Testing is performed using Statistical Methods'' is considered not relevant in an Agile context.

Advantages of informal assessments over formal assessments include: they are less time consuming; they are less costly; they provide a result just as accurate as with a formal assessment.

An informal assessment is a quick scan of an organization's maturity level against TMMi, but no formal rating is given.

Advantages of informal assessments over formal assessments include: they are less time consuming; they are less costly; they provide a result just as accurate as with a formal assessment.
