Improvement models can have a staged and/or continuous representation. The TMMi has been developed as a staged model.Which of the following statements regarding a staged improvement model is TRUE?

A staged representation uses a predefined set of process areas to define an improvement path for an organization.

A Generic Goal is applicable to multiple process areas, whereas a Specific Goal is applicable to one process area only.

A Specific Goal is the institutionalization of a Generic Goal.

Generic Goals are re-used from the CMMI and the Specific Goals are related to their implementation specifically for testing.

Which of the following statements BEST describes a relationship between the TMMi model and the CMMI process areas Verification and Validation?

The TMMi process areas provide support and a more detailed description of what is required to establish a defined Verification and defined Validation process.

CMMI process areas Verification and Validation are supporting process areas for the testing processes within the TMMi.

The CMMI process areas Verification and Validation are process areas that should be addressed in parallel with the testing processes within the TMMi.

The TMMi process areas provide support and a more detailed description of what is required to establish a defined Verification and defined Validation process.

Achieving TMMi level 2 also ensures full compliance to the requirements of CMMI process areas Verification and Validation.

SG 1 Coordinate the Peer Review Approach with the Dynamic Test Approach

SG 2 Measure Product Quality Early in the Lifecycle by Means of Peer Reviews

SG 3 Adjust the Test Approach Based on Review Results Early in the Lifecycle

The specific practice ''Revise the product risks as appropriate'' is not related to a specific goal of the Advanced Reviews process area

How does TMMi support test process improvement in an Agile context?

By using TMMi as a reminder of critical testing practices that are often not defined or forgotten in Agile development methodologies.

By imposing a set of required testing practices to an Agile project.

By using TMMi as a reminder of critical testing practices that are often not defined or forgotten in Agile development methodologies.

By having a focus on defining lean test processes with an Agile mindset.

By using only the test engineering related process areas, and omitting anything that is related to improving at an organizational level.

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding test process improvement in an Agile context?

The focus is on doing test process improvement at an organizational level.

Since all team members typically perform some testing tasks in an Agile project, test improvement ideas can indeed come from any team member not just the testers.

The level of documentation is typically high, thereby allowing for many opportunities for improving the test documentation.
