Topic 4, Scenario 4, V2 “Test Management Tool”
The project situation after 11 months is:
– The first increment was released one week late but contained sufficient functionality to be
declared fit for purpose’. However, there were 20 outstanding incidents deferred to increment two.
– The amount of voluntary overtime worked PV the test team has reduced the second Increment
slippage to just 3 weeks.
– There is talk of reducing the scope of requirements. The purpose of this is to first deliver the
application with support for manual testing and then to provide a delivery * weeks later to resolve
any remaining points and provide support for automated testing (i.e. the link to the capture-replay
tool).
– Concerns have been expressed by a section of the user community, that in some places the
usability is very poor.
