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.

Risks should be constantly reviewed. Given the current situation, which one of the following
factors is most likely to lead to a revised view of product risk?

A.
The concerns over the user interface may lead to changes to the interface which cannot
be implemented by development in time for the second test iteration.

B.
The concerns over the user interface raises the likelihood of a risk in that area and
increases the amount of test effort needed for the user interface, thereby limiting the test
effort available for other parts of the test management tool.

C.
The delivery of the application without the interface changes may upset the user
community.

D.
The method used for test estimation is not accurate enough and hence the money spent
on testing exceeded its budget.
