A software development organization wants to introduce some specific improvements to its test
process. Currently, most of their testing resources are focussedon system testing. They are
developing embedded software, and do not have a simulation environment to enable them to
execute software modules on the development host. They have been advised that introducing
inspections and reviews could be the most appropriate step forward.

Topic 3, Scenario 3 “Tool Selection and Implementation”
Your company is considering whether or not to purchase a test tool suite from a respectable
vendor. Your manager has searched the internet for comparable products but none of them meets
his specific requirements. A tool demonstration has been arranged for next week and your team
has been invited to attend. The tool suite consists of a test management tool, test execution tool
and a requirements management tool. There is the possibility of adding a performance testing tool
at a later stage. You have decided to attend the demo but raise some issues beforehand regarding expectations.
