Exactprep TMMi-P_Syll2020 Questions

In the TMMi framework,specific goalscan indeed havedifferent specific practicesacross maturity levels. The practices associated with a specific goal evolve as an organization matures, reflecting the need for more sophisticated approaches at higher levels of maturity. For example, test design practices atLevel 2 are more basic compared to the more comprehensive practices at Level 3, which include integration with other lifecycle processes.

The other statements are incorrect. For instance, sub-practices are informative and not mandatory, and while generic goals have the same set of practices across process areas, specific goals vary by maturity level.

In the context of TMMi, the focus of test process improvement is usually driven by business needs that aim to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and predictability of the testing process. The typical business reasons for test improvement include:

Increase predictability of testing(Option B): This refers to making the testing process more reliable and consistent, allowing better planning and forecasting of testing activities.

Reduce the costs of failure by improving effectiveness of testing(Option C): This is a direct goal of test process improvement, as it helps catch defects earlier, reducing costs associated with defects in later stages of the lifecycle.

Reduce time to market by increasing efficiency of testing activities(Option D): By making testing more efficient, organizations can release products faster while maintaining or improving quality.

Option A,Introduce a new process improvement framework, isNOTa typical business reason for test improvement. This refers to the introduction of a framework, which could be part of a process improvement strategy but is not a direct business reason for improving testing. Test improvement efforts are generally focused on achieving tangible business benefits, such as cost reduction, risk mitigation, or faster delivery, rather than the implementation of a specific framework for its own sake.

TMMi emphasizes business-driven goals for process improvement that align with reducing risks, enhancing quality, and improving testing efficiency and effectiveness​.

The assessment described, where only interviews are used to collect evidence, aligns with aninformal TMMi assessment. Informal assessments are more flexible and do not require documentary evidence to corroborate interview data. They provide an indicative view of the organisation’s maturity but do not result in a formal maturity rating or certification​​.

For safety-critical systems, reliability testing is a key concern. The identified shortcoming relates to the lack of formal techniques and approaches for reliability testing. TheNon-Functional Testingprocess area, at TMMi Level 3, addresses testing non-functional aspects like reliability, performance, and usability. This process area would need specific attention as it provides a structured approach to assess non-functional risks, define testing techniques, and execute tests to verify the reliability of the product, which is critical for medical systems.
