Question 1

Consider the following characteristics of an assessment:

* the assessment is performed by an accredited TMMi assessor.

* only interviews are used as evidence.

To which type of assessment do these characteristics relate?



Answer : A

Informal assessments, as described in the TMMi framework, are often quicker and cheaper as they do not require the extensive corroboration of evidence that formal assessments do. One key characteristic of informal assessments is that they may rely solely on interviews, without using other forms of corroboration such as documentation reviews or observations. These informal assessments provide an indicative view of the organization's maturity level but do not result in formal certification


Question 2

Which of the following statements about the Acting phase of the IDEAL improvement model is TRUE?



Answer : D

In the Acting phase of the IDEAL improvement model, the focus is on implementing the changes that were identified and planned in the earlier phases. The two main activities in this phase are Create Solution and Implement Solution. This phase generally consumes the most effort, as creating and deploying solutions to improve the processes are resource-intensive activities. These activities align with option D, making it the correct answer .


Question 3

Which of the following statements is FALSE?



Answer : D

This statement is FALSE because TMMi is flexible and does not require the imposition of a predefined set of practices in Agile organizations. Instead, it encourages the adaptation of practices to fit the Agile context. TMMi allows for alternative practices that achieve the same goals as the expected practices, making it possible to integrate testing improvements in a way that aligns with Agile principles. The focus is on continuous improvement, not compliance with rigid practices.

TMMi Reference:

TMMi emphasizes flexibility in adapting practices, particularly in Agile environments where imposed processes would contradict Agile values of adaptability and continuous improvement.


Question 4

The evolutionary testing model of Gelperin and Hetzel has served as a foundation for historical level differentiation in the TMMi. The evolutionary testing model describes a number of test phases.

Which of the following phases of the evolutionary testing model is associated with Maturity Level 1 ''Initial'' of the TMMi?



Answer : A

The Debugging-oriented phase from Gelperin and Hetzel's evolutionary testing model is associated with Maturity Level 1 'Initial' of TMMi. At this maturity level, testing is not yet a distinct and well-defined process but is often interleaved with debugging. Organizations at this level have chaotic and ad-hoc testing activities, with no separation between testing and debugging.

Maturity Level 1 organizations lack formal processes, and testing is often reactive, performed alongside fixing bugs in the code. This is in line with the debugging-oriented phase, where testing and debugging are seen as part of the same activity.

TMMi Reference:

The TMMi framework draws directly from the evolutionary model of Gelperin and Hetzel, associating the Debugging-oriented phase with Level 1, which describes a chaotic, unmanaged testing environment.


Question 5

What is an example of an indirect benefit for a test improvement program?



Answer : A

An indirect benefit of a test improvement programme is improved staff motivation. While direct benefits, such as shortened lead time or higher defect detection rates, are focused on measurable improvements, indirect benefits include enhanced morale and engagement of the staff involved. A well-structured test improvement programme can lead to better recognition of the testing function within the organisation, leading to increased satisfaction and motivation among testing professionals.

Reference: The TMMi Framework emphasises that successful test improvements often result in indirect benefits like 'improvement in staff motivation'.


Question 6

Which generic practice addresses tailoring a managed process from the organization's set of standard processes?



Answer : D

The generic practice 'Establish a defined process' addresses the need to tailor a managed process from the organization's set of standard processes. This practice is part of Generic Goal 3 (GG 3), which aims to ensure that processes are standardized and defined across the organization. By tailoring processes based on established guidelines, organizations can create specific implementations that fit their projects while maintaining consistency and control across the organization.

TMMi Reference:

In TMMi, establishing a defined process involves tailoring standard processes to suit specific project needs, ensuring the institutionalization of best practices across projects.


Question 7

Consider the following specific goal ''Project Goals for Product Quality and their Priorities are Established''.

To which of the following process areas does this specific goal belong?



Answer : B

The specific goal 'Project Goals for Product Quality and their Priorities are Established' belongs to the Product Quality Evaluation process area, which is part of TMMi Level 4. This process area focuses on defining measurable and prioritised project goals for product quality and managing actual progress towards those goals throughout the lifecycle. Product quality goals typically include both functional and non-functional aspects of the system.

Reference: 'TMMi Level 4 Product Quality Evaluation SG 1 Establish Measurable and Prioritized Project Goals for Product Quality'.
