The correct answer is B. A reduced set of standard test processes for each iteration. The iterative model is a cyclical process in which the software product is developed and tested incrementally in short cycles called iterations. Each iteration delivers a working version of the product that can be evaluated and improved. Compared to the V-model, which is a…

The Test Analyst's Tasks in the Test Process

Question

You have been informed by your Test Manager that the next project you will be working on as a Test Analyst will be using an iterative model rather than the V-model your projects normally employ. What might be an adjustment you and your test team might expect to make?

Options

  • AMore complete requirements at the beginning of the first test phase
  • BA reduced set of standard test processes for each iteration
  • CLess stringent quality goals
  • DNot as close of a working relationship with developers

Explanation

The iterative model is a cyclical process in which the software product is developed and tested incrementally in short cycles called iterations. Each iteration delivers a working version of the product that can be evaluated and improved. Compared to the V-model, which is a linear and sequential process that follows a fixed set of phases and activities, the iterative model requires a reduced set of standard test processes for each iteration, as well as more flexibility and adaptability to changing requirements and feedback. The test analyst and the test team might expect to make this adjustment when working on an iterative model project.
