In an Agile development model, the completion of testing or "done" is defined by which of the following?

Question

Options

• AProject management
• BEntry criteria
• CExit criteria
• DThe expected test completion date

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  88% (29)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

In Agile, exit criteria define when testing is considered "done" - they are the conditions that must be met before a test phase or sprint can be closed out (e.g., all critical defects resolved, test coverage thresholds met). Project management (A) sets schedules and resources but does not define testing completeness. Entry criteria (B) are the opposite - they specify conditions required before testing can begin, not when it ends. Expected test completion date (D) is a planning estimate, not a quality gate; hitting a deadline doesn't mean testing is actually complete.

Memory tip: Think E for Exit = End. Entry lets you in, Exit lets you out - and in Agile, you only exit testing when quality conditions are satisfied, not when the clock runs out.
