As part of which test process do you determine the exit criteria?

Question

Options

• ATest planning.
• BEvaluating exit criteria and reporting.
• CTest closure.
• DTest control.

• A
  75% (12)
• B
  6% (1)
• C
  13% (2)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

Test planning (A) is where exit criteria are defined - this phase establishes what the testing will accomplish, including the conditions that must be met before testing can stop. Defining exit criteria upfront ensures the team has agreed-upon, measurable goals before work begins.

B (Evaluating exit criteria and reporting) is wrong because this phase applies the criteria you already defined - it checks whether those conditions have been met, it doesn't create them.

C (Test closure) is wrong because closure happens after exit criteria are met; it's about wrapping up activities, archiving artifacts, and capturing lessons learned.

D (Test control) is wrong because control is an ongoing monitoring activity - comparing actual progress against the plan and taking corrective action - not a definitional phase.

Memory tip: Think of the word "planning" - you plan ahead. Exit criteria are the finish line, and you must draw the finish line before the race starts, not during or after it.
