Question2: Test Planning is defined as one of the process areas at TMMi level 2. It introduces practices such as product risk assessment and defining a test approach for the project. Process areas at higher TMMi levels build on these practices and also address product risk assessments and/or defining a test approach.

Question4: What is an example of an indirect benefit for a test improvement program?

Question5: In many cases the achievement of a given TMMi level needs specific support from CMMI practice areas.
Which of the following CMMI version 2 practice areas provides support for TMMi level 3?

Question6: 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?

Question7: Consider the following five statements about TMMi level 2 process areas in an Agile context. Which of these statements are true, and which ones are false?
a. Test performance indicators in an Agile context at TMMi level 2 are always more related to team performance (for example, Velocity) than to the end-results of iterations (such as escaped defects).
b. The product risk assessment process for Agile projects will normally take a more lightweight approach than with a sequential lifecycle model.
c. The process area Test Monitoring and Control in an Agile context is not as important as in a traditional methodology, since sticking to a rigid plan is not one of the tenets of the Agile manifesto nor one of the principles of Agile.
d. For TMMi in an Agile project, it is not necessary to have traceability between requirements, test conditions and tests, because test conditions are not part of an Agile methodology.
e. Following the principles of Agile development, the specification of test environments is normally performed closer to test execution than in a sequential methodology, to provide the opportunity for late changes to be implemented.

Question8: To which TMMi level 4 process area does the specific practice "Define a co approach is defined that co- ordinates both static and dynamic testing?

Question9: Which of the following is NOT a TMMi level 2 Process Area?

Which of the following statements on the relationship between these process areas is correct?

Question11: A test process assessment against TMMi levels 2 and 3 has been performed on an international outsourcing software organization. Although many practices, as required by the TMMi model, are already in place, projects suffer from poor test estimations.
Which of the following process areas would need specific attention to address the above mentioned shortcoming?

Question12: Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding relevance of the CMMI model version 2 for testing?

Question13: The evolutionary testing model (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 closely aligned with TMMi model level 1 Initial?
