Question 30

You have investigated a new tool which enables the modelling of the SUT and can then generate test cases either manually or automatically. You have convinced your managers that the best way forward is to conduct a pilot project for this tool. You need to select a project to use for the pilot. You have the choice of the following projects:

Project A: A two-year project that is critical to the business and is currently in the requirement phase. This project is for a new e-commerce web site and is mostly being developed “in-house" although the payment system is being developed and delivered by a 3rd party provider.

Project B: A safety critical application for software to drive and park cars.

Project C: An upgrade to an important HR timesheet tracking application that will be available on a desktop and mobile application. This is a 1-month project developed in-house.

Project D The payment system from project A.

Which project would be BEST for the pilot?

    Correct Answer: C

    Project C is the best choice for the pilot project. It is a short, low priority project but still important, which means it can accommodate potential delays or issues from the pilot without significantly impacting the business. Conducting a pilot on a non-critical but relevant project helps in assessing the tool's capabilities without risking major disruptions to crucial business operations.

Discussion
anitanikOption: C

The correct answer is C! A and B are wrong - as these are all critical projects and as noted in the syllabus - "Do not select a critical project. When the deployment of the TAS causes delay, this should not have major impact on critical projects.", page 45 of 84. In answer A is written that the payment system, suggested in answer D, is developed and delivered by a 3rd party provider. So, selecting this option for a pilot project will not have any added value. Answer C suggests short, low priority but important project. There's no saying it's trivial!
