You work for an international company that manufactures hardware and software for telecommunications networks. You are the test manager for a product line of network router software.

The hardware development team delivers a new release every six months. The software is developed in two-month increments synchronized with the hardware development.

The last overall release was delayed because critical interface errors in the software were found and fixed too late.

The development management asks you to avoid further delays for upcoming releases or at least communicate them early on.

You then plan to implement an improved, metrics-based reporting system based on prioritized user stories (P1, P2, P3) and a tiered product risk list (high, medium, low) for the test area.

Which of the metrics listed are MOST IMPORTANT for your reporting in terms of the requirements of the development management?

Select TWO options.

You are the test manager of a software project that uses a document-centric sequential development model and involves developing a desktop application for a banking system.

The project has a large and hierarchical team that works with multiple stakeholders.

The project has a low level of uncertainty and complexity due to the stable and well-defined requirements and technology. The project also has strict quality and security standards to comply with the legal regulations of the banking industry.

What are the MOST suitable metrics that you would use to analyze the test results and create test reports that empower stakeholders to make decisions?

Select ONE option.
