Your organisation, a high-street bank, is to embark on a project that delivers a major update to the design of its website and also involves functional and performance improvementchanges to its backend core banking engine. It has traditionally used the V-model software development lifecycle to deliver its projects but has now decided to start migrating to Agile (SCRUM). However, after considering the organisation's current processes and skills plus the importance of the project, senior management has decided to continue to use the V-model approach for the backend core banking engine changes. For the same reasons, they have decided to implement a hybrid model for the website updates. The website updates will begin with a traditional requirement definition phase and will then transition to an Agile (SCRUM) approach for development and testing. The organisation's test policy mandates that all tests must be fully traceable to business requirements to satisfy the regular audits that take place in the banking sector. Which TWO test management activities would be MOST appropriate for the new project?
- A. Ask the business to identify and analyse all product risks, then ensure testing contributes to risk mitigation strategies
- B. Avoid distinct test phases and ensure testing is continuous and integrated across the whole project
- C. Plan exploratory testing on all of the new website features but use formal scripting for the banking engine
- D. Select tools for test automation and continuous integration for the website changes
- E. Ensure there is a continual review of test progress with regular test monitoring and reporting across the whole project
