TMMi-P_Syll2.1 Exam Dumps - iSQI TMMi certification Questions and Answers

The statement that Specific Goal 1 of the Test Measurement (4.1) process area covers the communication of test measurement results after analysis is FALSE. Specific Goal 1 focuses on aligning test measurement and analysis activities, which involves setting measurement objectives, specifying the measures to be taken, and establishing procedures for data collection, storage, and analysis. However, the communication of results comes under Specific Goal 2, which deals with the analysis and reporting of test measurement results.

TMMi References:

Test Measurement at TMMi Level 4 includes defining measures, data collection, and storage as part of aligning test measurement and analysis activities, while communicating results is part of a different goal​​.

The specific goals of the Advanced Reviews process area include:

Coordinate the peer review approach with the dynamic test approach: Ensuring that static testing, such as peer reviews, is aligned with the dynamic testing approach to optimize testing efforts.

Adjust the test approach based on review results early in the life cycle: This goal aims to improve the test approach by using early feedback from reviews to make adjustments that can enhance testing later in the lifecycle.

The other options (2, 4, and 5) refer to different process areas or goals. For example, Perform peer reviews is part of the Peer Reviews process area at TMMi Level 3, not Advanced Reviews.

TMMi References:

The Advanced Reviews process area at TMMi Level 4 focuses on aligning peer reviews with the dynamic test approach and adjusting the test approach based on review results​​.

Valid reasons to perform a TMMi assessment include identifying areas that need improvement (2), determining which accomplishments have been made (3), and using the assessment as a basis to become formally TMMi certified (4). Assessing individual tester performance (1) is not a typical objective of TMMi assessments, which focus more on process maturity and improvement rather than individual performance evaluation.

The TMMi process areas complement the CMMI process areas for Verification and Validation by providing more detailed guidance specific to testing. While CMMI defines these areas at a high level, TMMi elaborates on how to establish and maintain a defined testing process that includes both verification and validation activities. The relationship between the two models is complementary rather than hierarchical, meaning that improving testing processes using TMMi can lead to fulfilling CMMI requirements for Verification and Validation.

The debugging-oriented phase of the evolutionary testing model aligns closely with TMMi Level 1 (Initial). At TMMi Level 1, testing is often chaotic and is not formally separated from debugging. The primary focus is on finding and fixing bugs, which reflects the characteristics of the debugging-oriented phase described in the Gelperin and Hetzel evolutionary testing model. Testing at this level lacks structure and is mainly an ad hoc activity aimed at removing defects from the software.

The process areas Test Organization and Test Life Cycle and Integration at TMMi Level 3 most strongly build on the practices and experiences of Test Planning from TMMi Level 2. Test Organization focuses on institutionalising the testing roles and responsibilities across the lifecycle, while Test Life Cycle and Integration ensures that testing is integrated throughout the development lifecycle, improving coordination and planning of test activities across different phases of the project.

In the TMMi framework, specific goals can indeed have different specific practices across maturity levels. The practices associated with a specific goal evolve as an organization matures, reflecting the need for more sophisticated approaches at higher levels of maturity. For example, test design practices at Level 2 are more basic compared to the more comprehensive practices at Level 3, which include integration with other lifecycle processes.

The other statements are incorrect. For instance, sub-practices are informative and not mandatory, and while generic goals have the same set of practices across process areas, specific goals vary by maturity level.

TMMi References:

TMMi process areas include specific goals that may have different practices depending on the maturity level, as the process areas evolve with higher maturity​​.

Peer Reviews is NOT a TMMi Level 2 process area. Peer Reviews is a process area at TMMi Level 3. At Level 3, organizations formalize their testing processes, including peer reviews, which involve static testing activities like inspections and walkthroughs to identify defects early.

Test Policy and Strategy, Test Monitoring and Control, and Test Environment are all process areas at TMMi Level 2.

TMMi References:

Peer Reviews are introduced at TMMi Level 3, whereas Test Policy and Strategy, Test Monitoring and Control, and Test Environment are process areas at Level 2​​.

The specific goal during the implementation of the "Test Planning" process area at TMMi Level 2 is to establish well-founded plans for managing and performing the testing activities. One of the crucial objectives is to "Establish a Master Test Plan" at TMMi Level 3, particularly under the "Test Lifecycle and Integration" process area. This is designed to ensure that a coherent, high-level plan integrates the activities across all levels of testing.

The process includes defining a test approach based on identified risks and involves the creation of the test estimates, schedules, and plans. Test plans should align with organisational strategies and cover test activities for all relevant phases of the development cycle​​.

This statement is FALSE because TMMi does not focus only on higher test levels like system and acceptance testing. In fact, TMMi covers all test levels, including lower levels like unit and integration testing, as well as static testing (e.g., reviews and inspections).

TMMi is designed to address testing at all levels of the software lifecycle and goes beyond dynamic testing (e.g., system and acceptance) to include static testing techniques as well. The model is comprehensive and is intended to support testing in both systems and software engineering. Furthermore, TMMi addresses the four cornerstones of structured testing: lifecycle, techniques, infrastructure, and organization. These are essential to ensure a thorough and structured approach to improving test processes and aligning them with business goals.

TMMi References:

TMMi documentation clearly indicates that it covers all test levels including static testing (such as peer reviews) and dynamic testing across different stages of development​​.

It is lifecycle-independent and can support different models, such as Agile, DevOps, and traditional V-models​.
