Agile testing is:
-
The responsibility of the QA role
-
A collaborative team effort
-
Performed at the end of each sprint
-
Not required until the hardening sprint
Correct Answer
A. A collaborative team effortExplanation
The entire team is responsible for the quality, including collaborating on test requirements and methods, creating and running tests, and meeting the team definition of done.Rate this question:
-
- 4.
100% requirements testing achieves good testing.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
In traditional waterfall projects, the team may have coded and successfully tested all the requirements, but they may have failed to deliver the right product. Agile helps teams adapt to changing requirements and to also focus on delivering the highest-valued requirements at the end of each sprint which is accepted by the customer.Rate this question:
-
- 5.
Testing is a phase in Agile projects.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Unlike Waterfall projects where there is a specific phase for testing, Agile testing is continuous.Rate this question:

A team committed to 3 stories in a 3-week sprint. The Product Owner accepted the 3 stories completed by the team; each story was estimated at 5 points. The team velocity is:
-
3
-
5
-
15
-

A team has 30 stories targeted for a release. The total number of points for the release is 140. WIth an average velocity of 18, how sprints will be needed for the release?
-
5
-
18
-
30
-
8
Correct Answer
A. 8Explanation
Total story points assigned to stories divided by velocity yields duration. 140/18 = 7.777 (8)Rate this question:
-
- 10.
The most important defect metric we want to learn from is:
-
Defects found during a sprint
-
Defects found during the hardening sprint
-
Defects found in production
-
The age of all defects per product
Correct Answer
A. Defects found in productionExplanation
Defects found during a sprint are important, but not a metric we want to focus on as teams should be resolving these within the sprint; defects found during the hardening sprint are important to measure the quality of testing in previous sprints, the ultimate measure, as always, will come from customers in production.Rate this question:
-
- 11.
Development and testing is a collaborative team effort.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Team member first, specialist second!Rate this question:
-
- 12.
In a sprint, one story may be accepted, another in development and another in testing.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Throughout a sprint stories are worked in parallel and so each can be in a different state.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
Without a separate test strategy and test plan, it's hard to manage testing.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Specific test activities are defined at sprint planning; a separate test plan may not be required; a test strategy can define overall Agile testing practices and techniques that are followed across teams where each team adopts the practices that work best for them for a given project.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
Automation is optional and is only required when regression testing is needed.
-
True
-

Automation is required to truly gain all the advantages Agile offers.Rate this question:
-
- 15.
What is the difference between a release and a sprint?
-
A sprint contains many releases
-
A release consists of many sprints
-
Each is mutually exclusive
Correct Answer
A. A release consists of many sprintsExplanation
A release consists of many sprints, meaning that a release is a collection of multiple sprints that have been completed. A sprint, on the other hand, is a time-boxed period during which a specific set of work or tasks is completed. While a release represents a larger milestone or goal, consisting of several sprints, a sprint is a shorter, focused period of work within that release.Rate this question:

-
What I did yesterday

Teams that do not implement sprint retrospectives are still considered agile becuase they work in sprints.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
If your team is not performing sprint retrospectives and making improvements each sprint then you are not truly practicing the agile mindset; working in sprints does not make a team agile.Rate this question:
-
- 18.
Test automation is impossible.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Test automation in the early stages of an agile transition is usually very tough, but as the team evolves and settles, the right time to implement automation will arrive. At the start, almost all testing from a user and QA perspective will be manual, but the team should keep automation at the top of the priority list to address.Rate this question:

Velocity:
-
Is measured in task hours
-
Is a measure of a team's rate of progress
-
Is a metric used to compare team performance
-
Is not affected when a change in scope is made
Correct Answer
A. Is a measure of a team's rate of progressExplanation
Velocity is used to understand the amount of work a team can complete within a sprint period and is a measure used for release planning. Sprints are based on task hours. Velocity rates are specific to a team and should not be used to compare team performance. Velocity is affected when a change in scope is made; before items are added to a sprint this point needs to be considered.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Is an agreement the team creates to define potentially shippable softwareExplanation
Teams define their definition of done; it can vary from team to team and should change over time as the team learns and grows and processes improve.Rate this question:

The ultimate goals of agile testing is to:
-
Find all the bugs
-
Execute as many tests as possible
-
Automate all tests
-
Improve the software
Correct Answer
A. Improve the softwareExplanation
The ultimate goal of agile testing is to improve the software. Agile testing focuses on continuously improving the quality of the software by identifying and addressing defects, enhancing the user experience, and delivering value to the customers. While finding bugs and executing tests are important aspects of agile testing, they are not the ultimate goals. Automating tests is also beneficial in agile testing but not the sole objective. The primary aim is to enhance the software by incorporating feedback, adapting to changes, and delivering a high-quality product.Rate this question:
-
- 28.
The testing team needs to be independent & independently empowered in order to be effective.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Testers are an integral part of the team; focus is to deliver a quality, shippable product at the end of each sprint that achieves "done" without added technical debt. Testers are accountable to the team, product owner and business.Rate this question:
-
- 29.
The value of testing is only realized when defects are logged.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The value of testing is in the early detection of defects and achieving "done". In agile, the number of defects logged during development is no longer a focus; the focus is now on delivering value and having customers accept stories for delivery each sprint.Rate this question:
-
- 30.
Which of the following practices emphasize building releasable products in short time frames?
-
Release planning
-
Sprint planning
-
Iterative and incremental development
