Try a sample question

According to the CTAL-TM syllabus, when should test planning be initiated in the development process?

  1. As early as possible, preferably before requirements are identified, and updated as the project progresses.
  2. Only after the requirements have been fully baselined and formally approved by all stakeholders.
  3. Only once test design is complete, so that the resource needs are already fully known.
  4. At a single fixed point, after which the test plan is frozen and no longer revised.
Show answer and explanations

Correct answer: A. As early as possible, preferably before requirements are identified, and updated as the project progresses.

Explanation

The syllabus states that test planning should be initiated as early as possible in the development process, preferably before requirements are identified, and should be updated as the project progresses.

Why each option

  1. Correct. The syllabus says test planning should begin as early as possible, preferably before requirements are identified.
  2. The syllabus calls for early planning, not waiting until the requirements are baselined and approved.
  3. Planning identifies the resources needed to meet the test objectives; it does not wait until test design is finished.
  4. Test planning is iterative and updated as the project progresses, so the plan is not frozen at one fixed point.
