Let’s consider several threads that are common throughout all modules of our course—they are reiterated while belonging to different contexts. The initial slide in the front of every module features the text “…focus on learning, as this is the only worthy pursuit, particularly in the context of this class.” Also remember that Watts Humphrey introduced a narrative of constant learning while arguing a logical order of unit tests performed after peer reviews. State another example of a context (a place in our course) where this notion of “permanent learning” is reiterated.

One of the goals of this course is for you to adopt some techniques we covered in the class at your day job. Describe in a brief paragraph which of the best practices from the course you plan to adopt.

With reference to the Glen Myers book The Art of Software Testing, which one of the following options is true regarding the fundamental purpose of testing?

Being “directionally correct” is an important skill for a software manager. Such a skill enables one to have a global view of a process without going into details. In fact, if your global view is wrong, it does not matter what the details are telling you. Consider the following four curve types. Select a type of a curve that fits into a given scenario. Select all that accurately reflect the scenario.

A message that a developer manually adds to a commit should cover the following information. In this question, we assume that defects, stories and code – are maintained in three independent systems that have no automatic connection. Select all that apply.

Consider the two improvement models discussed in the class. First, CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integrated) introduced by SEI (Software Engineering Institute) and supported by the United States Government. And second, ISO, the world’s most accepted model. Which one of these does not issue an official certificate confirming compliance?

This area is for you to provide feedback on the test or any of the questions. Note that specifying the question number will help us to know which question you are commenting on. Please cut and paste the question into this section, and then describe any issues you had.

Suppose you have two practices, (a) Defect Management and (b) Test Case Management. Consider that mature practices usually require advanced coordination and are more difficult to implement in an organization. On the other hand, if you are deciding on an overall adoption plan, it is logical to start with a less mature practice and then proceed to a more mature one. So, which of these two practices is more mature? Among the two given choices, select all that apply.
