Question 1

In agile, what is the primary purpose of exploratory testing?

Accepted Answer

To simultaneously learn, design, and execute tests

Answer

Exploratory testing allows testers to simultaneously learn the system, design tests, and execute them, uncovering defects that scripted tests often miss.

Question 2

Which agile practice encourages developers to write tests before writing production code?

Accepted Answer

Test-Driven Development

Answer

Test-Driven Development (TDD) requires writing a failing unit test before writing the minimal production code to make it pass.

Question 3

A team notices their regression suite takes 4 hours to run. What is the BEST agile approach to address this?

Accepted Answer

Parallelize tests and optimize the test pyramid

Answer

Parallelizing tests and following the test pyramid (more unit tests, fewer UI tests) reduces feedback cycle time.

Question 4

What does 'shift-left testing' mean in an agile context?

Accepted Answer

Starting testing activities earlier in the development lifecycle

Answer

Shift-left testing means involving testing and quality thinking as early as possible, ideally from requirements analysis.

Question 5

During sprint review, a stakeholder finds a defect in a demonstrated feature. What should the team do?

Accepted Answer

Log it as a bug in the backlog and prioritize with the Product Owner

Answer

Defects found during sprint review are logged in the backlog, and the Product Owner prioritizes them for future sprints.
