QuestionQ12

The Tasks of the Test Analyst in the Test Process

Which of the following test-progress criteria would allow the business to determine a probable go-live date?

(i) Number of tests planned compared with number of tests executed

(ii) Number of outstanding high-priority defects

(iii) Test-team timesheets, showing how much effort has been dedicated to testing

(iv) Number of tests passed and number failed

(v) Number of defects identified in each development area

(vi) The rate at which defects are being identified

Explanation

A credible go-live forecast requires comparison of executed testing with the planned workload, visibility of unresolved high-priority defects that may block release, and the defect-discovery rate to assess whether product stability is improving. Timesheets measure effort rather than readiness, and the other standalone counts do not forecast the remaining testing and defect-resolution work as effectively.
