Managing the Team

Assume that you are managing a project's system-test execution phase.

The system-test execution period is scheduled for eighteen weeks, with the release date planned for the end of system testing. During the sixth week of system-test execution, the project manager tells you at the staff meeting that the project deadlines have changed and that the release date is now only three weeks away.

This new release date will not permit completion of the system tests. Also assume that you have used a risk-driven test approach for this project.

Which of the following statements describes the worst way to lead your test team during the next three weeks?

Explanation

A compressed test schedule requires continued test management to control progress, coordinate work, communicate risk, and apply risk-based priorities. Risk-based testing prioritizes test effort according to risk levels; reassessing coverage and priorities is therefore appropriate when time is constrained. Team motivation and proactive task ownership also support execution, whereas neglecting management duties eliminates essential control during the critical period.
