Collaborative Acceptance Testing

You have recently become an acceptance tester on a cross-discipline project because your predecessor left the company overnight. The 15 project team members work in different time zones. Everyone appears to work hard on their tasks, yet nobody can provide you with an overview of the project.

Which one of the following actions is BEST for encouraging the team members to work more closely together?

  • A You write a long e-mail summarizing your understanding of the project goals, its current difficulties and indicate the steps required to solve the problem.
  • B Knowing about the importance of personal interactions, you travel from site to site to meet with every project team member and collect their vision.
  • C You organize a workshop with all team members to establish common understanding and to lay the foundation for fruitful trusting collaboration.
  • D You establish a test management tool to make sure everybody has access to the requirements and their related test cases.
Explanation

A workshop involving all team members establishes a shared understanding of the project and creates a foundation of trust. These are essential for effective collaboration across disciplines and time zones.
