During a team meeting, the following complaints are raised:
Tester: "The latest series of codes all failed the tests. This development team always starts with the same mediocre code structure and only improves after multiple fails. I don't have the time to keep pointing out the same base defects in the code every iteration!"
Developer: "Our base code is not defective, but it is only a starting point for further development. Using the base code allows us to move forward with feature specific code efficiently. If we were provided with the test passing requirements to begin with, we wouldn't need to go through so many iterations."
What should the project lead say to de-escalate the situation?
AEveryone here wants to get to a defect free code as efficiently as possible. Let's discuss how we can modify our Way of Working to reach that point.
BWe should be focusing on the code, not complaining. The purpose of testing is to find defects in the code. Let's move on to the next meeting topic.
CWe know there are always bugs when the development team hands off their first code iteration, there is no reason to get upset about it now.
DLet's start by acknowledging that conflict is an important part of team dynamics and we should not avoid it. Testers, what else could the development team improve upon?
Which two concerns are resolved in the storming phase of team formation? (Choose two.)
AHierarchy in the development team
