ISTQB Exam ATM Topic 3 Question 53 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATM exam

Question #: 53
Topic #: 3

A chart showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution during system testing is also available. The chart shows that the daily closure period is consistently and significantly above the rolling closure period for a long period of the system testing phase. Almost all defects found during system testing have been related to the system as a whole, not related to single units or integrations issues. Almost all quality risks have been addressed during the unit and integration testing phase and no residual quality risks were present in the integrated system. This has been confirmed by exploratory testing sessions performed during system testing, targeted at finding defects in these quality risk areas. Based on the given information only, which one of the following areas would you expect to be considered more in the retrospective meeting in order to be improved?

Haha, 'secret sauce'? I think you've been watching too many cooking shows, my friend. But in all seriousness, the defect management process does seem like the key area to focus on here. Gotta keep those bugs in check, am I right?

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The quality risk analysis process might be worth a closer look too. If they managed to address all the risks during unit and integration testing, that's pretty impressive. Maybe they can share their secret sauce with the rest of us.

I agree, the defect management process is the most likely area to be targeted for improvement. With so many system-wide defects, they need to take a closer look at how they're identifying, prioritizing, and resolving issues during testing.

The defect management process seems like the obvious choice here. The chart shows a consistent and significant gap between daily and rolling closure, so there's clearly room for improvement in how defects are being handled.
