Activity: Achieve Acceptable Mission















This activity delivers a useful evaluation result to the stakeholders of the test effort, where useful evaluation result is assessed in terms of the Evaluation Mission.

Description



For each test cycle, this work is focused mainly on: Actively prioritizing the minimal set of necessary tests for the Evaluation Mission Advocating the resolution of important issues that have a significant negative impact on the Evaluation Mission Advocating appropriate quality Identifying regressions in quality introduced between test cycles Where appropriate, revising the Evaluation Mission in light of the evaluation findings so as to provide useful evaluation information to the project team

Staffing



This work is primarily centered around the Test Manager and Test Analyst roles, although success relies heavily on the work of the Tester. The most important skills required for this work include problem and results analysis, communication and negotiation, as well as the ability to identify and focus on the most important items (and avoid being sidetracked by unimportant details). As a heuristic for relative resource allocation by phase, typical percentages of test resource use for this activity are: Inception - 10%, Elaboration - 00%, Construction - 20% and Transition - 30%.



Usage



Usage Guidance Given that providing focused evaluation feedback and achieving test-cycle closure are the objectives of this work, ongoing prioritization of the work and strategic management of the test resources is required. Focus continually on identifying and executing the minimum set of specific tasks to achieve the evaluation mission. Ongoing involvement by the stakeholders in the test and evaluation effort is critical to ensure the appropriate focus is maintained and, ultimately, that the work is successful. Notice that for some iterations it may not be possible to achieve the Evaluation Mission as originally defined. Rather than simply abandoning the test and evaluation effort, it is important to find an appropriate and agreeable revision of the original Evaluation Mission based on the current situation, and attempt to provide useful evaluation information to the stakeholders of the test effort. This work typically starts toward the end of each test cycle as suitable breadth and depth is achieved in the testing effort. For test cycles earlier in the project lifecycle, there is typically less work to be managed, therefore less effort is required to address this activity. In later iterations-especially those toward the end of the Elaboration phase and throughout the Construction phase-this work becomes more important and typically requires more focused effort. See Activity: Test and Evaluate The availability of analysis tools that provide accurate and timely results has an impact on resourcing this work. Without the use of appropriate tools, this task quickly becomes unmanageable as the test effort progresses and increasingly more detail needs to be analyzed and assessed manually.



Key Considerations



In order to achieve a useful evaluation result, it may mean you need to focus your efforts on helping the project team achieve the Iteration Plan objectives that apply to the current test cycle.
