In the context of TMMi, the focus of test process improvement is usually driven by business needs that aim to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and predictability of the testing process. The typical business reasons for test improvement include:
Increase predictability of testing(Option B): This refers to making the testing process more reliable and consistent, allowing better planning and forecasting of testing activities.
Reduce the costs of failure by improving effectiveness of testing(Option C): This is a direct goal of test process improvement, as it helps catch defects earlier, reducing costs associated with defects in later stages of the lifecycle.
Reduce time to market by increasing efficiency of testing activities(Option D): By making testing more efficient, organizations can release products faster while maintaining or improving quality.
Option A,Introduce a new process improvement framework, isNOTa typical business reason for test improvement. This refers to the introduction of a framework, which could be part of a process improvement strategy but is not a direct business reason for improving testing. Test improvement efforts are generally focused on achieving tangible business benefits, such as cost reduction, risk mitigation, or faster delivery, rather than the implementation of a specific framework for its own sake.
