Topic 4, Scenario 4, V2 "Test Management Tool"
The project situation after 11 months is:
-The first increment was released one week late but contained sufficient functionality to be declared fit for purpose'. However, there were 20 outstanding incidents deferred to increment two.
-The amount of voluntary overtime worked PV the test team has reduced the second Increment slippage to just 3 weeks.
-There is talk of reducing the scope of requirements. The purpose of this is to first deliver the application with support for manual testing and then to provide a delivery * weeks later to resolve any remaining points and provide support for automated testing (i.e. the link to the capture-replay tool).
-Concerns have been expressed by a section of the user community, that in some places the usability is very poor.
