You are assigned to test a new application being developed in-house and you have designed a set of test cases to specifically address key product risks. You will issue daily reports summarising how these test cases are progressing during test execution. When considering the audience for these reports, in which stakeholder matrix quadrant would the product's users reside?
Your test process is fully integrated into the software development lifecycle. You are at which TMMi level? [1]

You are monitoring the test results for the first week of system test execution to ensure they conform to the test plan objectives. You are guided by the list of test conditions and traceability matrix produced following test design. Test Plan objectives
• Approach - Risk-based and depth first
• Status reporting - Execution statuses must be either "Passed*, "Failed", "Blocked" or "Not Run"
• Traceability - Test execution results must be traceable back to the test conditions

Drivers must be aged between 17 to 85 years inclusive to qualify for insurance comparison.
The following Test Conditions have been identified:
1 Driver's age is less than the minimum
2. Driver's age is within the valid range
3. Driver's age is more than the maximum
The Test Strategy states the test techniques to be used include Equivalence Partitioning and Boundary Value Analysis. Using the Test Conditions and techniques stated in the Test Strategy, the following Test Cases have been created.
As the Test Manager you are reviewing these Test Cases for traceability to the Test Conditions and to ensure that the change request will be adequately tested in accordance with the Test Strategy.
