How does the presence of specialized teams influence the overall test strategy?

The test strategy includes specific non-functional testing activities and entry/exit criteria for specialized testing

The test strategy focuses only on functional testing performed by stream-aligned teams

The test strategy is created by the specialized teams and stream-aligned teams have no input

The test strategy is no longer needed because each team tests independently

A stream-aligned team is about to release a new feature that requires a security review. The specialized security team has a backlog of requests. What is the most effective way to integrate the security review into the stream team's workflow?

Invite a security specialist to join the stream team's planning and review sessions

Submit the feature to the security team and wait for their review before release

Skip the security review to meet the release deadline

Have the stream team perform the security review themselves

A specialized performance testing team is asked to validate a new payment service developed by a stream-aligned team. The stream-aligned team has already run unit and integration tests. What is the most valuable contribution the performance team can make?

Reviewing the unit test code for style and readability

Writing additional unit tests for edge cases

Running load tests that simulate peak transaction volumes and analyzing bottlenecks

Rewriting the payment service to improve its algorithm

Which activity is most likely performed by a specialized performance testing team?

Performing usability testing with end users

Writing automated unit tests for the application code

Designing and executing load and stress tests to evaluate system behavior under peak usage

Creating user stories and acceptance criteria for new features

How do stream-aligned and specialized teams typically coordinate their testing efforts?

By having stream-aligned teams wait for specialized teams to provide test results before releasing

By avoiding any overlap in testing activities to reduce duplication

By having specialized teams take over all testing after the stream-aligned team finishes development

By integrating specialized testing into the stream-aligned team's definition of done and release pipeline
