What is a key mechanism for collaboration between stream-aligned and specialized teams?

Using a single test plan document that is updated annually

Having specialized teams report directly to the stream-aligned team's manager

Regular communication through communities of practice and shared backlogs

Keeping testing responsibilities completely separate to avoid interference

An organization has several stream-aligned teams and a specialized test automation team. The automation team has built a robust regression suite. Which testing activity is best assigned to the specialized automation team?

Maintaining and extending the shared regression test automation framework

Executing manual exploratory tests on every feature

Writing functional test cases for each new feature

Fixing defects found in the regression suite

An organization is defining its test strategy and has both stream-aligned and specialized teams. What is a key consideration when planning test activities?

Having stream teams perform all testing to avoid handoffs

Eliminating specialized teams to reduce costs

Balancing the stream teams' need for fast feedback with the specialized teams' need for deep analysis

Ensuring all testing is done by the specialized teams for consistency

An organization is adopting stream-aligned teams and is deciding how to structure its test strategy. Which approach best reflects the influence of both stream-aligned and specialized teams?

Specialized teams are eliminated to reduce overhead

Each stream-aligned team also performs its own security and performance testing

Stream-aligned teams own functional testing of their features, while specialized teams own non-functional testing across the organization

A central test team performs all testing to ensure consistency

What is a key consideration in test planning when both stream-aligned and specialized teams are present?

Eliminating test planning because agile teams self-organize

Scheduling specialized testing activities so they do not block the stream-aligned teams' delivery

Ensuring that all testing is performed by the specialized teams to maintain quality

Creating separate test plans for each team without any integration
