Question 15

Steven, the Scrum Master, is approached by one of the Developers who mentioned that they are not completing regression tests for all of the work they are performing to the level defined in the Definition of Done. They discussed this with the Product Owner and decided to remove regression testing from the Definition of Done. Which two actions are the most appropriate for Steven to take? (Choose the best two answers)

  • B Ask the Developers and the Product Owner if they are still able to produce potentially shippable product Increments by altering the Definition of Done.
  • C Reject the decision. The long-term maintainability of the product will be negatively impacted by modifying the Definition of Done.
  • D Ask the Developers and the Product Owner what problem they are trying to solve by altering the Definition of Done and removing the regression testing from it. Ask coaching questions like "in what ways will this decision impact transparency and quality?"
