Whole Team Approach – Key Advantage
1. Introduction
In modern software development, especially in Agile contexts, ISTQB promotes the whole team approach.
This approach emphasizes collaboration and shared responsibility for quality across the entire team.
현대 소프트웨어 개발, 특히 애자일 환경에서 ISTQB는 전체 팀 접근법(Whole Team Approach)을 강조합니다.
이 접근법은 팀 전체가 품질에 대해 함께 책임지고 협업하는 방식을 의미합니다.
2. Practice Question
❓ Question
Which of the following is an advantage of the whole team approach?
- a) Improved communication between team members
- b) Decreased individual accountability for quality
- c) Faster deployment of deliverables to the end users
- d) Reduced collaboration with external business users
✅ Correct Answer: a)
3. Explanation
✔ a) Improved communication between team members — Correct
The whole team approach encourages frequent and open communication among all team members, including testers, developers, and business representatives.
This improved communication helps the team identify issues earlier and build higher-quality products.
전체 팀 접근법은 테스터, 개발자, 비즈니스 담당자 간의 원활한 의사소통을 촉진합니다.
이를 통해 문제를 더 빨리 발견하고 더 높은 품질의 결과물을 만들 수 있습니다.
❌ b) Decreased individual accountability for quality — Incorrect
The whole team approach emphasizes shared responsibility for quality, but it does not remove individual accountability.
전체 팀이 품질에 대해 함께 책임지지만, 각 개인의 책임이 줄어드는 것은 아닙니다.
❌ c) Faster deployment of deliverables to the end users — Incorrect
The whole team approach focuses on how the team collaborates, not on deployment speed.
While better collaboration may indirectly help, faster deployment is not a guaranteed advantage.
전체 팀 접근법은 협업 방식에 대한 개념이지, 배포 속도를 직접적으로 보장하지는 않습니다.
❌ d) Reduced collaboration with external business users — Incorrect
In the whole team approach, testers actively collaborate with external business users, for example when creating acceptance tests.
전체 팀 접근법에서는 비즈니스 사용자와의 협업이 오히려 강화됩니다.

5. Final Takeaway
For the ISTQB exam, remember this key idea:
The whole team approach improves communication and collaboration across the entire team.
시험 대비 핵심 문장입니다.
전체 팀 접근법의 가장 큰 장점은 팀원 간의 의사소통과 협업이 향상된다는 것이다.
