That鈥檚 because just over 142,000 of the 600,000 TTs sold globally across its two decades and three generations have found a home in the UK. There鈥檚 little doubt about it; Brits love this car. Front-wheel-drive TTs are still available with a six-speed manual gearbox, but quattro all-wheel-drive models are equipped with a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. A petrol particulate filter is also equipped, to ensure the TT performs well in the new WLTP emissions and economy tests. You have to flick the TT 45 TFSI into its most potent 鈥楧ynamic鈥?setting on the drive mode selector to really unlock a turn of pace to worry the hot hatchback regulars. The 2.0-litre turbocharged engine feels like a fuss free powerplant with a strong mid-range. However, it does come across a little breathless towards the top of the rev-band, and the purposeful mid-range bark rapidly transforms into a synthesised note that鈥檚 doesn鈥檛 rank among the best sports car crescendos.
The 5.2-second 0-62mph dash Audi claims feels very realistic though. The first few ratios of the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission are pleasingly short and deliver a real sense of urgency when combined with snappy, on-demand shifts from the slightly cheap feeling wheel-mounted paddles. The real secret to the TT 45 TFSI鈥檚 impressive off-the-line and mid-range potency though is the quattro all-wheel-drive setup. It doesn鈥檛 feel like one drop of the 242bhp power or 370Nm torque escapes the tarmac. The TT鈥檚 quattro setup can transfer 100 per cent of the engine鈥檚 torque to the rear axle. However, in practice this doesn鈥檛 mean that the TT has a thrilling rear-biased character hidden up its sleeve. It鈥檚 still overwhelmingly neutral in corners, and booting the throttle mid-bend just exposes the TT鈥檚 ample reserves of grip. The suspension errs towards the firmer side of things, but it doesn鈥檛 hinder the TT鈥檚 fluency down a B-road. It鈥檚 a very easy, if somewhat unspectacular coupe to drive fast. The only thing that鈥檒l chip away at your confidence is the steering.
It鈥檚 very sharp and aids the sense of agility, but it鈥檚 also too light and transmits almost no feedback from the road surface. Audi鈥檚 鈥楶rogressive鈥?electric power steering is standard fit, which alters the steering ratio on the fly and makes low speed manoeuvring easier. Drive the TT fast, however, and the variable setup will leave keener drivers wanting more. Away from the driving experience, the list of standard equipment on all TT models grows to include electrically folding mirrors, while S Line trim cars get upgraded sports seats. In the cabin nothing really changes, but it鈥檚 still a strong driving environment and uses the kind of quality materials you鈥檇 expect of the brand. A central infotainment screen is not available in the TT. Instead, absolutely everything is broadcast through the standard Virtual Cockpit instrument display behind the steering wheel. This isn鈥檛 an issue, given that Audi鈥檚 digital dashboard setup is still possibly the most convincing on the market and can be configured to be as information rich or as un-obtrusive as you like. You can operate the display through button-mounted wheels, but a dedicated rotary dial still sits in the middle of the centre console. The TT鈥檚 somewhat bulbous shape means that space doesn鈥檛 feel too constrained inside, while visibility is also pretty good. 2, with a pair of very small seats tucked behind the main front row. While they aren鈥檛 all that usable, the boot is, sizing up at an impressive 305-litres for the class. Collapse the tiny rear row seats, and the TT fields an impressive, if slightly shallow, 712-litre cargo space.
I think Test team should lead the Investigation here whereas for Reproducible bugs the Dev team should lead the investigation. 鈥?Get in agreement with the Dev team on what level of pinpointing can the test team help with. It should be made clear at the start of project involvement. 鈥?Have a Clear distinction on what Activities include Detection, Troubleshooting and Pinpointing. Possibly, include the same in the Test plan. 鈥?Include Pinpointing activities as a part of Standard Test estimations. It won鈥檛 be too high a cost considering the entire span of release but it is worthwhile to consider it as a separate line-item. 鈥?Be aware of impacts of frequent Task-switching for testers (which usually happens when testers switches to Bug investigation away from testing work). Not everyone can do it with an ease. This can be one area specific training can be designed/conducted for testers if there is a need. How well do your team members know each other ?
