After several days of collaborative acceptance testing, the team has a large number of test results. The product owner wants to know which features are ready for release. What is the most effective way to report the results?

Send the raw test logs to the product owner for analysis

Verbally state that most tests passed without details

A team is preparing for collaborative acceptance testing of a new customer onboarding flow. The acceptance criteria are written in technical jargon that the business stakeholders do not understand. What is the best action?

Rewrite the criteria in business-friendly language with the stakeholders

Have only the technical team review the criteria

Ask the stakeholders to learn the technical terms

Proceed with testing and explain the jargon later

Non-functional requirements should be tested first because they are harder

Regulatory compliance requirements should be tested first

All tests should be executed in the order they were written

Functional requirements should be tested first because they are easier
