   A team is estimating testing effort for a user story. The story has 8 acceptance criteria, but the team has identified that 3 of them involve complex business rules with many edge cases. What should the team do when estimating?

   • ADecrease the estimate because complex rules are easier to test.
   • BAsk the product owner to simplify the story to reduce testing effort.
   • CKeep the estimate the same because the number of acceptance criteria is the only factor.
   • DIncrease the estimate for the story because the complex criteria will require more test cases and analysis.

   A team is testing a user story for a search feature. The story has high risk because it is used by many customers. The team has time for only 10 test cases. They have identified the following conditions: search by keyword, search by category, search by price range, and search with no results. Which combination of techniques would provide the best coverage within 10 test cases?

   • AUse equivalence partitioning for each search field and a decision table for combinations of fields, plus boundary value analysis on price range.
   • BUse only equivalence partitioning, with 2-3 partitions per field.
   • CUse only decision tables, covering all combinations of fields.
   • DUse only boundary value analysis on the price range, as it is the most critical field.

   A team is using ATDD for a new user story. The product owner, developers, and testers have collaboratively written acceptance tests. What is the primary benefit of this approach?

   • AIt eliminates the need for unit testing.
   • BIt reduces the need for regression testing later.
   • CIt ensures that the team has a shared understanding of the requirements before coding starts.
   • DIt guarantees that all defects are found before release.

   A team is testing a user story for an online booking system. The story has high risk because it handles payments. The team has time for 15 test cases. They need to cover functional requirements (booking, payment, cancellation) and non-functional requirements (security, performance). Which approach best ensures adequate coverage?

   • AUse only exploratory testing for all 15 test cases, as it can cover both functional and non-functional aspects.
   • BAllocate 10 test cases to functional testing using equivalence partitioning and decision tables, and 5 test cases to non-functional testing covering security and performance.
   • CAllocate 5 test cases to functional testing and 10 to non-functional testing, since security is the highest risk.
   • DAllocate all 15 test cases to functional testing, as non-functional testing can be done later.
