   A team is developing a healthcare app that allows patients to book appointments. The story 'As a patient, I can book an appointment' has high risk because it involves sensitive data and must be fast. The team has limited time and must choose between testing performance (response time) and security (data encryption). Which approach is most appropriate?

   • ASkip both non-functional tests and focus on functional tests, as they are more important.
   • BTest both performance and security, but prioritize security testing because data breaches have higher consequences.
   • CTest only security, because it is the highest risk.
   • DTest only performance, because the story explicitly mentions speed.

   A user story has the following acceptance criteria: 'Given a registered user, when they enter a valid email and password, then they are logged in.' 'Given a registered user, when they enter an invalid password, then an error message is shown.' 'Given a registered user, when they enter an unregistered email, then an error message is shown.' How many test conditions can be derived from these acceptance criteria?

   • ATwo test conditions, because the two error cases are similar and can be combined.
   • BFour test conditions, adding a case for empty fields.
   • COne test condition, because the story is about logging in.
   • DThree test conditions, one for each acceptance criterion.

   An Agile team is planning a sprint with three user stories: (1) 'As a user, I can log in with my email and password' (high risk, 5 acceptance criteria), (2) 'As a user, I can view my profile' (low risk, 3 acceptance criteria), (3) 'As a user, I can export my data' (medium risk, 4 acceptance criteria). The team has 12 test-days. They also need to run a security test on the login story and a performance test on the export story. What is the most balanced allocation of test-days?

   • ALogin: 5 days, Profile: 1 day, Export: 6 days, because export has more acceptance criteria than login.
   • BLogin: 6 days, Profile: 2 days, Export: 4 days, with security testing included in the login days and performance testing in the export days.
   • CLogin: 4 days, Profile: 4 days, Export: 4 days, with security and performance testing done separately.
   • DLogin: 7 days, Profile: 1 day, Export: 4 days, but skip the performance test on export to save time.
