In a two-week sprint, an agile team is developing a new search feature. They plan to write unit tests for the search algorithm, integration tests for the database connection, and system tests for the entire search workflow. How should they schedule these test levels within the sprint?

Write all unit, integration, and system tests at the end of the sprint after all code is complete.

Write only unit tests during the sprint and defer integration and system tests to the next sprint.

Write unit tests as the code is developed, integration tests once units are stable, and system tests near the end of the sprint.

Write system tests first to define the expected behavior, then unit and integration tests to fill in details.

A tester on an agile team is categorizing tests for a new online banking feature. They need to identify tests that are business-facing and support the team during development. Which test type fits this description?

Performance tests that measure system response times under load.

Unit tests written by developers to verify individual functions.

Acceptance tests written collaboratively with the product owner to clarify expected behavior.

Exploratory testing sessions to discover unexpected defects.

An agile team is developing a new online payment system. They have identified that security is a high-risk area. They also need to ensure the system is fast and reliable. How should they approach testing to address these risks?

Focus only on functional testing to ensure the payment process works correctly.

Use only automated testing to cover all risks.

Include security testing as part of non-functional testing, along with performance and reliability testing.

Perform security testing only after the system is deployed.
