An agile team has a limited testing budget for the upcoming sprint. They have identified several risks: a high-risk authentication module, a medium-risk reporting feature, and a low-risk UI change. How should they allocate their testing effort?

Test only the authentication module and skip the other two to save time.

Distribute testing time evenly across all three modules to ensure fairness.

Spend the most time on the authentication module, moderate time on reporting, and minimal time on the UI change.

Focus on the UI change first because it is quick and easy to test.

Which of the following is a key responsibility of a tester in an agile team?

Managing the project budget and schedule

Making final decisions on product features

Writing all the production code for the team

Providing continuous feedback on product quality and risks

An agile team is adding a new payment method to an existing application. They want to ensure that the new feature works correctly and that existing payment methods still function. Which combination of testing types should they include in the sprint?

Non-functional testing for the new payment method and functional testing for existing methods.

Only regression testing for existing methods, assuming the new feature is simple enough to skip functional tests.

Functional testing for the new payment method and regression testing for existing payment methods.

Only functional testing for the new payment method, assuming existing methods are unaffected.

An agile team is planning the testing for a new feature that integrates with a legacy system. The legacy system is unstable and often fails during testing. The team has a tight deadline. What is the most effective risk-based testing strategy?

Isolate the new feature from the legacy system using test doubles and focus testing on the new feature's logic.

Delay testing until the legacy system is stabilized, even if it means missing the deadline.

Test the new feature only through the legacy system to ensure real-world behavior.

Skip testing the new feature and rely on the legacy system's existing tests.

In agile, how are quality risks typically prioritized?

By the personal preference of the tester

By the order in which the risks were identified

By the likelihood of the risk occurring and the impact if it does

By the number of test cases that can be written for the risk
