   • BSkip system and acceptance testing entirely and rely on unit and integration tests.
   • CDefer all system and acceptance testing until the final sprint to avoid rework.
   • DRun full system and acceptance tests at the end of every sprint, even if the feature is incomplete.

   An agile team is developing a new e-commerce checkout feature. They have limited time in each sprint and want to maximize defect detection while keeping the test suite fast. According to the Test Pyramid, which approach should they adopt?

   • AWrite an equal number of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure comprehensive coverage at all levels.
   • BFocus primarily on end-to-end tests that simulate real user behavior to ensure the feature works as expected.
   • CWrite many unit tests for business logic, fewer integration tests for key interactions, and a small number of end-to-end tests for critical user journeys.
   • DCreate only unit tests for the new feature and rely on manual testing for integration and end-to-end scenarios.

   An agile team is developing a healthcare application with strict regulatory requirements. They have identified the following quality risks: (1) data privacy compliance, (2) system availability, (3) user interface usability, and (4) performance under peak load.

   • APrioritize usability and performance, as these directly affect user satisfaction.
   • BPrioritize data privacy compliance and system availability, as these have the highest impact if they fail.
   • CFocus on performance testing first because it is the most complex to set up.
   • DTest all risks equally to ensure comprehensive coverage.
