In Agile, what is the typical scope of component testing?

The business processes and workflows

A single class, method, or small unit of code

The entire application as a whole

The interactions between two or more components

What is the primary purpose of system testing in an Agile iteration?

To confirm that the system is acceptable to the customer

To test the interfaces between modules

To verify that individual units of code work correctly

To validate that the integrated system meets the specified requirements

How do Agile teams adapt traditional system testing to fit continuous integration practices?

They replace system testing with component testing

They postpone system testing until the end of the release

They run system tests on every integrated build or at regular intervals

They only perform system testing when a feature is fully complete

Which practice is a common adaptation of test levels in Agile to support incremental development?

Writing all test cases before any code is written

Using test-driven development (TDD) at the component level

Deferring all integration testing until the end of the project

Creating a separate test phase after each iteration

A team is developing a new feature that spans multiple components. They have limited time and must decide which test levels to execute. The feature is critical and has high business risk. Which test levels should they prioritize to mitigate risk effectively?

Only system testing to validate the entire system behavior.

Only regression testing to ensure no existing functionality is broken.

Only acceptance testing to validate business needs, as it is the most important level.

Component testing and integration testing to ensure technical correctness, followed by acceptance testing to validate business needs.
