   • AThe product owner's desired release date.
   • BThe team's historical velocity and the capacity of testers within the sprint.
   • CThe number of test cases that can be written per day.
   • DThe complexity of the test automation framework.

   A team is planning a sprint with two features: Feature A is a new login system (high risk, high impact) and Feature B is a minor UI change (low risk, low impact). The team has limited testing capacity. The product owner wants both features tested thoroughly. What is the best approach to balance risk and capacity?

   • AAsk the product owner to reduce the scope of Feature A to lower its risk.
   • BApply risk-based testing: thoroughly test Feature A with boundary and security tests, and do a lighter smoke test on Feature B.
   • CTest both features equally to satisfy the product owner.
   • DTest Feature B thoroughly and Feature A minimally, since Feature A is new and will be tested later.
