   An automotive supplier is developing a new electric power steering system. The project has a high risk of software defects due to complex control algorithms, but the hardware is not yet available. The team must decide which test levels to perform early in the development cycle. Which approach best balances early defect detection with the available resources?

   • APerform only acceptance testing with the customer to save time.
   • BSkip component testing and focus on system testing once hardware is available.
   • CWait for the hardware to be available and then perform all test levels sequentially.
   • DPerform component testing using MIL and SIL environments, deferring integration and system testing until hardware is available.

   In a V-model development process for an automotive system, a defect is found during system testing. According to the dependencies between test levels, what is the most likely impact on the earlier test levels?

   • AThe defect is automatically considered a system-level issue and does not require re-testing at lower levels.
   • BThe defect must be analyzed to determine if it originated in earlier levels, and if so, the corresponding tests may need to be repeated after the fix.
   • CThe system test is halted and the entire V-model is restarted from the beginning.
   • DThe earlier test levels are considered complete and do not need to be revisited.
