   A test manager is planning the test activities for a new electronic stability control system. The system has a mix of ASIL B and ASIL D functions. The manager must decide how to structure the test plan. Which approach best aligns with ISO 26262?

   • ATest only the ASIL D functions because they are the most critical.
   • BDefine separate test levels and techniques for ASIL D functions, with more rigorous methods such as fault injection and back-to-back testing.
   • CDefer all testing to the vehicle-level validation phase to save time.
   • DUse the same test techniques for all functions to simplify the test plan.

   A tester is working on a new lane departure warning system. The team has completed verification of the system against its technical specifications, and all tests passed. The project manager wants to release the system to production. However, the tester is concerned that the system has not been validated with real drivers in various weather conditions. What should the tester do?

   • AAsk the project manager to skip validation to meet the deadline.
   • BSuggest that the system be released and validation be done post-production through over-the-air updates.
   • CApprove the release because all verification tests passed.
   • DRecommend that the system not be released until validation testing with representative drivers in real-world conditions is completed.
