   A test manager has a team of 8 testers and must test three systems: a transmission control unit (TCU) with ASIL C, a door lock module with ASIL A, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) with ASIL B. How should the manager allocate the testers?

   • AAssign 2 testers to the TCU, 3 to the TPMS, and 3 to the door lock module.
   • BAssign 4 testers to the TCU, 2 to the TPMS, and 2 to the door lock module.
   • CAssign 3 testers to each system to keep the team balanced.
   • DAssign all 8 testers to the TCU and test the other systems later.

   A test manager must allocate test environments (e.g., HIL rigs) among several projects. One project is a critical engine control unit (ECU), another is a non-critical telematics unit. How should the manager allocate the HIL rigs?

   • AGive the critical ECU project priority access to the HIL rigs.
   • BSplit the HIL rig time equally between the two projects.
   • CGive the telematics project priority because it is easier to test.
   • DGive the telematics project priority because it has a tighter schedule.

   A test team has a limited test budget and must test a battery management system (BMS) and a comfort lighting system. The BMS is safety-critical. How should the team prioritize testing?

   • ATest the BMS first and allocate more of the budget to it.
   • BTest the comfort lighting system first because it is cheaper to test.
   • CSplit the budget equally to avoid conflicts.
   • DTest the comfort lighting system first because it has more user complaints.

   Which statement best describes the relationship between the criticality of an automotive E/E system and the extent of testing it should undergo?

   • AHigher criticality generally leads to a greater extent of testing, including more test cases and deeper analysis.
   • BCriticality only affects the order of testing, not the total amount of testing.
   • CLower criticality systems require more testing because they are less understood.
   • DThe extent of testing is independent of criticality; all systems are tested to the same level.

   When allocating testing resources across multiple automotive systems, how should resources be distributed relative to system criticality?

   • AEqually across all systems to ensure fairness
   • BProportionally, with more resources allocated to higher criticality systems
   • CBased solely on the number of test cases that can be automated
   • DBased on the availability of testers, regardless of criticality
