A team is about to start testing a new foreign exchange trading system. They have limited time and need to focus on the most critical risks. Which risk-based test activity should they perform to ensure that testing is efficient and effective?

Identify and analyze risks to determine which areas need the most testing

Execute all test cases in the order they were written

Test only the features that are easy to test

Wait for the development team to finish all features before testing

A bank is planning the test approach for a new loan approval system. The risk analysis identified that incorrect interest rate calculations have a high likelihood and high impact, while cosmetic UI issues have low likelihood and low impact. How should the test plan allocate effort?

Apply equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis to interest rate calculations, and perform only smoke testing on UI

Focus all testing on UI because it is visible to customers

Defer all testing until after the system is deployed

Use the same depth of testing for both interest calculations and UI

What is the purpose of monitoring risk coverage during risk-based test activities?

To calculate the test completion percentage

To verify that the identified risks have been adequately addressed by testing

To track the number of defects found

To ensure that all test cases have been executed
