What is a key benefit of applying test types incrementally within Agile iterations?

It guarantees that no defects will be released to production

It ensures that all testing is completed before development starts

It eliminates the need for regression testing

It provides early feedback on quality and allows the team to address risks as they emerge

In an Agile iteration, how are test types typically applied to manage risk and ensure quality?

Test types are selected once at the start of the project and remain fixed

All test types are executed only at the end of the release

Test types are applied iteratively and incrementally, with the mix adjusted based on risk and feedback

Only functional testing is performed during iterations; non-functional testing is deferred to system testing

When determining which test types to apply in an Agile project, what is a primary factor to consider?

The risk level and business value associated with the features

The programming language used for development

The number of developers on the team

The physical location of the test environment
