   A test manager analyzes defect data and finds that 70% of defects are found in the 'Checkout' module, and 50% of those are due to incorrect handling of currency conversion. The team has limited resources and can only implement one improvement action in the next release. What should the test manager prioritize?

   • AIncrease the severity of all currency conversion defects so they are fixed faster.
   • BConduct a root cause analysis on the currency conversion logic and implement a code fix, then add targeted regression tests.

   A test manager analyzes defect data and finds that the defect density in the 'Payment' module is 15 defects per 1,000 lines of code, while the company average is 5.

   • AThe defect density is a metric that should not be used for improvement decisions.
   • BThe 'Payment' module has a higher defect density, indicating a need for additional testing and code review.
   • CThe 'Payment' module is more complex than other modules, and the defect density is acceptable.
   • DThe 'Payment' module is well-tested, and no action is needed.
