A test manager is facilitating a quality risk identification workshop for a new system. Stakeholders have identified several potential risks. What should the test manager do to ensure the risk identification is comprehensive?

Focus only on technical risks because they are the most important.

Use a structured approach that considers product, project, and stakeholder concerns, and encourages input from all relevant parties.

Include only the risks that stakeholders can quantify with data.

Ask the development team to identify all risks because they know the system best.

A test manager is assessing quality risks for a new system. The team has identified a risk that the system may not handle a high volume of concurrent users. The likelihood is rated as medium, and the impact is rated as high. What should the test manager do with this risk?

Assign it a low priority because the likelihood is only medium.

Defer the risk to the next release because it is not certain to occur.

Assign it a medium priority and test it only if time permits.

Assign it a high priority and plan performance testing to address it.

In quality risk assessment, what two factors are primarily evaluated to determine the level of risk?

Complexity of the code and experience of the test team

Likelihood of occurrence and impact of the risk

Number of test cases and number of defects found

Cost of testing and time available for testing

Which of the following is a common difficulty associated with risk-based testing?

The test environment is too fast

Too much time is spent on test execution

Incomplete risk identification, leading to some risks not being considered

The test team has too many skilled testers

During the quality risk identification phase, a test manager analyzes the product, project, and stakeholder concerns. What is the primary goal of this analysis?

To determine what could go wrong with the product, project, or stakeholders

To assign a specific test technique to each stakeholder concern

To estimate the exact number of defects that will be found during testing

To create a detailed test schedule and resource allocation plan
