   A test team has constructed an operational profile for a new social media app. The profile shows that 'view timeline' occurs 80% of the time, 'post update' 15%, and 'send message' 5%. The team is planning reliability testing and has limited time. How should they use the operational profile to select test cases?

   • ASelect an equal number of test cases for each operation to ensure balanced coverage.
   • BSelect test cases that cover all operations, but run more test cases for 'view timeline' to reflect its higher frequency.
   • CSelect test cases only for 'view timeline' because it is the most frequent operation.

   A test team is constructing an operational profile for a new e-commerce website. They have collected data from a beta release, but the data is skewed because the beta testers were primarily power users who performed many more searches than the average customer. The team also has access to marketing analytics from the previous version of the site, which shows a more balanced usage pattern. The team needs to decide how to build the profile to guide reliability testing. Which approach is most appropriate?

   • ACombine the beta data with the marketing analytics, weighting them to reflect the expected production population, and adjust for the known bias in the beta group.
   • BUse only the marketing analytics from the previous version because it represents a larger and more balanced user base.
   • CAverage the beta data and the marketing analytics equally to get a balanced profile.
   • DUse only the beta data because it is the most recent and reflects the new site's features.
