A test analyst is evaluating a decision with 4 conditions. The team has a strict deadline and can only execute 10 test cases for this decision. The decision is in a non-critical module. Which of the following is the most appropriate action?

Use multiple condition testing but only test the combinations that are most likely to fail.

Use multiple condition testing, which requires 16 test cases, and skip other tests.

Use multiple condition testing but reduce the number of conditions by simplifying the decision.

Use decision coverage, which requires fewer test cases, and document the reduced coverage as a risk.

A test team is deciding between decision coverage and multiple condition testing for a safety-critical module. The module has a decision with 3 conditions. Which of the following is a valid reason to choose multiple condition testing over decision coverage?

Multiple condition testing guarantees that all paths in the program are executed.

Multiple condition testing can detect defects that occur only with specific combinations of conditions.

Multiple condition testing requires fewer test cases.

Multiple condition testing is easier to automate than decision coverage.

What is a major practical limitation of multiple condition testing?

It requires a large number of test cases due to combinatorial explosion

It cannot be applied to decisions with more than two conditions

It is only applicable to simple decisions with a single condition

It does not require test cases for all combinations, only for the most important ones
