   A high-priority risk in a project is that the new data migration tool might corrupt data during the transfer. The team decides to mitigate this risk. Which mitigation action is most appropriate?

   • APerform a trial migration with a subset of data and verify the integrity of the migrated data.
   • BDocument the risk in the risk register and move on to other tasks.
   • CCancel the migration and keep the old system.
   • DIncrease the number of developers working on the migration tool to speed up the process.

   A TTA is prioritizing risks for a new mobile application. The following risks have been identified: Risk 1: Data loss due to a bug in the sync feature (likelihood: high, impact: high). Risk 2: Security vulnerability in the payment module (likelihood: low, impact: very high). Risk 3: Poor performance on low-end devices (likelihood: medium, impact: medium). Risk 4: UI inconsistencies across different screen sizes (likelihood: high, impact: low). The project has a limited test budget. Which risk should be prioritized for testing?

   • ARisk 1: Data loss due to a bug in the sync feature.
   • BRisk 4: UI inconsistencies across different screen sizes.
   • CRisk 2: Security vulnerability in the payment module.
   • DRisk 3: Poor performance on low-end devices.

   During the test execution phase, a Technical Test Analyst discovers that a previously low-risk module is now showing a high number of defects. What should be done as part of risk monitoring and control?

   • AIgnore the new information because the risk was initially assessed as low
   • BStop all testing for that module
   • CUpdate the risk level and adjust the test plan accordingly
   • DRemove the module from the test plan

   A TTA has identified the following risks for a new e-commerce platform: Risk 1: Payment gateway integration fails (likelihood: medium, impact: very high). Risk 2: Search functionality returns incorrect results (likelihood: high, impact: low). Risk 3: UI is not responsive on mobile devices (likelihood: high, impact: medium). Risk 4: Database migration causes data loss (likelihood: low, impact: very high). Based on risk evaluation (likelihood x impact), which risk should receive the highest testing priority?

   • ARisk 1: Payment gateway integration fails.
   • BRisk 4: Database migration causes data loss.
   • CRisk 2: Search functionality returns incorrect results.
   • DRisk 3: UI is not responsive on mobile devices.

   A TTA is developing a risk-based test strategy for a system with the following risk levels: Module A: high risk, Module B: medium risk, Module C: low risk. The test manager wants to ensure that all modules are tested, but the budget is limited. How should the TTA allocate the test effort?

   • AAllocate more effort to Module C because it is the least tested.
   • BAllocate all effort to Module A and skip Modules B and C.
   • CAllocate equal effort to all modules to ensure complete coverage.
   • DAllocate effort proportionally: most to Module A, some to Module B, and least to Module C.
