   During test execution, a Technical Test Analyst discovers that a mitigation action—a set of performance tests—cannot be run because the required load testing tool is not available. The risk of performance degradation was rated high. What should the TTA do to ensure the mitigation is still implemented?

   • AWait until the original tool is available, even if it delays the release.
   • BSkip the performance tests and document that the mitigation was not executed.
   • CAsk the project manager to reduce the risk rating because the tests cannot be run.
   • DUse a different, available tool that can simulate the required load, and note the deviation in the test report.

   A project has a high risk of performance degradation under peak load. The team has limited budget and time. Which mitigation strategy would be most effective in reducing the risk while staying within constraints?

   • AReduce the risk by conducting targeted load tests on the most critical transactions.
   • BAvoid the risk by canceling the feature that causes the load.
   • CAccept the risk and monitor performance after release.
   • DTransfer the risk by outsourcing performance testing to a specialized vendor.

   • BDiscuss the risk with the project team.
   • CEnsure the module is tested thoroughly.
   • DMonitor the module's performance after release.

   A mitigation plan for a high-risk module includes a specific test that must be run with a particular test tool. During execution, the TTA discovers that the tool is not compatible with the test environment. What should the TTA do to ensure the mitigation is implemented?

   • AUse a different tool that can achieve the same test objective, and document the deviation.
   • BAsk the project manager to remove the risk from the risk register.
   • CWait until the tool is updated to be compatible with the environment.
   • DSkip the test and report that the mitigation was not executed.
