   A test manager is preparing the weekly status report for a system integration testing phase.

What is the most appropriate way to communicate this in the status report?

   • AReport only the completed percentage and the current burn-down trend, without mentioning the complexity issue, to avoid alarming stakeholders.

   • CReport the completed percentage and flag the increased complexity as a risk, noting that the buffer may be consumed and that a revised estimate is being prepared.
   • DReport the variance as a schedule slippage and immediately request additional resources without further analysis.
