A proposed change will add a new test environment that requires additional hardware and a dedicated administrator. The project is already over budget. What is the most important impact to assess before approving the change?

The impact on the project's budget, schedule, and resource availability, and the trade-offs required.

The potential improvement in test coverage and quality.

The additional cost of hardware and the administrator's time, and how it affects the budget.

The effect on the test schedule and the ability to meet the release date.

A test manager must decide how to allocate limited testing resources between two critical modules. Module A has a high defect density and is business-critical, while Module B has a lower defect density but is required for the release. The project has a tight schedule. What is the best prioritization strategy?

Focus all resources on Module A and defer Module B testing to a later phase.

Allocate resources equally to both modules to ensure balanced coverage.

Allocate more resources to Module A because of its higher defect density and business criticality, while ensuring Module B receives enough testing to meet release criteria.

Focus all resources on Module B to ensure the release is not delayed, and accept the risk in Module A.

When a project is behind schedule, what is the purpose of applying corrective actions?

To assign responsibility for the delay

To document the delay for reporting

To bring the project back on schedule

What does impact assessment of a proposed change primarily evaluate?

The personal opinions of stakeholders

The effects on schedule, budget, resources, and quality

The technical details of the change implementation

The number of change requests submitted

What is the primary purpose of a project status report?

To replace the project management plan

To communicate progress, risks, and deviations to stakeholders

To provide a detailed technical design of the product

To record all decisions made by the project team
