   A team has a high rate of defects found in production. The test manager suspects that the team's definition of done is too weak. The current definition only requires that code compiles and unit tests pass. Which change to the definition of done would most effectively reduce production defects?

   • ARequire that the product owner manually verifies the feature in the production environment before it is done.
   • BRequire that automated acceptance tests for the story pass and that the feature is verified in a staging environment before it is considered done.
   • CRequire that the developer who wrote the code performs a code review before marking the story done.
   • DRequire that all existing tests in the entire test suite pass, including the full end-to-end suite, for every story.

   A product owner wants to include a large, complex feature in the next iteration. The team is concerned that the feature is too large to complete and test within the two-week sprint. The test manager must facilitate a decision. Which approach best aligns with agile test planning and mitigates the risk?

   • BAccept the feature as-is and extend the iteration to three weeks to allow more time for development and testing.
   • CAsk the product owner to prioritize the feature and have the team work overtime to complete it.
   • DPlan to test the entire feature only at the end of the iteration, after all development is complete.
