   An organization is adopting an iterative lifecycle model for a new product. The test manager needs to plan test activities. Which testing approach aligns best with this model?

   • AConduct testing only after each major milestone, not within iterations
   • BPlan testing for each iteration, with regression testing and feedback loops between iterations
   • CPerform all test design and execution in a single final phase after development is complete
   • DDefer all test planning until the system is fully integrated

   • BEliminate test documentation entirely to save time
   • CReduce the frequency of testing to align with milestone reviews
   • DShift from detailed upfront test plans to continuous test planning and execution within sprints

   A test manager is working on a project that uses an incremental lifecycle. The system is being delivered in three increments. How should regression testing be handled?

   • ASkip regression testing because each increment is independent
   • BPerform regression testing only after the final increment is integrated
   • CPerform regression testing after each increment to ensure existing functionality is not broken

   How does the test approach typically need to be adapted when moving from a waterfall to an iterative lifecycle?

   • ATesting should be reduced because iterations are small.
   • BTesting should be planned and executed only at the end of the project.
   • CTesting should be performed only by the development team.
