A small team is developing a mobile app with a fixed release date. The test manager has limited time and budget. During test planning, the team identifies the main risks and defines the test objectives. Which test activity should the team perform NEXT to ensure the test effort is focused on the highest risks?

Test implementation, to create test cases and test data from the identified conditions

Test execution, to run the tests and record the results

Test analysis, to review the test basis and identify test conditions based on the risks

Test completion, to summarize the results and archive the testware

What is the primary role of test data in the test process?

To record the results of test execution

To define the expected results of tests

To provide input values for executing test cases

A test manager is planning the test process for a system that will be maintained for several years. The manager wants to ensure that future changes can be tested efficiently. Which test activity should be emphasized to support this goal?

Test implementation, to create reusable test cases and test data

Test analysis, to identify all possible test conditions

Test completion, to archive testware and document lessons learned

Test monitoring and control, to track progress

An organization is developing a system for a client that requires frequent changes to requirements. The project uses an agile approach with two-week sprints. The test manager must decide how to structure the test process. Which approach is MOST appropriate for this context?

Integrate test activities into each sprint, with continuous test planning and analysis

Use a separate test team that tests only at the end of each release

Focus only on test execution and skip analysis and design to save time

Perform all test activities in a single phase after development is complete
