   A team has a history of finding many defects during system testing, leading to costly rework. The project manager wants to improve quality and reduce rework. Which approach would best achieve this goal?

   • AIntroduce static testing early in the lifecycle, such as requirements reviews and code inspections
   • BFocus only on dynamic testing and ignore static testing
   • CDelay testing until after release to save time
   • DIncrease the amount of system testing to catch more defects

   A tester is asked to review the design document of a new system to identify potential flaws before coding begins. Which statement best describes this activity?

   • ANon-functional testing, because design flaws are non-functional
   • BStatic testing, because the design document is examined without executing the system
   • CUnit testing, because the design is the smallest testable component
   • DDynamic testing, because the design is tested against requirements

   A project has a fixed budget and a tight deadline. The team has identified that many defects originate from ambiguous requirements. They must choose between investing in a requirements review workshop or additional system testing. Which choice best balances cost and quality?

   • AInvest in the requirements review workshop, as it addresses the root cause of defects early, reducing rework and overall cost.
   • BSkip both and rely on user feedback after release.
   • CDo both equally, splitting the budget between the two activities.
   • DInvest in additional system testing, as it will catch defects before release.

   A project manager is reviewing the defect data from past projects. The data shows that defects found during requirements reviews cost significantly less to fix than defects found during system testing. What is the most likely reason for this trend?

   • ASystem testing finds fewer defects than requirements reviews.
   • BDefects found early have not yet been built into the system, so fixing them requires less rework.
   • CDefects found during system testing are less severe than those found during reviews.
   • DRequirements reviews are cheaper to conduct than system testing.
