Question 2

Risks should be constantly reviewed. Given the current situation, which one of the following factors is most likely to lead to a revised view of product risk? 3 credits

A. The method used for test estimation is not accurate enough and hence the money spent on testing exceeded its budget.

B. The concerns over the user interface raises the likelihood of a risk in that area and increases the amount of test effort needed for the user interface, thereby limiting the test effort available for other parts of the test management tool.

C. The delivery of the application without the interface changes may upset the user community.
