Question 840
A quality engineering exercise presents this condition: A feature has been redesigned, but the risk register still describes its old external billing interface and no one reviews the stale mitigation plan. Which repeatable testing practice most directly reduces recurrence of this problem?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This safeguard specifically targets the contributing cause: Include risk review in change control for architectural redesigns. It addresses the principle (Risk identification and control must be revisited as the product and context evolve.) and can be assessed by: Current risks and their owners align with the revised design and coverage.
Incorrect Answers
This preventive step mitigates a different project risk (syllabus section 5.2): A medical booking application has high impact if emergency appointments are lost, and testers choose random low-priority features for their first execution batch. The targeted safeguard for the current case is: Include risk review in change control for architectural redesigns.
This preventive step mitigates a different project risk (syllabus section 5.2): A travel booking release has a high-risk external airline API dependency, but testers execute all lower-level local unit checks and claim the dependency risk is closed. The targeted safeguard for the current case is: Include risk review in change control for architectural redesigns.
This preventive step mitigates a different project risk (syllabus section 5.1): An online retailer has only one day of test execution left but tries to run the full lower-risk suite before high-priority payment cases because the full suite is easier to schedule. The targeted safeguard for the current case is: Include risk review in change control for architectural redesigns.
