I . Testers lose motivation and fail at their core tasks.

ii . Close interaction with developers causes a loss of the appropriate tester mindset.

iii . Testers are not able to keep pace with incoming changes in time-constrained iterations.

iv . Testers, once they have acquired technical development or business skills, leave the testing team.

Aii and iii

Bi and iii

Ci and ii

Dii and iv

Suggested Answer: D

I feel like keeping pace with changes is a big issue, but I’m uncertain if that’s the main risk we should focus on here.

Toi 1 year ago

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the risk of testers leaving for development roles is definitely a concern in Agile environments.

Kathryn 1 year ago

I’m not entirely sure, but I think losing motivation could be a risk too, especially if testers feel overwhelmed by constant changes.

Cordelia 1 year ago

I remember discussing how close collaboration can sometimes blur the lines of roles, which might lead to losing that tester mindset.

This is a tricky one. I need to make sure I understand the nuances of each risk and how they relate to the Agile context. I'll take my time and think it through step-by-step.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about organizational risks that could arise from the close collaboration between testers and other team members in Agile. I think I have a good handle on this, so I'll give it a shot.

Kaycee 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options cover a range of potential risks, and I'll need to carefully consider each one to determine the best two.

Veronica 1 year ago

This question seems straightforward. I'll focus on the key risks mentioned and try to identify the two most relevant ones.

Lynette 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to be focused on who should be involved in defining the services, but I'm not totally clear on the implications of each choice. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Curt 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. Blockchain is known for securely storing financial transactions, so A is the obvious choice here. The other options don't seem to align with the core purpose of a blockchain.

I agree with A) ii and iii. Testers have to stay sharp and ahead of the curve in agile, or they'll end up like a cat chasing its tail.

Olga 2 years ago

Ha! I'd say the real risk is testers becoming so technically skilled they start writing code instead of testing it. Talk about an identity crisis!
