Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

In Agile teams, close collaboration among testers and other team members can lead to organizational risks such as: ii . Close interaction with developers causes a loss of the appropriate tester mindset. iv . Testers, once they have acquired technical development or business skills, leave the testing team.

These risks highlight the potential issues of diminished testing perspective and team turnover when testers integrate closely with developers and other roles.

Seriously, who comes up with these options? It's like they've never heard of the importance of testing the interactions between different parts of the system. Skipping integration testing is just begging for trouble.

Hah, that's a bold move, trying to skip integration testing. I'd like to see them try that and then explain to the client why their software is falling apart at the seams.

Hmm, I'm not sure I agree with option B. Integration testing may not be the most glamorous part of the process, but it's essential for ensuring the different components work together seamlessly.

Ah, I see they're trying to trick us here. Integration testing is a crucial step in the V-model, you can't just skip it! That's like trying to build a house without laying the foundation.
