[All TM12 Questions]

After the presentation, you are asked to explain the chart.

Assume you have applied a full risk-based testing strategy.

Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the pie chart?

Number of correct responses: 1

AAll the risk items have been covered with tests. No more risk items remain to test

BAccording to the full risk-based testing strategy applied, it is very likely that the highest-risk items, tests and bugs remain in the blue and red areas. Therefore, it is very risky to release the application

COnly the lowest-risk items, tests and bugs should remain in the blue and red areas. Therefore the application can be released at any time subject to management of the items identified in those areas

D97 percent of the risk items has been tested. No open bugs or test failures remain. Only 3 percent of risk items remains to be covered by the remaining test

Option A is misleading; we can't be sure all risks are covered.

Wait, only 3% left? That sounds too good to be true.

I think C makes sense if we manage the low-risk items well.

I recall that the highest-risk items should be prioritized, so I’m leaning towards option B, but I’m not completely confident.

I’m a bit confused about the percentages mentioned in option D. Did we cover how to assess that in our study sessions?

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to identify if all risk items were covered. I feel like option B might be the right choice here.

I remember discussing risk-based testing in class, but I'm not entirely sure how to interpret the pie chart in this context.

This is a good example of why understanding risk-based testing is so important. I'm leaning towards option B, as the blue and red areas likely represent the highest-risk items that still need to be addressed. But I'll make sure to read the question and answers thoroughly before selecting my final answer.

Based on the pie chart, it seems like option D might be the best answer. If 97% of the risk items have been tested, then the remaining 3% are likely the lowest-risk items. I'll double-check the wording, but that's my initial take.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Does "full risk-based testing strategy" mean all risks have been covered, or just the highest-risk items? I'll need to think this through carefully.

Okay, the key here is understanding the risk-based testing approach. I think option B is the most likely answer, as the blue and red areas likely represent the highest-risk items that still need to be addressed.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully analyze the pie chart and the risk-based testing strategy to determine the best answer.

Because it mentions that 97 percent of risk items have been tested and there are no open bugs or test failures. It seems like a more comprehensive coverage.

Ooh, 'subject to management of the items identified in those areas.' Sounds like a recipe for a disaster waiting to happen. C is a hard pass from me, dawg.
