I’d say ii and iv are the most likely risks here.

I see iii as a real issue, keeping up with changes is tough!

Surprised to see "losing the tester mindset" as a risk, isn't collaboration supposed to help?

I think testers losing motivation is a bigger risk than that.

I feel like option iv makes sense too, especially if testers gain skills and move on to other roles.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think keeping up with changes in iterations is definitely a concern, so maybe iii is one of the answers.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think losing motivation could be a risk too, like in option i.

I remember discussing how close collaboration can sometimes blur the lines of roles, which might relate to option ii.

I'm a bit confused by this question. There are a few different risks mentioned, and I'm not sure which two are the most significant. I'll have to review the information again and try to identify the key organizational risks that could arise from the close collaboration in Agile teams.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The question is asking about the organizational risks of close collaboration between testers and other team members in Agile. I'd say the two biggest risks are the loss of the tester mindset (ii) and not being able to keep up with the rapid changes (iii). Those seem like the most critical issues to watch out for.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I can see the risks of testers losing motivation (i) and their specialized skills (iv), but I'm not sure if those are the two most significant risks. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This question seems straightforward. I think the key risks are testers losing their independent mindset (ii) and not being able to keep up with the fast pace of Agile (iii).

Yeah, that's a good point, Carman. And let's not forget about the risk of testers leaving the team after they've gained all that valuable experience. Option iv is a sneaky one.

I'm with you on that, Mabel. But I also worry about the tester mindset getting lost in all that close collaboration. Option ii is a real concern in my book.

Whoa, this is a tricky one! Testers need to be super on their game to keep up with the constant changes in Agile. Option iii is a big risk, for sure.
