22. You are managing the testing for a bank card project. The testing was scheduled to take 10 weeks but by the time the software was developed only six weeks were available for testing Knowing there were a lot of risks with the software your team started testing activities early by overseeing code reviews, defining acceptance criteria by working with the users and by doing all lest creation prior to the code arriving

You are now three days away from the go-live date Your testing has mitigated all the high and medium risk items leaving only the low-risk elements unmitigated by testing You estimate it will take two weeks to manually test the low-risk elements.

At this point what should you do?

In the testing your team is doing they are finding that about 40% of the defects they catch are actually regressions caused by other changes

Given this information what should you do to help mitigate risk'?

26. You have been assigned t o a project that has a very tight schedule. In fact, given your first analysis you do not think the planned test execution can be completed within the schedule There is no time allowed for defect fixing or for repeating tests. Regression testing has been left out of the planning entirely There is no time to develop test automation.
