You are developing the code that controls an industrial Espresso machine which will be operated by waiting staff in restaurants.
The machine is rather complicated and has lots of switches and buttons, so in the next iteration instructions will be provided to the operator on a small LCD screen.
A User Story for the Operator-Instructions module is as follows:
“As an operator of the Espresso machine, I would like to know how to steam milk, so I can add steamed milk to the coffee.”
The following is a list of risks identified for this story, with assigned probability and impact.
AOperators will not read the instructions and will try various switches and buttons until something works. Probability: Low. Impact: Low
BThe instructions may be incorrect or appear in the wrong order. Probability: Low. Impact: High
CAn untrained customer will attempt to use the coffee machine. Probability: High. Impact: High
DA small child may try to steam milk. Probability: High. Impact: Low
Which of the following statements about the benefits of the Agile processes promoting early and frequent feedback is NOT true?

You are working in a software development company which, for many years, used a sequential development model and was organized into separate departments for each functional group (e.g. business analysts, developers, testers) located within their own office space.

AResilient testing means that the testing process is capable of dealing with rapid changes throughout the development process with test plans being updated during each iteration.
BCredibility means that the tester must share information with the stakeholders about the test process so that they find the selected test strategy and testing activities trustworthy.
CCross-functional teamwork means that all team members contribute to testing in various ways. For example, involving people with the test strategy, test planning and execution as well as test reporting.
DCo-located teamwork means that all team members, including developers and testers, must sit together in the same office, so they can quickly communicate face-to-face.
Which of the following sentences about the integration of development and testing activities in Agile projects is INCORRECT?
