Which of the following sentences correctly describes the risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A product risk is a risk that affects the quality or timeliness of the software product being developed or tested1.Product risks are related to the requirements, design, implementation, verification, and maintenance of the software product2.

The risk of the sub-contractor failing to meet his commitment is a product risk, as it could cause a delay in the completion of the testing required for the current cycle, which in turn could affect the release date of the product.The release date is an important aspect of the product quality, as it reflects the customer satisfaction and the market competitiveness of the product3.

The other options are not correct because:

A) It is not true that any risk associated with development timeline is a product risk.Some risks could be project risks, which are risks that affect the management or control of the software project, such as budget, resources, schedule, or communication1. For example, a risk of losing a key project stakeholder is a project risk, not a product risk.

B) It is not true that the risk is no longer a risk for the Test Manager since an independent party is managing it.The Test Manager is still responsible for ensuring that the testing activities are completed according to the test plan and the quality objectives4.The Test Manager should monitor and control the sub-contractor's performance and communicate with him regularly to identify and mitigate any potential issues or deviations5.

C)It is not clear what is meant by ''object'' in this option, but it could be interpreted as the software system under test or the test object6. In any case, the risk is not an object risk, as it does not affect the successful completion of the object, but rather the successful completion of the testing of the object.An object risk could be a risk that affects the functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, or portability of the software system under test2. For example, a risk of the software system having a high complexity or a low testability is an object risk, not a product risk.

Yes, that's true. So, it is definitely a product risk.

But wouldn't it also impact the testing required for the current cycle?

I agree with Daisy. If the sub-contractor fails, it will delay the release of the product.
