I'm putting my money on C) Likelihood and impact. FMEA is all about assessing those risk factors, plain and simple. Though I do feel bad for the test analyst - risk analysis sessions can be a real headache!

Ha! I bet the answer is C) Likelihood and impact. Classic risk analysis stuff. Though I do wonder if the 'financial damage, frequency of use and external visibility' in D) might be a sneaky trick question...

Let's go with C) Likelihood and impact for now, but keep D) in mind as well.

I agree, but D) Financial damage, frequency of use, and external visibility could also play a role in calculating risk priorities.

I think you might be right, C) Likelihood and impact are definitely key factors in risk analysis.

I'm torn between C) and D). Likelihood and impact are key, but financial and visibility factors shouldn't be overlooked. Gotta consider the whole picture when it comes to risk, you know?

But isn't financial damage and external visibility important too?

I'm going with C) Likelihood and impact as well. Can't go wrong with the classic risk factors, right? Though D) is interesting - financial damage and external visibility could certainly influence the risk prioritization.

Hmm, I would say C) Likelihood and impact. That seems like the logical choice for a risk analysis using FMEA. Severity and priority are more for overall project management, not specific risk analysis.
