Work only at the end of the project

Collaborate throughout the sprint to ensure quality

Focus solely on documentation

Execute only manual tests

10. How does agile testing address changing requirements?

By rejecting all changes to requirements

By incorporating changes in the next sprint

By freezing requirements at project start

By ignoring requirement changes

11. What is the primary benefit of test automation in agile?

Eliminating manual testing completely

Enabling rapid feedback and frequent releases

Reducing the number of testers needed

Replacing developers with testers

12. In agile testing, what is a sprint?

13. Which testing type focuses on verifying individual components?

Integration testing

System testing

Unit testing

Acceptance testing

14. What is the significance of the Definition of Done in agile testing?

It marks the end of the project

It defines criteria for completed, tested, and deployable work

It eliminates the need for testing

It applies only to developers

15. How should agile testers prioritize test cases?

Test everything equally

Focus on high-risk areas and business value

Test only what is easy to automate

Avoid testing critical features
