Testing Fundamentals - Testing Models and Approaches

A tester wrote this pseudocode to select features to test based on risk:

features = [{"name": "A", "impact": 5, "likelihood": 4},
            {"name": "B", "impact": 3, "likelihood": 6}]

for feature in features:
    risk = feature["impact"] + feature["likelihood"]
    if risk > 8:
        print(feature["name"])

What is wrong with this code for risk-based testing?

ARisk should be calculated by multiplying impact and likelihood, not adding

BThe loop should use feature.name instead of feature["name"]

CThe risk threshold should be less than 8, not greater

DThe features list should be sorted before looping

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Review risk calculation method
Risk-based testing calculates risk by multiplying impact and likelihood, not adding them.
Step 2: Identify error in code
The code adds impact and likelihood, which is incorrect for risk calculation.
Final Answer:
Risk should be calculated by multiplying impact and likelihood, not adding -> Option A
Quick Check:
Risk = Impact x Likelihood, not sum [OK]

Quick Trick: Risk = impact x likelihood, not sum [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Adding instead of multiplying impact and likelihood
Confusing dictionary access syntax
Assuming sorting is required before risk check
