declared fit for purpose. However, there were 20 outstanding incidents deferred to increment
two.
The amount of voluntary overtime worked PV the test team has reduced the second
Increment
slippage to just 3 weeks.
There is talk of reducing the scope of requirements. The purpose of this is to first deliver the
application with support for manual testing and then to provide a delivery * weeks later to
resolve
any remaining points and provide support for automated testing (i.e. the link to the capturereplay
tool).

existing functionality is not compromised by future iterations.
iv. The company test strategy does not fit well within the V life cycle model.
A. (i) and (ii)
B. (i) and (iv)
C. (ii) and (iii)
D. (ii) and (iv)
