Test Strategy and Risk Prioritization Questions

Design comprehensive test strategies by identifying business critical workflows, high risk components, and potential failure modes, then prioritize testing effort to reduce the greatest risk. Topics include mapping tests to business impact, defining layers of testing from unit to end to end, establishing a test pyramid and smoke and regression subsets for different environments, and selecting metrics to drive continuous improvement. Candidates should demonstrate trade off reasoning about coverage versus feedback speed and explain how to evolve strategy as product and platform constraints change.
