Q. 172: As a test leader you are collecting measures about defects. You recognize that after the first test cycle � covering all requirements – subsystem C has a defect density that is 150% higher than the average. Subsystem A on the other hand has a defect density that is 60% lower than the average. What conclusions for the next test cycle could you draw from this fact?
A. It is probable that subsystem C has still more hidden defects. Therefore we need to test subsystem C in more detail.
B. Because we have already found many defects in subsystem C, we should concentrate testing resources on Subsystem A.
C. Observed defect density does not allow any conclusions about the amount of additional testing.
D. We should try to equalize the amount of testing over all modules to ensure that we test all subsystems evenly.
