Part 1 "Test Techniques various" As part of a risk analysis, technical risks are analyzed. Which TWO factors influence technical risk? 1 credit [K2]

Question

Options

• AComplexity of technology
• BFrequency of use of the affected failure
• CInterfacing and integration issues
• DDamage to image
• ELack of reasonable workaround

• B

• D

Explanation

A (Complexity of technology) and C (Interfacing and integration issues) are correct because both are inherent properties of the technical implementation itself - they describe characteristics of the system's architecture and components that directly increase the probability or impact of technical failures during development and testing.

B (Frequency of use) describes how often a failure mode occurs, which is a metric used in risk evaluation (likelihood), not a factor that defines whether a risk is technical in nature.

D (Damage to image) is a business/reputational impact - it describes a consequence of a risk materializing, not a factor that makes a risk technical.

E (Lack of reasonable workaround) speaks to the severity of a risk's impact (how recoverable the situation is), again a risk evaluation criterion, not a source of technical risk.

Memory tip: Think "technical risk = something about the thing being built." Complexity (how hard the tech is) and integration (how the pieces connect) are properties of the system itself - anything about consequences, frequency, or business impact belongs in a different risk dimension.
