What happens if all the necessary testing doesn't occur in a Sprint?

The correct answer is C. A risk of not creating a potentially shippable product occurs. In Scrum, each Sprint should produce a 'Done' Increment - a potentially releasable product. Testing is typically part of the Definition of Done. If testing is incomplete, the Increment may not meet the Definition of Done, which means the product may not be in a shippable state. T

Explanation

In Scrum, each Sprint should produce a 'Done' Increment - a potentially releasable product. Testing is typically part of the Definition of Done. If testing is incomplete, the Increment may not meet the Definition of Done, which means the product may not be in a shippable state. This creates delivery risk. Stories are not simply moved to the next Sprint as a routine practice, and adding testers or updating burndown charts do not address the core problem. The team should prevent this by ensuring the Definition of Done is realistic and achievable within the Sprint.
