Question 5, Answer B has V in both product and project risk, I assume one of them is meant to be IV as that does not appear on either side. I think it is supposed to read:-
II and IV are primarily product risks and I, III and V are primarily project risks.
This question has the wrong answer:
Consider the following list of either product or project risks:
I. An incorrect calculation of fees might short-change the organization.
II. A vendor might fail to deliver a system component on time.
III. A defect might allow hackers to gain administrative privileges.
IV. A skills gap might occur in a new technology used in the system.
V. A defect-prioritization process might overload the development team.
Which of the following statements is true?
A I is primarily a product risk and II, III, IV and V are primarily project risks.
B II and V are primarily product risks and I, III and V are primarily project risks.
C I and III are primarily product risks, while II, IV and V are primarily project risks.
D Ill and V are primarily product risks, while I, II and IV are primarily project risks.
The correct answer should be C. The same question is in my Foundations of Software Testing Manual.
