Defect resolution should consider benefits, costs, and risks to determine if fixing is justified.
"Defects should be tracked from discovery to resolution... This process must be agreed with all those participating in defect management... including classification and resolution decisions."

Understanding SMART Goals:
SMART goals must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
The goal "automate 90% of the manual regression tests before the product release date" may not be achievable depending on the time constraints and resources available.
Evaluation of Options:
A is correct because the issue lies in whether automating 90% is feasible within the timeline.
B is incorrect as the goal is specific.
C is incorrect because automating regression tests is relevant to reducing regressions.
D is incorrect since the goal is measurable by the percentage of automation achieved.
Reference and Syllabus Alignment:
Aligned with ISTQB Advanced Test Management guidelines on goal setting and test automation strategies (TM-1.6.2).

Product risk analysis is the process of identifying and assessing the product risks that may affect the quality or functionality of the software under test1. Product risk analysis involves two primary activities: risk identification and risk assessment. Risk identification is the activity of finding, naming, and describing the risks that might affect the software under test2. Risk assessment is the activity of estimating the impact and probability of occurrence (likelihood) of the identified risks, and prioritizing them based on these factors3.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because risk testing and risk management are not primary activities of product risk analysis, but rather activities that follow or use the results of product risk analysis. Risk testing is the activity of designing, implementing, and executing tests based on the product risk levels to reduce the level of product risks and inform stakeholders of their status4. Risk management is the activity of planning, monitoring, and controlling the risks and the risk mitigation actions in the software project5. Option C is incorrect because risk identification and risk testing are not primary activities of product risk analysis, but rather activities that are part of product risk analysis and risk-based testing respectively. Option D is incorrect because risk management and risk assessment are not primary activities of product risk analysis, but rather activities that are part of risk management and product risk analysis respectively.

According to the tool lifecycle model, the evolution stage is when the tool is adapted to new requirements or environments, such as a new operating system. This stage involves modifying the tool to meet the changing needs of the users and the system. The evolution stage is followed by the retirement stage, when the tool is no longer used or supported.
