TheCost of Exposuretechnique is most suitable when you have data on thecost of testing, thelikelihood of failure, and thecost of failure. Cost of Exposure = Likelihood × Impact, which is directly applicable here:
"Risk involves the possibility of an event in the future which has negative consequences. The level of risk is determined by the likelihood of the event and the impact (the harm) from that event".
This technique helps prioritize which risks justify more testing based on potential financial impact.

A static analysis tool is a software tool that analyzes the source code of a program without executing it. It can detect various software characteristics, such as syntax errors, potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, code quality, and coding standard violations. Coding standard violations are deviations from the agreed or recommended rules and conventions for writing source code, such as naming, indentation, formatting, commenting, and complexity. A static analysis tool can check the source code against a predefined or customized coding standard and report any violations. Coding standard violations can affect the readability, maintainability, and portability of the code, and can also introduce defects or inconsistencies.

* Competence Assessment:
* Professional competenceis validated by understanding and applying testing techniques to create a decision table.
* Methodical competenceis validated by systematically collapsing the decision table to ensure efficient test case design.
* Evaluation of Options:
* BandCinvolve social and personal skills, which are unrelated to the task.
* Dmisses the professional aspect of understanding business rules.
* Ais correct because the challenge tests both professional knowledge and methodical skills.
References and Syllabus Alignment:
* Decision table techniques and testing competencies are emphasized in "Test Techniques" (TM-1.4.1) and "Test Team Skills" (TM-3.1.1).

* Competence in Handling Non-Standard Requirements:
* Methodical competence refers to the ability to systematically analyze and interpret information, even when it is unconventional or unstructured.
* The tester needs to refine their skills in identifying and deriving testable requirements from the available data.
* Evaluation of Options:
* A(Professional competence) refers to domain knowledge but does not address the specific challenge.
* Bis correct as it pertains to systematically working through unconventional requirements.
* C(Social competence) andD(Personal competence) do not address the analytical challenge.
References and Syllabus Alignment:
* Methodical competence is emphasized under "Test Management Skills" in the ISTQB syllabus (TM-
3.1.1).
