Answer it first, then compare. Nothing here is saved or scored.
Model answer
Discuss agile adaptability: maintaining a living test plan rather than a rigid document, focusing on risk-based testing for the most volatile areas, automating stable flows first, and using exploratory testing for new features. Mention how you communicated scope changes to the team and negotiated realistic timelines. Strong answers include specific examples of reprioritizing test cases when requirements shifted.
