The above table shows 6 test procedures (P to U) that must now be entered into a test execution schedule. Business severity is regarded as the most important element in determining the sequence of the test procedures, but other dependencies must also be taken into consideration. Regression testing can only be run once all other tests have completed. Which of the following represents the MOST effective sequence for the test execution schedule (where the first entry in the sequence is the first procedure to be run, the second entry is the second to be run and so on)?

The regression testing procedure (U) must be executed last, once all other tests have completed. Business severity is the most important factor in determining the sequence, which means that R and P should be run earlier in the schedule due to their critical business impact as per the severity matrix. S cannot be executed until after P has been completed because of the dependency between these tests. Therefore, the correct sequence is R, P, S, followed by U. After the critical tests have been completed, the less severe tests (Q and T) should be executed. So, the correct sequence for the test execution schedule is R, P, S, U, T, Q.
