A) Consultative test strategy II. Reactive test strategy III. Analytical test strategy IV. Process-compliant test strategy Consider also the following examples of test activities: Prioritize the test cases, based on the results of a FMEA analysis, to ensure early coverage of the most important areas and discovery of the most important defects during test execution Execute usability testing driven by the guidance of a sample of users (external to the test team) Perform exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phase On an Agile project, execute tests that cover the test conditions identified for each user story of a feature planned for iteration Which of the following correctly matches each test strategy with an appropriate example?
B) I-2; II-3; III-4; IV-1
C) I-3; II-2; III-1; IV-4
D) I-1; II-2; III-3; IV-4
E) I-2; II-3; III-1; IV-4

Consultative test strategy is about early and continuous stakeholder interaction and early and constant feedback. Execution of usability testing driven by the guidance of a sample of users (external to the test team) fits well with this test strategy. So, option I matches with test activity III.
Reactive test strategy is about reacting to the software/product changes by modifying the test plans, and test cases. Performing exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phase fits well with this test strategy. So, option II matches with test activity II.
Analytical test strategy focuses on analysis and metrics based test planning and test execution. Prioritize the test cases, based on the results of FMEA analysis, fits well with this test strategy. So, option III matches with test activity I.
Process-compliant test strategy focuses on following industry or regulatory standards, particularly in complex systems, that would otherwise require significant efforts to comprehend and navigate through. On an Agile project, executing tests that cover the test conditions identified for each user story of a feature planned for iteration aligns well with this test strategy. So, option IV matches with test activity IV.
