Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are supporting a product release and need to explain how you approach manual testing when quality risks, changing requirements, and multiple stakeholders are involved. The interviewer wants to understand how you structure test coverage, communicate findings, and decide what to test first when time is limited.
