Your question is Prioritizing QA Coverage Under Deadline. Take a moment with it on the right.
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).
Tell me about a time you had to decide what to test first when a release deadline was tight and you could not cover everything. How did you choose between areas like UI flows, API behavior, data validation, or automation, how did you communicate the risk, and what was the outcome?
