How do you prioritize test cases when you have limited time? "When time is limited, I prioritize test cases based on risk, business impact, and critical functionality. First, I focus on high-risk areas that are most prone to defects and have the highest impact on the application's core functionality. Next, I consider business-critical scenarios that directly affect users. I also prioritize regression test cases for key features to ensure that no existing functionality is broken. If necessary, I use techniques like equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis to maximize test coverage efficiently. Additionally, I collaborate with developers and stakeholders to align priorities and ensure the most critical aspects are tested first."
