Explanation

With limited time, prioritize testing business-critical areas (1) and fault-prone areas (2). Testing easiest functionalities first (3) is poor risk management - it wastes resources on low-risk areas while critical features may remain untested. Risk-based testing prioritizes by business impact and technical risk.

AI explanation

Risk-based test prioritization focuses effort where it matters most: areas most critical to the business (since failures there cause the greatest impact) and areas most prone to defects (since testing there catches the most bugs per effort spent). Testing only the easiest functionality doesn't align with either risk or fault-density criteria, so it's not a sound prioritization strategy on its own.
