14 There are several risks of managing your project's schedule with a statistical reliability model. These include (choose one or more of the following):
(A) Testers spend more energy early in the product trying to find bugs than preparing to do the rest of the project's work more efficiently
(B) Managers might not realize that the testing effort is ineffective, late in the project, because they expect a low rate of bug finding, so the low rate achieved doesn't alarm them.
