💡 Exam Hack
Agile delivers working software in short iterations and welcomes changing requirements.

The later a bug is found, the more expensive it is to fix — catching defects early (in design/requirements) saves the most.
📌 Quick Recap — Master These
Before your exam, make sure you can confidently explain and apply each of the following:
- The SDLC
- Methodologies
- Quality & Testing
- Bug Cost
Re-read any section above where you hesitate, then explain it aloud in your own words — if you can teach it simply, you understand it. Focus your final review on the tables, formulas, and the common-mistake warnings, since those are where most points are won or lost.
