Have there been situations when testing deadlines were missed?

Yes, situations with missed testing deadlines do occur, especially when requirements change, resources are insufficient, or unexpected defects are found.

In such cases, it is important to:

• Promptly inform the team and stakeholders about risks and delays.
• Prioritize test scenarios, focusing on critical functions.
• Use automation to speed up repetitive tests.
• Analyze the causes of planning failures to improve processes in the future.

For example, if a large number of bugs are found at the end of a sprint, it may be necessary to reallocate resources or reduce the scope of testing less important functions to meet deadlines.
