I think both time and risk are important, but if I had to choose losing a project or getting law suits from harming the public, I would choose increasing testing time because safety is number 1. I could not be able to reduce the time because quantity is not everything, but quality is. The product needs to be done the right way because someone can get hurt and even the company can be shutdown due to the incident. I would honestly extend the time because comparing the cost of a law suite due to death vs extension, extension would be less. The company will benefit from extending time because they can make it up in selling a good product that won’t harm anyone rather being shutdown from a bad product.
