Question 140
A tester is asked to evaluate the following situation: A tester spots wrong stock quantities but sends only a screenshot without reproduction steps or release version. Which repeatable testing practice most directly reduces recurrence of this problem?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This safeguard specifically targets the contributing cause: Use a structured issue template with environment and traceable evidence fields. It addresses the principle (Effective defect communication is a distinct testing activity that turns observations into actionable investigation.) and can be assessed by: Another engineer reproduces the same failure in the stated build using the defect report.
Incorrect Answers
This preventive step mitigates a different project risk (syllabus section 1.4): An engineer records all tests as passed because the execution script returned exit code zero, although assertions were skipped in one module. The targeted safeguard for the current case is: Use a structured issue template with environment and traceable evidence fields.
This preventive step mitigates a different project risk (syllabus section 1.4): A project creates detailed test cases but no test data for multi-currency rounding, and claims design is fully implemented. The targeted safeguard for the current case is: Use a structured issue template with environment and traceable evidence fields.
This preventive step mitigates a different project risk (syllabus section 1.1): A warehouse team treats a test strategy statement and the executable test cases as interchangeable, leaving no defined approach to choosing cases. The targeted safeguard for the current case is: Use a structured issue template with environment and traceable evidence fields.
