Question 400
In a fictional application-delivery project, the team reports: A product manager edits requirements while a formal review is underway, causing reviewers to analyze different versions and duplicate defect reports. Which repeatable testing practice most directly reduces recurrence of this problem?

This preventive step mitigates a different project risk (syllabus section 3.1): A fintech tester performs a code review and discovers a missing null-handling branch before the feature compiles, but the team says it cannot count as testing until execution. The targeted safeguard for the current case is: Provide stable review baselines and controlled change notices.
