Question 930
A tester is asked to evaluate the following situation: A developer marks a bug fixed after modifying code, but the original failing test was never rerun and the same fault persists in the build. Which observation best verifies that the stated testing issue is addressed?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the expected verification outcome: The previous reproduction now passes and the defect record references its retest result. It directly checks the corrective activity (Perform confirmation testing on the exact failure using the corrected build before closure.) for the described testing problem.
Incorrect Answers
This result may validate another testing scenario: A team closes a reported failure as 'cannot reproduce' without documenting tested conditions or asking the reporter for missing details. It does not establish the required result for this case: The previous reproduction now passes and the defect record references its retest result.
This result may validate another testing scenario: A mobile app tester files a defect with title 'does not work', no expected outcome, and no steps, preventing a developer from reproducing it. It does not establish the required result for this case: The previous reproduction now passes and the defect record references its retest result.
This result may validate another testing scenario: A team runs a penetration scanner and marks all identified security risks eliminated because the tool reported no findings, though its scan excluded authenticated endpoints. It does not establish the required result for this case: The previous reproduction now passes and the defect record references its retest result.
