ITPEC IP October 2019 Question 49
ITPEC IP October 2019 — Question 49 of 100
The tester should record the discrepancy and report it to the developer. Preserving the actual result, environment, steps, and evidence allows the responsible team to reproduce, diagnose, and correct the defect under controlled change procedures.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- reviewing every successful case is unnecessary before reporting the observed failure
- changing test cases to fit unexpected output can conceal a real defect
- the tester should not independently modify the program and continue without authorized correction and retesting
Key rule: When actual and expected results differ, document the incident, report it, correct it through change control, and retest.
