In the context of the software development lifecycle, what is the primary purpose of application testing?

To document the design decisions made during the development phase

To automate the deployment of the application to production environments

To identify defects and verify that the application meets specified requirements

To estimate the total cost of the software project

During a test cycle, a QA engineer finds a defect that causes a minor UI misalignment but also notices that the application crashes when a specific input is entered. The engineer logs both issues. Which action best aligns with effective defect management?

Combine both issues into one defect report to save time

Log the crash as a separate high-severity defect and the UI issue as a low-severity defect

Log only the crash and ignore the UI issue because it is minor

Log the UI issue as high severity to get it fixed quickly
