   During system testing, a tester discovers a defect that causes the application to crash when a user uploads a file with a very long filename. The tester logs the defect with a severity of 'High'. A developer reviews the defect and determines that the crash only occurs on a specific operating system version that is not widely used by the customer base. What should the developer do?

   • AClose the defect as 'Not a Defect' because the OS version is not widely used.
   • BReassign the defect to the tester with a comment that the test was invalid.
   • CReclassify the defect's priority to 'Low' and add a comment explaining the limited impact, but keep it open for a future release.
   • DFix the defect immediately because it is marked as 'High' severity.

   A test manager is creating a test plan for a project with a fixed budget and a hard deadline.

Which strategy is most effective?

   • ATest only the requirements that are easiest to test to maximize the number of tests executed.
   • BReduce the exit criteria to allow testing to complete within the budget.
   • CTest all requirements equally to ensure complete coverage.
   • DPrioritize testing based on risk, focusing on critical and high-impact requirements first.

   A QA analyst is executing a test script for a login feature. The test fails because the system does not display an error message when an incorrect password is entered. The analyst notices that the test environment has a known issue with the display driver that might affect the rendering of error messages. What is the most appropriate action for the analyst to take?

   • AFix the display driver issue immediately and re-run the test without logging the failure.
   • BPass the test because the failure is likely caused by the environment, not the application code.
   • CLog the defect with a detailed description, including the steps to reproduce and a note about the environment issue.
   • DIgnore the failure and continue with the next test case to save time.
