A tester on an agile team notices that the team's test automation is not being maintained, and many tests are failing due to outdated selectors. The tester wants to address this in a way that supports continuous improvement. What is the best action?

Delete all the failing tests to make the suite pass again.

Ask the developers to fix the selectors whenever they change the UI.

Propose a regular timebox for maintaining and updating the test automation suite during each sprint.

Stop running the automated tests and rely on manual testing until the suite is fixed.

An agile team is adopting continuous integration, but the tester is unfamiliar with the CI tool being used. The tester wants to contribute to the CI pipeline by adding automated smoke tests. What is the best approach for the tester?

Wait until the team has fully implemented CI and then learn the tool at a later time.

Continue running smoke tests manually and suggest that CI is not necessary for the team.

Learn the CI tool by taking an online course and then propose a smoke test stage to the team.

Ask a developer to add the smoke tests to the CI pipeline without the tester's involvement.

How can an agile tester effectively communicate a defect to the team?

By sending a detailed email only to the developer who wrote the code

By discussing it in the daily stand-up and providing clear, concise information

By waiting until the end of the sprint to report all defects

By documenting the defect in a separate tool and not mentioning it to the team

A tester is working on a team that develops a customer relationship management (CRM) system. During a sprint, the tester discovers a defect that affects a feature the product owner has not prioritized. The tester believes the defect is critical. What should the tester do?

Fix the defect immediately without consulting the team, since it is critical.

Add the defect to the product backlog and move on to other testing tasks.

Report the defect to the project manager and ask for a decision on how to proceed.

Discuss the defect with the product owner to understand its business impact and agree on the priority.
