   A tester is testing a new mobile game. The tester finds a bug that causes the game to crash when the player rotates the device during a specific animation.

   A game development team is about to release a patch. The QA manager assigns a tester to verify that the patch fixes a specific crash bug and does not introduce new issues in the main menu. The tester is also a big fan of the game and enjoys playing it. What is the most appropriate way for the tester to balance their role?

   • AAsk other players to test the patch and report their experiences, as they are more representative of real users.
   • BSkip the regression tests because the patch is small and the crash fix is the priority.
   • CFollow the test plan: execute the specific crash scenario, then run regression tests on the main menu, and document all results.
   • DPlay the game normally and see if the crash happens again, while also enjoying the new content.
