In a test suite, test script A creates a new user account, and test script B is designed to log in with that account. If the test suite executes scripts in alphabetical order, what is a potential issue with this suite structure?

The suite will run faster because scripts are independent.

The suite has a dependency between scripts, making it fragile if the order changes.

Test script B will run before test script A, causing a dependency failure.

Test script A will fail because the user already exists.

Given the following pseudocode for an automated test script: ``` username = "testuser" password = "Passw0rd!" loginPage.open() loginPage.enterUsername(username) loginPage.enterPassword(password) loginPage.clickLogin() assertTrue(dashboard.isDisplayed()) ``` What is the intended behavior of this script?

It verifies that the login page is displayed after entering credentials.

It tests the login page with invalid credentials and expects an error message.

It logs in with valid credentials and verifies that the dashboard is displayed.

It verifies that the password field is masked when typing.

After running an automated test suite, the execution log shows that test case TC-101 passed, but the test report indicates that TC-101 failed. What is the most likely reason for this discrepancy?

The test automation tool has a defect in its reporting mechanism.

The test report is generated from the execution log, so they should match.

The test report was generated from a previous run.

The test script contains a bug that causes inconsistent results.
