   During an iteration, a tester finds a defect in a feature that was just integrated. The developer is already working on the next story. The team uses a shared definition of done and holds a daily stand-up. What is the most effective way to manage this defect in the agile context?

   • AAsk the tester to fix the defect themselves since they found it, to avoid disturbing the developer.
   • BLog the defect in a separate defect-tracking system and only review it at the end of the iteration.
   • CDiscuss the defect in the daily stand-up and have the team decide together whether to fix it now or track it in the product backlog.
   • DAssign the defect to the developer immediately and require them to fix it before starting any new work.

   A team is developing a safety-critical medical device. They have extensive automated unit and integration tests (Quadrant 1) and automated acceptance tests (Quadrant 2). The regulatory environment requires evidence of product behavior under realistic user conditions. The test manager must decide how to allocate testing effort. Which approach best addresses the regulatory need while respecting agile principles?

   • APerform all testing manually and abandon automation to satisfy regulatory documentation requirements.
   • BAdd structured exploratory testing sessions focused on user workflows, documented with session-based test management, and pair them with automated regression tests.
   • CReplace exploratory testing with more automated acceptance tests, since automation is more reliable and repeatable.
   • DIncrease the number of unit tests to achieve 100% code coverage, as this provides the strongest evidence of correctness.
