Question 38
You are part of a software testing team working on a project that follows an iterative release process. In the fourth iteration, you encountered a critical failure. The developer diligently investigated the issue, identified the root cause, and successfully resolved it, releasing the fix in the fifth iteration. You confirmed the fix and closed the defect report.
However, during the testing of the eighth iteration, you stumble upon the same failure once again. Perplexed, you approach the developer for insights, only to find that they are equally puzzled and unaware of how or when the issue resurfaced. They request your assistance in investigating the matter further.
How can configuration management help you gather more information on this failure?
-
A
You can see what changed in iteration 5 to fix the problem.
-
B
You can reload and retest iterations 6 and 7 to see where the problem was re-introduced.
-
C
You can review all the code changes that have occurred since iteration 5 to see what might have broken it.
-
D
You can improve the regression testing to ensure the failure is caught earlier.
