Frage 10 von 20

1

During test execution, the test manager describes the following situation to the project team: '90% of the test cases have been run. 20% of the test cases have identified defects. 127 defects have been found. 112 defects have been fixed and have passed confirmation testing. Of the remaining 15 defects, project management has decided that they do not need to be fixed prior to release.' Which of the following is the most reasonable interpretation of this test status report?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The remaining 15 defects should be confirmation tested prior to release.

  • The remaining 10% of test cases should be run prior to release.

  • The system is now ready for release with no further testing or development effort.

  • The programmers should focus their attention on fixing the remaining known defects prior to release.
