ISQI Certified Tester Foundation Level — Question 18

Which statement correctly describes debugging?

Answer options

• A. Testers identify defects, developers locate and correct defects, testers confirm the correction has cleared the original defect
• B. Developers identify defects, testers locate defects, developers correct and confirm the correction has cleared the original defect
• C. Testers identify and locate defects, developers correct defects and confirm the correction has cleared the original defect
• D. Developers identify, locate and correct defects, testers confirm the correction has cleared the original defect

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because it accurately describes the roles of testers and developers in the debugging process. Testers are responsible for identifying defects, while developers locate and fix them, and testers then confirm the fixes. The other options misrepresent the roles, particularly in how defects are identified and confirmed.
