PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 53

A business analyst has received a test result report that shows evidence of defective functionality. The business analyst checks the test result again and verifies that the functionality behaves according to the requirements.
At this point, the business analyst should first:

Answer options

• A. let the users decide if the test result is acceptable.
• B. change the requirement according to the test result.
• C. verify that the test case is incorrect.
• D. ask the tester to perform the test again.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the first step should be to ensure the accuracy of the test case if the functionality meets the requirements. Options A and B are inappropriate steps, as they do not address the validity of the test case itself. Option D, while somewhat reasonable, would be premature without first confirming the correctness of the test case.
