During smoke testing of a new software build, critical modules like login and payment fail while others pass. What is the most appropriate next action?
AProceed with detailed testing on the modules that passed
BReject the build and report the critical failures to the development team
CIgnore the failures and continue testing all features
DPerform sanity testing on the failed modules immediately
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand smoke test role

    Smoke testing checks critical features to decide if build is testable.
  2. Step 2: Analyze failure impact

    Failures in critical modules mean build is unstable.
  3. Step 3: Decide next step

    Reject build and report issues; detailed testing should not proceed.
  4. Final Answer:

    Reject the build and report the critical failures to the development team -> Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    Critical failures stop further testing [OK]
Quick Trick: Critical failures mean build rejection [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Continuing testing despite critical failures
  • Confusing sanity testing with smoke testing next steps
