A test execution report shows:
TestA: Passed
TestB: Passed
TestC: Passed
TestD: Passed
But the tester says TestC actually failed. What is the most likely problem?
ATestD result was copied to TestC by mistake
BTestC was never executed
CAll tests actually passed
DThe report was not updated after the test run
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand report and tester mismatch

    If the report shows TestC passed but tester says it failed, the report is outdated or incorrect.

  2. Step 2: Evaluate other options

    TestC was likely executed but result not updated; copying results is less common; all passing contradicts tester.

  3. Final Answer:

    The report was not updated after the test run -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Report outdated = wrong pass shown [OK]
Quick Trick: Mismatch means report not refreshed [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming test was not run
  • Believing all tests passed
  • Ignoring report update timing
