Testing Fundamentals - Why Software Testing Matters

A tester wrote this test script snippet:

def test_divide():
    result = 10 / 0
    assert result == 0

What is the main problem with this test?

ATest function name is incorrect

BAssertion should check for 10, not 0

CMissing print statement

DDivision by zero causes runtime error

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify the operation causing error
Dividing 10 by 0 causes a ZeroDivisionError at runtime.
Step 2: Understand impact on test execution
Because of the error, assertion is never reached and test fails with exception.
Final Answer:
Division by zero causes runtime error -> Option D
Quick Check:
Division by zero = runtime error [OK]

Quick Trick: Division by zero always causes error [OK]
