Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Recall Waterfall phase order
In Waterfall, testing should start only after implementation is complete.Step 2: Evaluate the impact
Starting testing before implementation completion risks incomplete or invalid tests because the code is not finalized.Step 3: Analyze options
Testing may be incomplete or invalid due to unfinished implementation correctly identifies the main issue. Options B and C incorrectly suggest benefits. It ensures early detection of design flaws is unrelated to the timing of testing.Final Answer:
Testing may be incomplete or invalid due to unfinished implementation -> Option BQuick Check:
Testing requires complete code in Waterfall [OK]
Quick Trick: Testing starts only after implementation ends in Waterfall [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming early testing is beneficial in Waterfall
- Confusing Waterfall with Agile practices
- Ignoring phase dependencies
