Exam CTFL-2018 topic 1 question 2 discussion

Option b is correct. It describes Debugging as the process of locating the cause of failures Option c is also correct. It describes Debugging as the process of analyzing and fixing the defects

Debugging is the process of identifying and resolving defects, errors, or bugs in software. It is a key activity in the software development lifecycle 1. Option A is incorrect because it describes Test Design, which is the process of designing tests to find failures 2. Option B is correct. It describes Debugging as the process of locating the cause of failures 1. Option C is also correct. It describes Debugging as the process of analyzing and fixing the defects 1. Option D is incorrect because it describes Test Execution, which is the process of executing tests to show failures 2. Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.

Designing tests is test analysis and implementation. Fixing the defects is resolving and part of debugging right!

"Testing and debugging are different. Executing tests can show failures that are caused by defects in the software. Debugging is the development activity that finds, analyzes, and fixes such defects. Subsequent confirmation testing checks whether the fixes resolved the defects." This information is found on Page 13 of the syllabus. So, the activities that are specifically related to DEBUGGING are: b) Locating the cause of failures. c) Analysing and fixing the defects.

B and C are correct

c) Analysing and fixing the defects. Debugging is done by developers not testers

C is correct

C is correct

It should be C.

As a QA/tester your job is to test and find failures and not to fix them, you are to report to a Dev who will fix the bug...hence I think A and B

should be C

It should be b and c since debugging is when a bug is found and you want to find the root cause of it, then fix it and then confirm that the bug is resolved.

b) Locating the cause of failures and c) Analyzing and fixing the defects are debugging activities because they are focused on finding and correcting errors in the software. Locating the cause of failures involves identifying the root cause of a problem and understanding why the software is not functioning as intended. This helps in finding the source of the error and determining what needs to be fixed. Analyzing and fixing the defects involves looking at the code, data, and environment to understand the impact of the error and determine the best solution to fix the problem. This involves making changes to the code, running tests, and verifying that the solution has fixed the issue. While designing tests to find failures and executing tests to show failures are important tasks in the software development lifecycle, they are considered testing activities, not debugging activities.

Definitivamente la respuesta es C

The correct answer is C.

C IS THE RIGHT ANSWER
