CTFL_Syll2018 Exam Dumps : ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (Syllabus 2018)

How to fix the defect is not needed to specify in a defect report because it is not part of the information that is required to describe, reproduce, and prioritize the defect. How to fix the defect is part of the solution or resolution that is provided by the developers or maintainers who are responsible for correcting the defect. A defect report is a document that records and communicates the details of a defect found during testing. A defect report typically includes the following information:

• Defect ID: A unique identifier for the defect
• Summary: A brief description of the defect
• Severity and priority: An indication of how serious and urgent the defect is
• Test environment details: A description of the hardware, software, network, data, tools, etc., that were used when the defect was found
• How to reproduce the defect: A step-by-step procedure to recreate the defect
• Expected and actual results: A comparison of what should have happened and what actually happened when the defect occurred
• Attachments: Any additional information or evidence that can help understand or resolve the defect, such as screenshots, logs, files, etc.

You can find more information about defect reports in [A Study Guide to the ISTQB® Foundation Level 2018 Syllabus], Chapter 5.

The statement that use case testing is designed to find defects in the process flow is true, because use case testing is a technique that tests the end-to-end user interactions and outcomes based on use cases or scenarios that describe how the software under test should be used . Use case testing can help to find defects in the process flow, such as missing steps, incorrect sequences, or invalid transitions . The other options are not true statements about use case testing. Option A is false, because use case testing is not designed to be used by real users, but rather by professional testers who design and execute test cases based on use cases or scenarios . Option C is false, because use case testing is not designed to find defects in the data flow, but rather in the process flow. Data flow testing is a different technique that tests how data values are defined, used, and modified by the software under test . Option D is false, because use case testing is not always designed by customers or end users, but rather by testers who analyse the requirements or specifications of the software under test to identify use cases or scenarios .

The overall quality of the software can be increased by finding and fixing defects before releasing the software to the customers or users. A test case passes means that no defect was found in the tested functionality, which indicates a high quality. A test case fails, defect gets logged which subsequently gets fixed means that a defect was found and corrected, which improves the quality. Some tests are deferred because test environment is not available means that some functionality was not tested, which may leave some defects undetected, which reduces the quality. A bug is found but there is no corresponding test case means that a defect was found by chance or by other means than planned testing, which does not increase the quality of the testing process or the test coverage.
