What critical Information Is missing from this report?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The critical information missing from the defect report is a detailed description of the defect to enable reproduction. A clear and concise description of the steps taken to reproduce the defect is essential for developers to understand the context and to be able to replicate the issue in their environment. Without this information, it can be challenging to diagnose and fix the defect. The ISTQB CTFL syllabus emphasizes the importance of providing all necessary details in a defect report to facilitate effective communication and resolution.

Hmm, I'd say the missing 'Change history' is also a big deal. How do we know this isn't a known issue?

Typical. They always forget the crucial details. At least they included a screenshot, that's something I guess.

I agree with Maynard. Without a description of the defect, it will be difficult for developers to reproduce and fix the issue.

Agree, the report needs a step-by-step explanation of the unusual input sequence. Without that, it's going to be a nightmare to investigate and fix.

The defect report is missing a detailed description of the input sequence that caused the crash. How are we supposed to reproduce the issue without that information?
