Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Writing test summary reports is typically the responsibility of a test leader or manager, who consolidates testing activities and results to communicate with stakeholders. Testers are more involved in preparing and acquiring test data, setting up and checking the test environment, and reviewing tests developed by others. These tasks are more hands-on and technical, aligning with the role of a tester .

I'm going with C. Isn't that the job of the test manager to summarize the testing efforts? Testers are too busy playing Solitaire to write reports.

A, B, and D all seem like tasks that a tester would be involved in. C is the only one that doesn't quite fit.

D is the wrong answer for sure. Reviewing tests developed by others is definitely a task that a tester would be expected to perform.

But preparing and acquiring test data is also a task that testers may not typically do.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I feel like a tester could potentially write test summary reports as well.
