Scenario: During testing, a critical defect is discovered that prevents users from logging into the system. What would be the appropriate next step in the Defect Lifecycle?

  • Assign it a severity level and notify stakeholders
  • Ignore it and proceed with testing
  • Log it with a detailed report and assign it to developers
  • Mark it as "Deferred" and continue testing
The appropriate next step is to log the defect with a detailed report, specifying the steps to reproduce. It should then be assigned to developers for resolution. Ignoring the defect could lead to more severe issues during production, and marking it as "Deferred" may hinder the development process. Assigning severity levels helps prioritize but doesn't address the resolution.
