Wow, these candidates are really giving it their all! I love the humor, though. It's like they're trying to solve a mystery or something. Keep it up, folks!

Wait, wait, wait... The tester can't know the actual cause yet? What is this, some kind of mind-reading test? I'm just going to guess C, D, and E and hope for the best.

Haha, this is like a game of 20 questions! Okay, let's see... The tester can't know the actual cause yet, and they probably don't have the steps to reproduce all figured out. Oh, and the lifecycle phase? That's a tough one. I'll go with C, D, and E.

I believe it's important to have the steps to reproduce the failure for easier debugging.

Hmm, I don't know. I'd say the type of defect and the actual and expected results are definitely known at this point. But the lifecycle phase, the actual cause, and the steps to reproduce? Nah, those are probably still missing.

I agree with Marguerita. The lifecycle phase and actual cause can be added later after investigation.

I think the type of defect, actual and expected result, and steps to reproduce can't be present yet.

Well, this is a tricky one. I mean, the tester just created the incident report, so how could they possibly know the actual cause of the failure, right? I'm going with C, D, and E.
