When considering the roles of test leader and tester, which of the following tasks would NOT typically be performed by a tester?

APrepare and acquire the test data

BSet up and check the test environment

CWrite test summary reports

DReview tests developed by others

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 see your point, Ashley. It's important for testers to review tests to ensure quality.

But wouldn't reviewing tests developed by others also be a task for testers?

This question reminds me of that classic riddle: 'What do you call a test leader who can't write test reports? A test leader.' *chuckles*

Preparing and acquiring test data? That's like breathing for a tester! A has got to be the wrong answer here.

This is a tricky one, but I'm gonna say B. Setting up the test environment is definitely a tester's job, not the test leader's.

I think the correct answer is D. Reviewing tests developed by others is more of a test leader's responsibility, not a tester's.
