Which of the following is a possible reason for introducing a defect in software code?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The ISTQB CTFL syllabus identifies several causes for defects in software. One prominent reason, as highlighted in the curriculum, is the pressure and rush to meet tight deadlines, which can lead to insufficiently reviewed or tested code being moved into further stages of testing or production. This scenario describes rushing to meet a deadline as a potential cause for defects because it may compromise the thoroughness of code development and testing. Reference: ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level Syllabus v4.0, Section 1.4.1 'Why is Testing Necessary?'.

I guess all of these options could lead to defects, but I'm leaning towards improper system testing as a major factor.

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and it mentioned static vs. dynamic testing. That could definitely introduce defects.

I think rushing to meet a deadline is a common reason for defects, like we discussed in our last class.
