QA Fundamentals · Senior · Question 2 of 76
A team ships daily, but releases still fail in production. What is usually the most effective first move?
- 1Analyse escaped defects to find which test levels missed them
- 2Add a manual regression phase of two weeks before each release
- 3Double the number of end-to-end UI tests in the pipeline
Show the answer
Correct answer: Analyse escaped defects to find which test levels missed them
Explanation
Escaped defect analysis shows the real gap: missing contract tests, untested configs, no monitoring. Adding slow gates everywhere hurts flow without targeting the cause.
