During User Acceptance Testing (UAT), a tester operating in the test environment asks you to change a data point in one of the tables.
In the development environment, you navigate to the database and adjust the data point that the tester described.
What is the issue with the steps taken?
The correct issue with the steps taken is that the change to the database was made in the wrong environment. During User Acceptance Testing (UAT), any modifications should be performed in the development environment first. Once changes are validated in the development environment, they should then be deployed to the test environment for further verification before finally being deployed to UAT. This ensures the integrity of the UAT environment for its intended purpose of final user validation.
All answers seem legit.. case dependent tho, but the most correct ones are A and B, but its obvious that its B.
A is not practical. We update data all the time. But then A could still be the right answer. C could be the correct answer.
Sorry, I meant to say B, the wrong environment.
You should never make any modifications directly in a UAT environment. The changes need to be made in the DEV environment, then deploy to test to check if the change did the thing you want it to do and THEN you deploy it to UAT to let the users test. So I think that B is NOT correct. The change should be made in the DEV environment first!
