Which of the following variances should be explained in the Test Summary Report?

Answer Options

A.The variances between the weekly status reports and the test exit criteria
B.The variances between the defects found and the defects fixed
C.The variances between what was planned for testing and what was actually testedโœ“
D.The variances between the test cases executed and the total number of test cases

Correct Answer

C: The variances between what was planned for testing and what was actually tested

Explanation

C is correct. The variances or deviations between the test plan and the testing that was actually done must be explained in the test summary report. A is not correct because if the weekly status reports have been tracking incorrectly to the test exit criteria, something is wrong and should have been caught a lot earlier. B is not correct because this information should be included in the test summary report, but a variance is expected. D is not correct because this should be tracked in the metrics section of the report rather than as a variance.
