BA-201 · Question #51
After the first round of user acceptance testing for a Sales Cloud project, the business analyst discovered that a high number of test cases failed. What is a possible reason why the test cases failed
The correct answer is C. Missing test script details. A high failure rate across many test cases in UAT typically points to a systemic issue with the test scripts themselves rather than individual defects. If test scripts lack sufficient detail - missing steps, unclear expected results, missing test data, or ambiguous preconditions

Explanation
A high failure rate across many test cases in UAT typically points to a systemic issue with the test scripts themselves rather than individual defects. If test scripts lack sufficient detail - missing steps, unclear expected results, missing test data, or ambiguous preconditions - testers will execute tests inconsistently or incorrectly, causing widespread failures that don't accurately reflect system behavior. Option A (missing org access) would prevent testing from starting at all, not cause mass failures. Option B (missing result details) is a documentation gap after testing, not a cause of failure during testing.
