Part 7 "Test Process & Incident Management" As a technical test analyst, which documents would you typically create? 1 credit [K2]

The correct answer is C. Test script, test log, incident report and test design. Option C is correct because a Technical Test Analyst operates at the execution layer: they write test scripts (often automated), record results in a test log, raise incident reports when defects are found, and produce test designs that specify technical approaches.

Explanation

Option C is correct because a Technical Test Analyst operates at the execution layer: they write test scripts (often automated), record results in a test log, raise incident reports when defects are found, and produce test designs that specify technical approaches. These four documents map directly to their hands-on, technical responsibilities during test execution.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A includes test plan, which belongs to the Test Manager, not the Technical Test Analyst - same problem with B, which also adds test summary report, another Test Manager deliverable.
  • D includes test item transmittal report, a formal handoff document owned by the Test Manager, making it incorrect for this role regardless of the other items.

Memory tip: Think of the Technical Test Analyst as the "do-er" - they Script it, Log it, Report incidents, and Design the technical approach (SLRD). Any document with "Plan," "Summary," or "Transmittal" in the name signals managerial responsibility and belongs to the Test Manager, not this role.
