Question

Options

• ADescription: Boundary value not correctly implemented
• BDescription: Boundary value not correctly implemented for bonus
• CDescription: Boundary value not correctly implemented for bonus (line 26: 10 according to design,
• DDescription: Boundary value not correctly implemented for bonus

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  12% (5)
• C
  80% (33)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

Option C is correct because a high-quality incident report must be specific, reproducible, and actionable - it names the exact feature ("bonus"), identifies the precise location ("line 26"), and states both the actual and expected values ("10 according to design"), giving developers everything they need to locate and fix the defect without guessing.

• Option A fails because it is too vague - it doesn't mention which feature ("bonus") is affected, making it nearly useless for triage or reproduction.
• Option B improves on A by naming the feature, but still lacks location and expected-vs-actual detail, so a developer must hunt for the problem.
• Option D appears identical to B in the truncated choices - it names the feature but omits the critical line number and value information that makes C superior.

Memory tip: Think of a good incident report like a GPS address - the more specific the coordinates (feature + location + expected value), the faster someone can arrive at the bug. "Boundary value wrong" is like saying "somewhere in Europe"; "line 26, expected 10" is the exact street address.
