Explanation

Testing is a mandatory component of any valid "Definition of Done" (DoD). In Agile and Scrum frameworks, the DoD is a shared agreement that defines the criteria a work item must meet before it can be considered complete - and testing is universally recognized as a non-negotiable part of that criteria. Without testing, there is no way to verify that the increment is functional, meets acceptance criteria, or is free of regressions.

Why A (False) is wrong: Marking testing as optional in the DoD opens the door to shipping untested code, which directly violates the Agile principle of delivering a potentially releasable increment. Skipping testing as a DoD requirement undermines quality and the team's ability to inspect and adapt reliably.

Memory tip: Think of DoD as a "quality gate" - you can't pass through the gate without a test stamp. If it hasn't been tested, it isn't done, it's just developed.
