Using the KeepMoving Test Plan above, you'll notice that Test Case ID #4 Failed. What is the best course of action to take next? (2 points) Responses The defect is major and critical to the app functioning. Therefore, developers should push an update to users that disables the app until the issue is resolved. The defect is major and critical to the app functioning. Therefore, developers should push an update to users that disables the app until the issue is resolved. The defect is major, but not critical to the app functioning. Therefore, it should be listed as a moderate defect, but given high priority. The defect is major, but not critical to the app functioning. Therefore, it should be listed as a moderate defect, but given high priority. The defect is not major or critical to the app functioning. Therefore, developers should remove the function from the app entirely to avoid issues in the future. The defect is not major or critical to the app functioning. Therefore, developers should remove the function from the app entirely to avoid issues in the future. The defect is not major or critical to the app functioning. Therefore, it should be listed as a minor defect and given a moderate priority.

To determine the best course of action after Test Case ID #4 failed, it is essential to evaluate the severity and impact of the defect on the app's functionality. Given the options provided, the most appropriate response would depend on whether the defect is classified as major and critical or just major but not critical.
1. **If the defect is indeed major and critical to the app functioning**, it warrants immediate action. However, **disabling the app entirely may not be the best course of action** unless it poses significant risks to users or data security. Instead, a more measured approach involving a rapid response to fix the defect and communicate with users about a forthcoming update would typically be preferable.
2. If **the defect is major but not critical**, it is important to address it promptly but without immediately disabling the app. Instead, it could be classified as a moderate defect and prioritized for a fix.
3. **If the defect is not major or critical**, removing the function entirely could be an overreaction. It’s better to categorize it as a minor defect and schedule a fix accordingly.
Based on these considerations, the best course of action would be:
**"The defect is major but not critical to the app functioning. Therefore, it should be listed as a moderate defect, but given high priority."**
This approach allows developers to address the defect effectively while ensuring that the app remains functional for users.
