as polite, constructive and helpful as possible firm about insisting that a bug is not a "feature" if it should be fixed diplomatic, sensitive to the way they may react to criticism All of the above

26) In which order should tests be run? *

the most important tests first the most difficult tests first(to allow maximum time for fixing) the easiest tests first(to give initial confidence) the order they are thought of

27) The later in the development life cycle a fault is discovered, the more expensive it is to fix. Why? *

the documentation is poor, so it takes longer to find out what the software is doing wages are rising the fault has been built into more documentation, code, tests, etc none of the above
