Many times a tester can reopen the bug? i said until the bug is resolved.. but the interviewer doe..

Answer / aastha

There can be three scenarios:-
1) the tester is still getting the bug again and again. In that case your answer is quite right, we can reopen the bug as many times as required.
2) If the bug has gone to deferred state ,may be it is going for a release later, then we cann't re-open it again and again.it doesn't make sense right.
3)If the QA Lead has rejected it at all, it is not a bug altogeher, then also we cann't re-open the bug.

Answer / aastha

If you are re-opening a bug again and again , that means it is not getting fixed and the things are getting back to square one. So how could such an application can be called as Good.If the same bug is getting reopened say 10 times, it is not at all a nicely developed application.yes your testing is good enough but it is a waste of time and effort to test such application.

@Aastha, thanks for your answer.. Can u tell me in numbers
how many times i can reopen a bug... because interviewer
said "if u open many times eg. 10 times, we can say that the
application is good na"..
