Which statement does not describe testing responsibilities for Developers?

• A. Creating and executing tests as part of the Sprint
• B. Participating in test planning and review with the Scrum Team
• C. Ensuring all test cases created at Sprint planning have been passed
• D. Collaborating with Developers to verify product increments

Answer: (C)

Testing within Scrum is a team activity where Developers are responsible for building quality into the Increment. They create and run tests during the Sprint, and they participate in test planning and review with the Scrum Team. They also collaborate with others to verify the product increment, ensuring it aligns with the acceptance criteria and the Definition of Done. However, stating that Developers must ensure all test cases created at Sprint planning have been passed describes an absolute guarantee that isn’t how testing works in Scrum. Tests can be added, adjusted, or even temporarily failing as issues are discovered and fixed within the Sprint. The goal is to deliver a Done, potentially shippable Increment that meets the agreed criteria, not to guarantee every test case passes without exception.
