Software Testers in a software development company installed the new release on test systems and started the testing phase. Testers verified the new functionality, performed necessary security testing and completed planned regression tests. During the last week of testing, testers noticed that the memory utilization was more than 95% on two of the test servers (out of 4 servers). This behavior was not observed during the first weeks of the testing phase. As a test analyst, what would you do?

Report the problem to the developer immediately and create a defect report because it could be a problem related to memory leak.

Ignore the problem because other two servers are okay (memory utilization is normal)

Report the problem to the developer immediately and create a defect report because it could be a problem related to memory leak.

Reboot the system so that memory utilization will come back to normal. Not report it as a problem.

Create a defect report and reboot the system to correct the memory problem.

You and two junior testers have been assigned to a new project qualification by your manager.Development of the code started two weeks ago and now you are invited to attend a code review meeting by development manager. Meeting agenda is to cover following items.# Verify code compliance to coding standards# Verify comment usage frequency# Review number of function calls# Review logical decision points in the applicationWhat is the purpose of this meeting?

Perform a Static Analysis of the code with the intention of finding bugs early.

Explain the testers how the program should work.

Get an agreement to release the partially completed software to the testing department.

Explain the complexity of the code.

Integrated Solutions Inc. is a software testing company with 20 testers. One of their clients provided a software release and requested to test the software within 2 weeks. The client did not provide any specifications of the software or any documentation. However, Integrated Solutions Inc. testers have tested similar releases from the same client in the past. As a Senior Software Tester, what is your best approach?

Test the product using "Defect and Experienced Based" techniques like error guessing, exploratory and attacks.

Explain the client why you cannot test the software.

Test only performance of the software.
