You need to implement a Java class that validates a password entry field. The validation critena states that the password must:1. be a minimum of 8 characters2 contain at least one special character.You are focusing on validation criterion 1 and have written a test class that checks that a 7 character password entry will fail validation.You have written code designed to make this test class pass, however, on first execution of the test class it has failedWhat should you do next9SELECT ONE OPTION

You are working on a project to develop an application that allows users to collaborate via bespoke, online whiteboards. The first release, delivering core functionality, highlighted misunderstandings of the user stories between testers, developers and the product owner during sprint development Since that release, the developers have agreed to implement a TDD approach for future software development.Creation of the product backlog for the second release is underway and you have recommended to the project stakeholders that an atdd approach be adopted for the backlog's user stories.
