I'm going to have to go with D on this one. Debugging is like telling the developer 'Here, you fix this mess!' and that's not what testing is all about.

D has got to be the right answer. Debugging is something developers do, not testers. We just report the bugs, we don't fix them!

I'm going with C. Preventing defects is more of a development objective, not a testing one. Testing is about finding, not preventing, defects.

A and C seem like the obvious answers, but I'm not sure about B. Isn't gaining confidence about quality a key part of testing?

I think the answer is D. Debugging defects is not a testing objective, it's a separate process that comes after testing.

I think preventing defects is not the main objective because testing is more about finding and fixing them.
