Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Writing test summary reports is typically the responsibility of a test leader or manager, who consolidates testing activities and results to communicate with stakeholders. Testers are more involved in preparing and acquiring test data, setting up and checking the test environment, and reviewing tests developed by others. These tasks are more hands-on and technical, aligning with the role of a tester .

Hmm, I'm gonna go with C. Writing test summary reports seems like a task that would be done by the test leader, not the tester.

I think the correct answer is D. Reviewing tests developed by others is more of a test leader's responsibility, not a tester's.
