Delayed Testing Due To new Issues
During testing, there is a good chance that some “new” defects may be identified and may become an issue that will take time to resolve.
There are defects that can be raised during testing because of unclear document specification. These defects can yield to an issue that will need time to be resolved.
If these issues become showstoppers, it will greatly impact on the overall project schedule.
If new defects are discovered, the defect management and issue management procedures are in place to immediately provide a resolution.
