When would a test result be NOT TESTED?

• A. The Trusted Tester process does not provide a way to evaluate some Test Conditions
• B. Lack of testing tool
• C. Time constraints
• D. The site is not accessible

Answer: (A)

Not tested happens when the testing framework itself doesn’t provide a way to evaluate a given condition. If the Trusted Tester process has no defined method, metric, or procedure to measure or observe that condition, testers can’t complete the assessment to determine whether it passes or fails. In that situation, marking the result as Not Tested reflects a gap in the process rather than a pass or fail outcome. Other blockers like missing tools, limited time, or an unreachable site can prevent testing from being carried out, but Not Tested specifically arises from a lack of an evaluation method within the process itself.
