(B) what Impact ratIngs have you used In your
projects?
Normally, the impact ratings for defects are classified into three types:
Minor: Very low impact but does not affect operations on a
large scale.
Major: Affects operations on a very large scale.
Critical: Brings the system to a halt and stops the show.

(B) what Is a test log?
The IEEE Std. 829-1998 defines a test log as a chronological record of relevant
details about the execution of test cases. It’s a detailed view of activity and
events given in chronological manner. The following figure shows a test log
and is followed by a sample test log.
