During the system testing phase of a software-implementation project, the QA team uncovers several functional problems in the product deliverables. These problems must be documented, prioritized, and tracked until they are corrected and retested. Which project-management tool should the project manager use to record and monitor these defects?
The defect log is the appropriate tool for recording, tracking, and managing problems found in project deliverables during testing. It specifically focuses on defects or bugs that need to be fixed to meet quality standards. The change log records approved changes to the project scope, schedule, or cost, not issues with deliverables. The issue log is used to document and track general project issues that require attention but may not be related to product defects. The risk register is used to identify and manage potential risks that could impact the project, not actual defects found during testing.
