Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the status of a bug that is deemed invalid?

   Hint

3. 3.

   What does the 'Rejected' state signify?

   • The bug is invalid
   • The bug will be fixed later
   • The bug already exists

   Hint

   Think about what happens when a bug cannot be confirmed.

4. 4.

   Is 'Deferred' a positive state for a bug?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

5. 5.

6. 6.
