D . Main ISTQB downside is devs lose ownership of quality when testing's handed off too much.
Makes sense to pick D here, that's the classic ISTQB angle.
D. seen similar on exam reports. ISTQB likes to call out loss of developer ownership when testers are totally separate.
D imo, because when testing is done independently, devs might start thinking quality's not really their problem. I think that's the main disadvantage ISTQB is pointing at here instead of things about speed or overlap.
Option B
Probably D, since ISTQB often considers loss of developer responsibility for quality the key disadvantage. B feels like a trap option.
C/D? ISTQB usually expects D since loss of developer responsibility is a textbook risk, but if independent testers are really slow in a given context, C could technically apply too. Tricky wording, I lean D based on the syllabus.
D That’s what ISTQB usually wants, devs not owning quality as much when independent testers step in. Limited comms (B) happens but isn’t flagged as the main risk in their materials. If anyone reads it differently, lemme know.
D stands out because if testing is always seen as 'someone else’s job,' devs might slack off on quality. I’ve seen ISTQB mention this risk before. Not 100% but fits best in their context, right?
Its B, not D. Limited communication can make handovers harder and lead to missed context.
