You are an IT software tester in an Agile scrum team. You have been testing the product for several iterations.

Part A :

You notice that the error message format and text is consistent. When it asks the user to enter the DD-MM-YYYY format, and if the user enters MM-DD-YYYY, the error message will say: Enter the MM-DD-YYYY format. What would you do? (6 marks)

Part B

Your colleague who is another tester for connectivity (of the same software) tells you that each time when the user has entered more than 100 characters in main reporting field, the network connection will break resulting in loss of data. He says he will report this at the end of the project because other bits related to printing may be affected as well and its good to wait till the end. How would you rectify this and why?
