1: Lack of communication: Communication is the key aspect of all kinds of businesses. The tech industry is the place where both living and non-living things have the potential to communicate, lack of communication impacts businesses on various levels. 2: Missing / no documentation/ insufficient requirements: Requirements in software testing refer to the specifications and expectations the client and stakeholders set out. These requirements typically include the expected outcomes,timeline, budget,level of QA needed, important factors relating to software product development. Requirements should be clearly communicated & agreed upon btw all stakeholders before beginning dev, as they are critical for the successful implementation of a project.

Carefully investigate why the test results are inconsistent Keep the client informed about the issues as soon as they're identified Replicate the discrepancies consistently in different environments to understand the root cause Clarify any ambiguities or assumptions from the client that might lead to different expectations Focus on resolving the most critical discrepancies that directly impact the client's objectives Work closely with developers and other team members to quickly resolve bugs or misalignments between the test results and expected outcomes

For meeting client expectations we should do following things: 1) Communicating with client as soon as discrepancies found 2) Keeping transparent communication with client 3) Gather insights , analyse all the discrepancies found 4) Investigation of differences found in testing and test results thoroughly 5) Involve client and take help of them to understand clear expectations 6) Make changes basis on analysis done 7) Do test again and evaluation of testing reports 8) Do documentation part & reviews from client 9) Schedule periodically reviews to understand more about the expectations

To address discrepancies in test results and meet client expectations effectively, start by thoroughly investigating the issues to identify their root causes. Communicate transparently with the client about the problems and your plan to resolve them. Collaborate with your team to correct the discrepancies and re-run the tests to ensure accuracy. Provide regular updates to the client, highlighting the steps taken and any changes made. Finally, implement measures to prevent similar issues in the future, such as improving test case design or enhancing test environments. By being proactive, transparent, and solution-focused, you can rebuild trust and align with client expectations.
