While performing system testing, you have discovered what you believe to be a defect.

Incident logging and reporting is an important part of incident management, as it helps to document the incident details, communicate the incident status, and analyze the incident causes and impacts1. One of the steps in incident logging and reporting is to identify and log any new risks that have surfaced as a result of the incident2. This helps to assess the severity and priority of the incident, as well as to plan for risk mitigation and contingency actions3. Debugging the code and updating the test automation are not part of incident logging and reporting, but rather part of incident resolution and recovery4. None is not a valid answer, as there is always room for improvement in incident management5.
