Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Check the test logs for specific errors
Checking the test logs for specific errors is the first step in troubleshooting a failed pipeline. It provides detailed information about what went wrong during the test stage. Option A is incorrect because re-running the pipeline without investigating the failure is unlikely to fix the underlying issue and wastes time. Option B is incorrect because increasing the timeout does not address the root cause of the failure; it only delays the timeout, which may not be the problem. Option C is incorrect because rolling back should be done only after understanding the failure and deciding to revert, not as a first step.
