You are testing a task, found a bug. The developer says 'it's not a bug, it's a feature'. What will you do?

If a developer says that the observed behavior is not a bug, but a feature, you should:
- Politely clarify whether there is documentation or requirements that describe this behavior as expected.
- Suggest reviewing the specifications or technical requirements together to understand if the behavior meets the requirements.
- If documentation is absent or unclear, propose to document this behavior as a question for discussion with the team or product manager.
- If the behavior is indeed documented as a feature, accept it but record it in the test documentation to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
The main thing is to maintain a constructive dialogue and aim for mutual understanding, rather than insisting on your correctness without evidence.
