Case Study: A retail company, 'ShopFast', has adopted Scrum for its new e-commerce platform. The team consists of 5 developers, 2 testers, 1 product owner, and 1 scrum master. In sprint 3, the team worked on a user story to implement a new discount coupon feature. During the sprint review, the product owner applies a 15% discount coupon, and the final price is calculated incorrectly. A developer investigates and finds that the logic for percentage-based calculations was flawed. The team's 'Definition of Done' includes 'Unit tests passed with 85% code coverage' and 'All acceptance criteria manually verified by a tester'. The acceptance criteria for the story did not specify tests for percentage-based discounts, only for fixed-amount discounts. Based on the whole-team approach to quality, what was the most significant failure that led to this defect escaping to the sprint review?
