Chapter 5: Managing the Test Activities

Which statement best explains how configuration management supports testing?

  • A Configuration management helps reduce testing effort by identifying a manageable number of test environment configurations in which to test the software, out of all possible configurations of the environment in which the software will be released.
  • B Configuration management is an administrative discipline that includes change control, which is the process of controlling the changes to identified items referred to as ‘Configuration Items’.
  • C Configuration management is an approach to interoperability testing where tests are executed in the cloud, as the cloud can provide cost-effective access to multiple configurations of the test environments.
  • D Configuration management helps ensure that all relevant project documentation and software items are uniquely identified in all their versions and therefore can be unambiguously referenced in test documentation.
Explanation

Configuration management uniquely identifies and controls the versions of relevant project documentation and software items. This enables test documentation to reference the exact items and versions unambiguously.
