Chapter 6: Test Tools

An organization is updating test cases for a particular software module.

Sam updated a set of test cases yesterday and saved the new version on his PC.

Unfortunately, his PC’s hard disk crashed, and the work was lost.

The organization’s IT department restored the hard-disk contents using the latest available backup—from the previous morning. However, the changes he made yesterday were lost permanently.

Which of the following tools, if it had been used, would have prevented the loss of Sam’s updates?

  • A Incident Management Tool
  • B Configuration Management Tool
  • C Backup tool
  • D Test Execution tool
Explanation

A configuration management tool stores and controls versions of test cases in a shared repository. Its version history and centralized storage allow updated testware to be retrieved even if an individual PC or its local disk fails.
