| 3 | Q3: Why can be tester dependent on configuration management? A Because configuration management assures that we know the exact version of the testware and the test object B Because test execution is not allowed to proceed without the consent of the change control board C Because changes in the test object are always subject to configuration management D Because configuration management assures the right configuration of the test tools Click here for answer Correct Answer : a Explanation: In software engineering, software configuration management (SCM) is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software. SCM include revision control and the establishment of baselines. If something goes wrong, SCM can determine what was changed and who changed it. If a configuration is working well, SCM can determine how to replicate it across many hosts. A tester is dependent on configuration management since, the configuration management process tracks and controls the changes in software. From tester's point of view: (a) Configuration management allows the testers to manage their testware and test results. (b) The build process which is responsible for the delivery of test release into test environment is also subject to configuration management. (c) Configuration management allows the testers to map what is being tested to the underlying files and components. (d) During the test execution time , the proper configuration management will help the teams in avoiding surprises such as wrong software version being tested. |
