Which of the following BEST describes how configuration management supports the test process?
Configuration management supports the test process by enabling the tester to reproduce the tested item through unique identification and version control. This ensures that all test items and testware are uniquely identified, version controlled, and changes are tracked and related to one another. This is essential for maintaining integrity and traceability throughout the testing process.
5.4 Configuration Management The purpose of configuration management is to establish and maintain the integrity of the component or system, the testware, and their relationships to one another through the project and product lifecycle. To properly support testing, configuration management may involve ensuring the following: All test items are uniquely identified, version controlled, tracked for changes, and related to each other All items of testware are uniquely identified, version controlled, tracked for changes, related to each other and related to versions of the test item(s) so that traceability can be maintained throughout the test process All identified documents and software items are referenced unambiguously in test documentation
