   How does configuration management support traceability between requirements, code, and tests?

   • ABy ensuring that all tests are executed in the same order as the requirements
   • BBy versioning and linking configuration items so that the relationship between a requirement, the code implementing it, and the tests verifying it can be established
   • CBy storing all requirements, code, and tests in a single file
   • DBy automatically generating test cases from requirements using AI

   Why is it important to identify test data as a configuration item in agile testing?

   • ABecause test data must be stored in the same repository as the source code
   • BBecause test data can influence test results and must be controlled to ensure repeatable and reliable testing

   A team using a two-week sprint has just completed a feature. The product owner requests a change to the user interface that will affect three existing test cases. The team uses a version control system for both code and test assets. What is the most appropriate first action for the testers to take?

   • ACreate a new branch for the UI change, update the three test cases on that branch, and merge them only after the code change is accepted.
   • BAsk the product owner to postpone the change until the next sprint so the current test cases remain valid.
   • CUpdate the three test cases immediately to reflect the new UI, then commit them to the same branch as the code change.
   • DDelete the three existing test cases and write new ones from scratch after the code change is complete.

   A team is using a configuration management tool that tracks changes to code and test scripts. However, they are not linking test cases to user stories in the tool. As a result, when a story changes, they cannot easily identify which test cases are affected. What is the most effective way to improve this situation?

   • AEstablish a link between user stories and test cases in the CM tool.
   • BCreate a new test case for every story change.
   • CRequire testers to manually review all test cases when a story changes.
   • DUse a separate spreadsheet to track which test cases are affected by each story.
