A team has a large, complex model with thousands of possible test cases. They want to use their MBT tool to automatically reduce the test suite to a manageable size while still achieving branch coverage. What is the primary role of the MBT tool in this scenario?

Automatically applying the branch coverage criterion to select a minimal subset of test cases

Replacing the need for any test selection criteria

Manually reviewing each test case to determine its value

Generating all possible test cases without any reduction

Which metric is commonly used to assess the adequacy of selected test cases in terms of exercising the model's structure?

The number of testers on the team

The execution time of the test suite

Structural coverage, such as branch coverage percentage

The number of defects found in the previous release

What is a common way to document that a test case covers a specific functional requirement?

By placing the test case at the beginning of the test suite

By assigning a unique identifier to the test case and linking it to the requirement ID

By naming the test case after the tester who created it

By ensuring the test case uses the maximum number of input values

A team is testing a model of a user registration form. The model has a decision point with the condition `age >= 18 AND country == 'US'`. The team wants to achieve both high structural coverage and thorough data coverage. They plan to combine branch coverage with boundary value analysis. Which statement best describes the benefit of this combined approach?

It ensures every possible combination of input values is tested.

It focuses only on the most critical paths in the model.

It ensures both the true and false outcomes of the decision are tested, and also tests the edge values of the age input.

It eliminates the need for any other selection criteria.
