What is the primary purpose of using test tools in a software testing process?

To replace the need for test documentation

To guarantee that all defects are found

To eliminate the need for human testers

To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of testing activities

What is the primary purpose of a monitoring tool in performance testing?

To generate test cases from requirements

To analyze source code for potential defects

To track defects and their status

To observe system behavior and resource usage during tests
