NEW QUESTION 23

A test management tool is most likely to integrate with which of the following tools?

• A. Performance testing tool
• B. Test data preparation tool
• C. Static analysis tool
• D. Requirements management tool

Answer: D

Explanation:
Requirements management tools (option (D)) often have interfaces with test management tools. In some cases they will be sold as a package or in other cases a test management tool may have its own requirements module. The use of such interfaces or integrated packages aids traceability from requirements through to test scripts and defects.
Performance management tools (option (A)), test data preparation tools (option (B)) and static analysis tools (option (C)) are unlikely to have an interface or be integrated with a test management tool. They serve different purposes and therefore there is little need for such interfaces.
