• Question 64:

  Which of the following statements about test automation is CORRECT?

  A. When using data-driven testing, testers create and store test inputs separately from the test script allowing the same test script to be run with different data sets

  B. Test management tools should not interface with other testing tools as they are only required for use by the test manager

  C. When performing automated static analysis, warning messages that do not stop the code from being compiled and translated into an executable program, should be ignored
