Question 3

+5 marksOne correct option

Which of the following options best describes the difference between test requirements and test cases?

  1. A

    Test requirements define specific input values, while test cases define test objectives.

  2. B

    Test requirements represent the required coverage criteria, whereas test cases define an execution to satisfy one or more of those requirements.

  3. C

    Test requirements are created after executing test cases to measure test effectiveness.

  4. D

    Test cases and test requirements are interchangeable terms used at different stages of the testing process.
