Which of the following statements is NOT true about Configuration management and software testing?

AConfiguration management helps maintain consistent versions of software artifacts.

CWhen testers report defects, they need to reference version-controlled items.

DVersion controlled test ware increases the chances of finding defects in the software under test.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

While configuration management is crucial for maintaining consistent versions of software artifacts and supporting the build process, it does not directly increase the chances of finding defects in the software under test. Version-controlled test ware ensures that the correct versions of test cases and other test artifacts are used, but it is the quality and thoroughness of the tests that determine the effectiveness of defect detection.
