You have identified existing test cases that require re-factoring, Which is the NEXT task you should perform?

SELECT ONE OPTION

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

After identifying test cases that require refactoring, the next task is to analyze the impact of the current iteration's functionality on the existing regression tests. This involves assessing how the new changes will affect the tests and determining if the tests still cover the necessary aspects of the software. The goal is to ensure that the regression tests remain relevant and effective in light of the recent changes made to the application.

Reference= The ISTQB Advanced Level Agile Technical Tester syllabus and related materials emphasize the importance of maintaining the relevance and effectiveness of regression tests throughout the development iterations, which includes analyzing the impact of new functionalities on existing tests12.
