Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

This is an effective method to employ business users in your testing effort because it allows them to leverage their domain knowledge and experience without requiring them to have technical skills or testing tools. Test charters are high-level descriptions of the test objectives, scope, and approach that guide the testers to explore the system and report any issues they find. Test charters are flexible and can be adapted to different test levels and types.They are also suitable for the V-model development lifecycle, which emphasizes verification and validation at each stage of the development process1
