Why do we need to locate the array after identifying variables?

Definitely need to map the problem before constructing cases.

I believe the correct order starts with identifying the variables, but I can't recall if we should locate the orthogonal array before or after mapping the test problem.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I feel like mapping the test problem comes after determining the choices.

Okay, I got this. The key is to identify the variables first, then map the test problem onto the orthogonal array.

Ah, I've used the "Manage Old Data" screen before, so I'm pretty confident I know the answer. It's about deleting old artifacts, logs, and backups that are no longer needed.

I'm a little unsure about the specifics, but I know Financial Reporting is more flexible than just generating reports. I'll have to think this through.

Wait, what? Orthogonal arrays? Is this some kind of secret pairwise testing club I wasn't invited to? I'll just go with whatever makes the most sense.

Haha, option A looks like it's trying to 'mix things up' a bit too much. I'll stick with the more traditional approach, thank you very much!

I'm going with B. It just feels more logical to me - start with the variables, then figure out the array, and build the cases last. Easy peasy!
