Question 330
A tester is asked to evaluate the following situation: An ERP is partially retired and a data export process is introduced, but test planning excludes archival integrity because no new user interface was built. Which observation best verifies that the stated testing issue is addressed?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the expected verification outcome: Sampled records match source data and authorized auditors can retrieve the archive. It directly checks the corrective activity (Verify completeness, correctness and accessibility of the exported records as part of retirement maintenance testing.) for the described testing problem.
Incorrect Answers
This result may validate another testing scenario: A tax application migrates tax rules to a newer runtime and the test team tests only newly added features, ignoring old filings that may now calculate differently. It does not establish the required result for this case: Sampled records match source data and authorized auditors can retrieve the archive.
This result may validate another testing scenario: A public portal is moved from one cloud region to another without code changes and fails because the new region lacks a required message queue. It does not establish the required result for this case: Sampled records match source data and authorized auditors can retrieve the archive.
This result may validate another testing scenario: An insurance team executes code-based branch tests exclusively and overlooks a legally required policy exception absent from the implementation. It does not establish the required result for this case: Sampled records match source data and authorized auditors can retrieve the archive.
