The correct answer isC.Conduct pre-test interviews to give instructions to the users, and post-test interviews to get their feedback.

Pre-test and post-test interviews

Pre-test and post-test interviews are methods of usability testing that involve communicating with the business users before and after they test the application. Pre-test interviews can help to explain the purpose and scope of the test, provide instructions and guidance, and establish rapport with the users.Post-test interviews can help to collect feedback, opinions, and suggestions from the users, as well as identify any issues or problems they encountered during the test1.

In a keyword-driven test automation approach, the Test Analyst is responsible for defining the keywords that represent the actions and expected outcomes of the test cases. The keywords are then implemented by a developer or a tool as reusable functions or scripts that can be executed by the test automation framework. For example, the Test Analyst can define keywords such as “transfer”, “check balance”, “verify balance”, etc. for the account transfer user story. These keywords can then be used to design test cases in a data-driven or table-driven format, such as:

Classification trees are a visual way of identifying test objects and data, and pairwise testing is a technique of generating test cases that cover all possible pairs of values from different classifications. Classification trees support pairwise testing by:

• Helping to identify inputs to be used by the pairwise test technique, as each class represents a possible value for a test parameter.
• Showing the combinations needed to cover all-pairs, as each test case is a selection of one class from each classification.
• Helping to identify particular combinations of interest, as the test engineer can use the tree structure to group or prioritize classes based on their relevance or risk. References = ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst Syllabus 2019, section 3.2.3; Smarter Test Design with Classification Trees and Pairwise Techniques, slides 6-12.
