Which of the following statements best characterises maintenance testing? [K2]

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Maintenance testing is conducted on the software after it has been delivered to address any issues or changes required due to defects, environment changes, or new requirements. The ISTQB syllabus explains that maintenance testing typically involves impact analysis to determine the extent of regression testing required, thus optimizing the testing effort and focusing on affected areas.

Ah, D sounds like it's describing something more like software upgrades or platform migrations, not regular maintenance testing.

C is interesting, but I don't think the test environment is the primary trigger for maintenance testing. That's more of a development concern.

Option B seems a bit off. Maintenance testing is for the delivered software, not the software under development.

I think option A is the correct answer. Maintenance testing is all about minimizing the impact of changes to the delivered software through targeted regression testing.
