Which of the following BEST describes how configuration management supports the test process?

According to the syllabus, configuration management is a process that establishes and maintains the consistency of a product’s attributes throughout its life cycle. It involves identifying, controlling, tracking, and auditing changes to the product’s components and documentation. Configuration management supports the test process by enabling the tester to reproduce the tested item through unique identification and version control. This ensures that the tester knows exactly what has been tested and can trace any defects or incidents to the correct version of the software under test. The answer A is correct because it best describes how configuration management supports the test process. The other answers are incorrect because they describe other aspects of testing that are not directly related to configuration management.
