Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 230

A project manager is reviewing some techniques that can be used to evaluate solution results. The intent is to determine if the solution provides the functionality for typical usage by a stakeholder with in-depth business knowledge.

Which evaluation technique is most effective for this situation?

Answer options

• A. Integration testing
• B. Exploratory testing
• C. User acceptance testing
• D. Day-in-the-life testing

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Day-in-the-life testing is best suited for this scenario as it simulates the daily activities of a user, ensuring the solution aligns with their typical tasks and requirements. Integration testing focuses on how different components work together, exploratory testing assesses the application without predefined test cases, and user acceptance testing verifies if the solution meets the business requirements but may not be as comprehensive in everyday context.
