According to the syllabus, test design is the activity of deriving and specifying test cases from test conditions to test software. Test design involves processes such as identifying test data, designing test scenarios, creating test procedures, and defining expected results. The answer A is correct because it is an example of a task most associated with the test design activity. Test data, derived from production data, is developed for use during testing. The other answers are incorrect because they are examples of tasks associated with other test activities, such as test planning (B), test implementation ©, and test monitoring and control (D).
