Which of the following statements about traceability is FALSE?
A.
Traceability between test basis items and the test cases designed to cover them, makes it possible to determine which test basis items have been covered by the executed test cases.
B.
Traceability between test basis items and the test cases designed to cover them, enables experience-based test techniques to be applied
C.
Traceability between test basis items and the test cases designed to cover them, enables identification of which test cases will be affected by changes to the test basis items.
D.
Traceability can be established and maintained through all the test documentation for a given test level, such as from test conditions through test cases to test scripts.
Traceability primarily refers to the ability to link test cases back to their sources in the test basis, such as requirements or design documents. This linkage allows for the determination of coverage, impact analysis, and maintaining consistency across test documentation. However, traceability does not directly enable the application of experience-based test techniques, which are more about using the tester's intuition and experience. The ISTQB CTFL Syllabus v4.0 does not state that traceability enables experience-based techniques, making option B the false statement.
