Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A.
This testing practice ensures that all development activities are subject to quality control, aligning with the principle that testing should be integrated throughout the SDLC.
B.
This is NOT a good testing practice. Instead, best practices advocate for distinct and specific objectives for each test level to avoid redundancy and ensure comprehensive testing.
C.
Starting test analysis and design during the corresponding development phase adheres to the principle of early testing and is explicitly stated as a good practice.
