Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
A.
This option describes the role of Testing, not Quality Assurance. Testing is focused on examining the product to identify and correct defects, whereas QA is more concerned with improving processes.
B.
This is the correct answer. In QA, test results provide feedback on the effectiveness of the processes being followed. By analyzing these results, QA can assess whether processes are helping achieve the desired quality and can identify areas for improvement.
C.
This is incorrect because creating test cases is part of test design, which falls under test planning and Testing, not directly QA.
D.
This option does not relate to the purpose of QA. Task assignment is an aspect of test management rather than a specific QA activity aimed at evaluating process performance.
