Which of the following test types is most likely being performed?

During testing of a mobile banking application, traceability matrices are defined and maintained between test cases and user stories. This task is supported by a test management tool. Testing is expected to report on the coverage level of the implemented and tested user stories.

Which of the following test types is most likely being performed?
A . Functional correctness testing
B . Functional appropriateness testing
C . Functional completeness testing
D . Interoperability testing

Answer: C

Explanation:

Functional completeness testing is a type of testing that verifies that all the user stories or requirements are implemented and tested according to the acceptance criteria. Traceability matrices are used to track the relationship between test cases and user stories, and to measure the test coverage of the user stories. Functional completeness testing is different from functional correctness testing, which checks if the system behaves correctly according to the specifications; functional appropriateness testing, which checks if the system provides functions that meet the user needs and expectations; and interoperability testing, which checks if the system can interact with other systems or components.
