Answer: B
Base case system evaluation uses test data sets developed as
part of comprehensive testing programs. It is used to verify
correct systems operations before acceptance, as well as
periodic validation. Test data/deck simulates transactions
through real programs. An ITF creates fictitious files in
the database with test transactions processed simultaneously
with live input. Parallel simulation is the production of
data processed using computer programs that simulate
application program logic.
