Answer: C
Interface testing is a hardware or software test that
evaluates the connection of two or more components that pass
information from one area to another. Pilot testing is a
preliminary test that focuses on specific and predetermined
aspects of a system and is not meant to replace other
methods. Parallel testing is the process of feeding test
data into two systems-the modified system and an alternative
system-and comparing the results. Regression testing is the
process of rerunning a portion of a test scenario or test
plan to ensure that changes or corrections have not
introduced new errors. The data used in regression testing
is the same as the data used in the original test.
