According to Trusted Tester 20A: Parsing, what is stated about its testing status?

• A. Not Tested, since manual testing is too complex for this requirement, so a testing tool is needed for it.
• B. Fully tested by manual testing only.
• C. Only automated testing is used for parsing.
• D. Parsing is optional and may be tested later.

Answer: (B)

In Trusted Tester 20A for Parsing, the testing status is described as fully tested by manual testing only. This means testers validate parsing behavior through hands-on evaluation—feeding diverse inputs, edge cases, and real-world scenarios to ensure the system interprets input as expected. Parsing often requires human judgment to catch subtleties automated checks might miss, so manual testing is used to achieve complete coverage. The other options aren’t a fit because they imply no testing, automated-only testing, or that testing could be delayed, none of which align with the stated approach that manual testing fully covers parsing.
