During the TAR process, which phase are you in if you are performing final checks to ensure the site meets requirements?

• A. Development
• B. Delivery and Maintenance
• C. Planning
• D. Testing

Answer: (D)

Final validation and verification happen in the Testing phase. This stage is all about checking that the site actually meets the requirements and works as intended through QA activities, such as functional testing, usability checks, compatibility across browsers and devices, accessibility, and performance assessments. It’s the last checkpoint before deployment, ensuring any gaps or defects are caught and addressed so the final product aligns with what was requested.

The other phases aren’t about those final checks: Planning defines what will be built, and Development is where the features are created. Delivery and Maintenance comes after testing, focusing on deploying the site and keeping it supported and updated.
