First, restating the scenario helps set the context: you’re dealing with a test table where we compare expected results to actual results to determine if a feature works as intended.
Option a: 'the expected result is the same as the actual result.' This aligns with typical software testing practice: a test passes when the observed (actual) outcome matches what was predicted (the expected result). Thus this statement correctly describes the criterion for deeming a feature to be working correctly in this context.
Option b: 'the test data is the same as the expected result.' This is not a standard criterion for success in a test table. Test data and expected results serve different roles: input versus the anticipated outcome. Claiming they should be the same confuses inputs with outputs and undermines the purpose of validating behavior.
Option c: 'the test is the same as the test data.' This is illogical in testing terminology. A test is a procedure, not a data item itself, and equating the test to the data does not describe how we judge correctness between expected and actual outcomes.
Option d: 'the actual result is the same as the test data.' This mixes up the relationship between actual results and data inputs. The test data is what you feed into the system, while the actual result is what you observe. Saying they should be the same misunderstands the validation goal, which is matching actual results to expected results, not to the input data.
In summary, option a correctly captures the criterion for declaring a feature working: the observed actual result matches the predefined expected result. The other options misuse terms or invert the relationships between data, expectations, and outcomes, leading to incorrect interpretations of test success.
