Why is it important to include both normal and alternate flows in use case testing?

ATo ensure the system handles both expected and unexpected user behaviors

BTo reduce the number of test cases needed

CTo focus only on the most common user path

DTo test only the system's error messages

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Define normal and alternate flows
Normal flows are expected user paths; alternate flows cover exceptions or variations.
Step 2: Understand testing purpose for both flows
Testing both ensures system works correctly in all situations, expected or unexpected.
Final Answer:
To ensure the system handles both expected and unexpected user behaviors -> Option A
Quick Check:
Test normal + alternate flows for full coverage [OK]

Quick Trick: Test both normal and alternate flows for robustness [OK]
