Who creates and maintains standard modules?

• A. User team
• B. Tricentis
• C. External vendors
• D. The automation framework

Answer: (B)

Standard modules are the pre-built actions and controls that cover common UI elements across many applications. They are created and kept up-to-date by Tricentis, the tool vendor, ensuring compatibility with new software versions, new controls, and evolving UI patterns. This vendor maintenance provides consistency across projects and reduces the need for you to recreate these generic interactions. Your own team typically creates and maintains custom modules tailored to your specific application, while external vendors might supply specialized modules, the standard set itself being owned and updated by Tricentis. The automation framework defines how modules are used, but the ongoing creation and maintenance of standard modules come from the vendor.
