Selected Answer: D
The evaluation of suitable tools is the process of determining which tool to buy. The costs associated with the tool are a factor in that evaluation, but the evaluation itself isn't a cost. You're trying to figure out the costs so you can perform the evaluation. They are distinct activities. The other options are examples of initial tool costs: A. Integration with other tools: The cost of integrating the new tool with existing systems (e.g., development tools, defect tracking tools) is a real cost. B. Learning time required to use the new tool: The time spent training team members on the new tool is a cost that needs to be factored in. C. Tool portability: If the tool needs to run on specific hardware or software, there might be costs associated with that (e.g., upgrading systems). Portability can therefore impact costs.
