Frequency 0, 1, 5, 6; Duration 0, 1, 30, 60, 61

Frequency 0, 1, 2, 5, 6; Duration 0, 1, 30, 60, 61

Which of the following represents good testing practice for testers, irrespective of the software lifecycle model used?

They should be involved in reviewing requirements or user stories as soon as drafts are available

They should start test analysis when the corresponding development level is complete

They should be involved in reviewing requirements or user stories as soon as drafts are available

They should ensure that the same test objectives apply to each test level

They should minimize the ratio of development levels to test levels to reduce project costs

Why is measurement of code coverage Important?

Because code coverage can be used to ensure that all code is exercised by tests

Because 100% code coverage implies 100% coverage of requirements

Because 100% code coverage guarantees that there are no coding errors

Because code coverage can be used to ensure that all code is exercised by tests

Because code coverage can ensure that all decisions are correctly implemented in the code
