Which of the following statements about estimation of the test effort is WRONG?

Effort estimate depends on the budget of the project.

Effort estimate can be inaccurate because the quality of the product under tests is not known.

Once the test effort is estimated, resources can be identified and a schedule can be drawn up.

Experience based estimation is one of the estimation techniques.

Effort estimate depends on the budget of the project.

There is no link to the applicable requirement (traceability)

Which of the following statements about test execution effort is true?

The test case execution effort is dependent on the build quality.

An increase in number of testers always reduces testing time.

A large number of test repetitions mean less test execution effort.

The test execution effort is independent of the number of test environments.

The test case execution effort is dependent on the build quality.

What is the ideal number of regression test cycles?

As many as time and budget allow

Until the quality requirements are met

The process of transforming general testing objectives into tangible test conditions and test cases

The overall process of testing a system to verify that it meets specified requirements.

The process of selecting test techniques to exercise the functions implemented by the tested system

The process of transforming general testing objectives into tangible test conditions and test cases

An approach to testing to reduce the level of product risks by focusing on high-risk areas in the product

One of the exit criteria for a SW project was defined as '80% statement coverage'.A test manager submitted the following report:'We did not measure the statement coverage. However, we ensured 80% branch coverage, therefore the exit criteria was met'.Is the test manager right?

No There is not direct relationship 80% branch coverage does not guarantee 80% statement coverage

Yes. 50% branch coverage guarantees 100% statement coverage. With 80% branch coverage, the exit criteria is easily met.

No. The relation works the other way: 80% statement coverage guarantees 80% branch coverage

Yes Coverage of 80% of the branches in the control flow guarantees 80% statement coverage

Load testing tool checks for:

time response and resource utilization

presence of bugs in user interface

It is a product risk since any risk associated with development timelines is a product risk

It is a product risk since default on part of the sub-contractor may lead to delay in release of the product

It is no longer a risk for the Test Manager since an independent party (the sub-contractor) is now managing it

It is not allowed as organizations can't change the test levels as these are chosen on the basis of the SDLC (software development life cycle) model

It is allowed because integration testing is not an important test level and can be dispensed with

It is not allowed as organizations can't change the test levels as these are chosen on the basis of the SDLC (software development life cycle) model

It is allowed as organizations can decide on which test levels to do depending on the context of the system under test

It is not allowed because integration testing is a very important test level and ignoring it means definite poor product quality
