Yes. Spending too much money on testing will result in an unprofitable product, and having cost as an exit criteria helps avoid this

No The financial value of product quality cannot be estimated so it is incorrect to use cost as an exit criteria

Yes. Spending too much money on testing will result in an unprofitable product, and having cost as an exit criteria helps avoid this

Yes Going by cost as an exit criteria constrains the testing project which will help achieve the desired quality level defined for the project

No The cost of testing cannot be measured effectively, so it is incorrect to use cost as an exit criteria

Finding failures in the possible states transitions

Clearer identification of system equivalence partitioning

Finding of failures in the business process flows, which highlight system use in the real world

Identification of bugs in the system components.

Which of the following statements is the best explanation why software failures can be caused by environmental conditions?

Environmental conditions only affect the hardware - not the software

Factors like magnetism, radiation and even pollution can affect electronic devices and the performance of their embedded real time software

Environmental conditions only affect the hardware - not the software

If the hardware on which the software application is running under ambient temperature and humidity, no failures can be linked to environmental conditions

Extreme heat and vibrations exerted on storage media can cause errors in algorithms and program flows

Which of the following is NOT a test control activity?

Writing test suspension and resumption criteria in the test plan

Re-prioritize tests because of time pressure

Change the test schedule due to viability of a test environment

Writing test suspension and resumption criteria in the test plan

Set an entry criterion requiring fixes to be retested by a developer before accepting them into a build

Which of the following statements about use cases and use case testing is NOT TRUE?

Use cases are normally derived from decision tables

Use cases can be used as test basis for acceptance testing

Use case testing can find defects in the process flow.

Use cases can be described at the abstract level or at the system level

Use cases are normally derived from decision tables

What is a defect density?

The number of defects identified in the system under test divided by the size of the system

The percentage of defects identified over the total number of test cases

The deviation rate of the system from its expected behavior

The ratio of the defects identified in these system over the expected number of total defects

The number of defects identified in the system under test divided by the size of the system

What is the order in which the specifications for test cases, test conditions and test procedures are developed as a part of the test development process?

Test Condition --> Test Case --> Test Procedure

Test Procedure --> Test Condition -> Test Case

Test Condition --> Test Case --> Test Procedure

Test Procedure -> Test Case -> Test Condition

Test Condition --> Test Procedure --> Test Case

When should component integration tests be carried out?

Integration tests should always be done before system tests

Integration tests should always be done after system tests

Integration tests should be done at the customer's site, after acceptance tests

Integration tests can be done before or after system tests

Integration tests should always be done before system tests

Which of the following activities do NOT belong to test implementation and execution?

Checking if the preconditions of test execution have been met

Choose below the best characterization of the difference between black-box testing and white-box testing

Black-box testing is based on the test basis documentation. White-box testing is based on an analysis of the code itself.

For black-box testing, the testers do not need to know the test object in advance

For white-box testing, the testers have to consult specifications and developers before running any tests

Black box testing uses static analysis. White box testing uses dynamic analysis

Black-box testing is based on the test basis documentation. White-box testing is based on an analysis of the code itself.

Black-box testing is based on an analysis of the code itself White-box testing is based on the test basis.

Which of the following statements about independent testing is WRONG?

Independent testing is necessary because developers don't know any testing

A certain degree of independence makes the tester more effective at finding defects

Independent testing is best suited for the system test level

Independent test teams may find other types of defects than developers who are familiar with the system's structure.

Which of the following is NOT a common objective of testing?

Debugging the software to find the reason for defects

Providing information on the status of the system

Finding defects in the software

Debugging the software to find the reason for defects

Which of the following DOES NOT describe 'component testing'?

Component testing tests interfaces between modules and interactions of different parts of a system.

Component testing occurs with access to the code being tested and with the support of a development environment, such as a unit test framework or debugging tool

Component testing verifies the functioning of. software modules, programs, objects, classes, etc. that are separately testable.

In component testing stubs, drivers and simulators may be usefully utilized to facilitate tester activity

Which type of software development product can undergo static testing?

Any software development product can undergo static testing, including requirements specifications, design specifications and code

Static testing is done only on the requirements. You need to execute the software in order to find defects in the code

Static testing is done only on the code as part of the 'code review' sessions Other documents are reviewed, but not by static testing Static tests

should be performed on the installation and user guide documents as these documents are used by the end user

A tester thinks of a likely cause for a specific bug Should the tester make a comment about this in the bug report?

Yes Observations that may help correct a bug should be included in the bug report

No. A bug r^&ort must only include factual information, and not unsupported hypothesis

No. Such addition may bias the developers' attitude when they attempt to fix the bug

Yes It will reduce the risk that the bug fix will cause a regression

Yes Observations that may help correct a bug should be included in the bug report

Which of the following sentences about testing and debugging is correct?

Dynamic testing reveals failures, while debugging removes defects

Re-testing checks that debugging has found and analyzed the failure

Dynamic testing finds defects, while debugging removes failures

Dynamic testing reveals failures, while debugging removes defects

Like most development activities, debugging is usually done before testing starts
