| Q # | Answer | Detailed explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | b. Checking that we are building the system right | Verification confirms that work products properly reflect the requirements specified for them. Did we build the system right? Validation check whether a function needed and expected by customers is present in a software product. Did we build the right system, appropriate, fit-for-use? |
| 2 | b. Will help ensure unchanged areas of the software have not been affected | Re-tested to confirm that the original defect has been successfully removed. This is called confirmation Regression testing is the repeated testing of an already tested program, after modification, to discover and defects introduced or uncovered as result of the change(s). |
| 3 | c. It may be difficult to determine if the test has passed or failed | A test case consists of a set of input values, execution preconditions, expected results and execution postconditions, defined to cover a certain test objective(s) or test conditions |
| 4 | d. All of them are valid reasons for failure | Failure: a behavioral deviation from user requirement or product specification Errors ? Faults ? Failures ?Use the term |
| 5 | b. You do the best testing in the time available | – |
| 6 | a. Error guessing | Experience based Techniques |
| 7 | d. Component testing does not involve regression testing | Regression testing is the repeated testing of an already tested program, these defects may be either in the software being tested, or in another related or unrelated software component. |
| 8 | c. Planning | Test plannin activities: Defining the overall approach of testing, including the definition of the test levels and entry and exit criteria. Typically exit criteria may cover the following: Cost |
| 9 | b. Able to write software | – |
| 10 | d. All of the above | – |
| 11 | b. Bottom-up integration | Top-down: from menu to function (use stub) Bottom-up: from detail function to menu (use driver) |
| 12 | a. Project plan | – |
| 13 | c. Project status report | – |
| 14 | b. Deliverable base-lining | – |
| 15 | b. Cultural difference | – |
| 16 | b. 40-50 | – |
| 17 | b. Is unlikely to cause a failure | – |
| 18 | b. The answer depends on the risks for your industry, contract and special requirements | Deciding how much testing is enough should take account of the level of risk, including technical, safety, and busuness risks, and project constraints such as time and budget. |
| 19 | d. Robustness | – |
| 20 | a. White box | – |
| 21 | d. All of the above | – |
| 22 | b. Driver | Stubs and drivers are usually used in UT to replace missing components, software Stub: called by software component Driver: call software component A driver: is a software module used to invoke a module under test and, often, provide test inputs, control and monitor execution, and report test results A stub: is a computer program statement substituting for the body of a software module that is or will be defined elsewhere. |
| 23 | c. A black box testing technique appropriate to all levels of testing | – |
| 24 | a. A small team to establish the best way to use the tool | – |
| 25 | d. How much of the code has been covered | – |
