Question 1

Test basis

Answer 1

Documents which requirements for components are inferred

Question 2

Test item

Answer 2

Individual elements to be tested several built together create a test object

Question 3

Test object

Answer 3

Components or system to be tested

Question 4

Test objective

Answer 4

Reason or purpose for designing and executing tests

Question 5

Test condition

Answer 5

Item or event of a component or system that could be verified by one or more test cases

Question 6

Error

Answer 6

Human action that produces an incorrect result

Question 7

Defect/bug/fault

Answer 7

Flaw in component or system that can cause component or system to fail to perform required function

Question 8

Failure

Answer 8

Deviation of the component or system from expected delivery, service or result

Question 9

Planning/Control

Answer 9

1. Determine the test objectives, risk and scope
2. Determine the test approach
3. Determine the required test to resources
4. Identify and interface the test teams
5. Implementation of organizational test policy and strategy
6. Schedule test activities
7. Determine the exit criteria

Question 10

Analysis/Design

Answer 10

1. Reviewing the test basis
2. Designing and prioritizing a high level test cases
3. Identifying necessary test data to supporting the test conditions and test cases
4. Designing the test environment set up including identification of tools and infrastructure

Question 11

Implementation/Execution

Answer 11

1. Implementing in prioritizing the test cases
2. Prioritizing test procedures and creating test data
3. Enhancing execution by organizing test procedures into test suites
4. Verify the test environment has been set up correctly
5. Executing test procedures both manual and automated
6. Logging the outcome of execution known as test log
7. Comparing actual results with expected results
8. Reporting discrepancies as incidents
9. Re-execution of a failed test

Question 12

Evaluating Exit Criteria/Reporting

Answer 12

Closure activities occur at project milestones

1. Analyze lessons learned
2. Ensuring turnover of planned deliverables
3. Closure of incident reports
4. Documenting acceptance of the system
5. Finalizing and archiving testware, environment and infrastructure for later use

Question 13

Product Risk

Answer 13

Risk directly related to test object meaning risk related to component or system

Question 14

Project Risk

Answer 14

Risk related to the management and control of the project

Question 15

What are the 7 principles of testing?

Answer 15

1. Testing only shows the presence of defects
2. Complete and exhaustive testing is impossible
3. Early and effective testing starts with requirements
4. Defect clustering is when a few modules have the most defects focus testing there
5. Pesticide paradox eventually the same testing goes stale constantly revise to avoid
6. Testing is context dependent risk of failure influences where to test
7. Absence of errors fallacy fixing all defects doesn’t warrant usability or a working product
