Chapter 2 - Testing Processes

Question 1

structure-based technique (white-box test design technique)

Answer 1

Procedure to derive and/or select test cases based on an analysis of the internal structure of a component or system

Question 2

control flow testing

Answer 2

An approach to structure-based testing in which test cases are designed to execute specific sequences of events. Various techniques exist for control flow testing, decision testing, condition testing, and path testing, that each have their specific approach and level of control flow coverage

Question 3

statement testing

Answer 3

A white-box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute statements

Question 4

branch testing

Answer 4

A white-box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute branches. ISTQB deems this identical to decision testing

Question 5

decision testing

Answer 5

A white-box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute decision outcomes. ISTQB deems this identical to branch testing

Question 6

condition testing

Answer 6

A white-box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute condition outcomes.

Question 7

atomic condition

Answer 7

A condition that cannot be decomposed, i.e., a condition that does not contain two or more single conditions joined by a logical operator (AND, OR, XOR
