Q

What is a design testing technique?

A

A way to measure in a test plan what has to be done.

18
Q

Which criterion should be used to decide which testing technique to use?

A

How appropriate the technique is for testing the application.

19
Q

What is the purpose of a test completion criterion?

A

To determine when to stop testing.

20
Q

Which kind of plan should be in place to proactively face and resolve the risks of the development process?

A

Mitigation

21
Q

What are the necessary parts of a test case, according to the software testing principles?

A

A description of the correct output of the program for a set of input data.

22
Q

How does a test verify that a program meets requirements?

A

It validates input conditions that produce defined requirements.

23
Q

What is the definition of functional system testing?

A

Testing the end-to-end functionality of the system as a whole.

24
Q

Which statement describes part of a formal coding review process?

A

The programmer narrates, statement by statement, the logic of the program.

25
Q

Which action describes a realistic verification step?

A

Compare the input to the system design phase of its input to the program design phase.

26
Q

Which type of review is used to identify discrepancies from specifications or standards?

A

Technical

27
Q

Which type of review is recommended when reviewers are geographically separated and teleconferencing is impossible?

A

Circulation

28
Q

Which testing approach should increase software quality?

A

Following well-established procedures and appropriate testing tools.

29
Q

Which test type validates an expected result from an application?

A

Acceptance

30
Q

Which test type should be used before releasing the application for commercial use?

A

Beta

31
Q

Which test should be used to ensure a module of code meets quality standards?

A

Unit

32
Q

A developer creates a test in which much of the code will be executed. Which test type does this describe?

A

White box

33
Q

A developer updates some existing software. Which type of test should the developer run to ensure the core functionality of the software still works as expected?

A

Regression

34
Q

A new application needs to be developed which will use existing databases, application program interfaces (APIs), and server infrastructure. The application will create a new user interface based on the product owners’ graphical user interface (GUI) requirements. Which test method will verify the functionality of the GUI without verifying the underlying code?

A

Black box

35
Q

A development team is working on a small project and has decided that they would like to employ an additional test level that could be introduced into a standard V-model after system testing. Which additional testing level should be introduced?

A

Regression

36
Q

The development team is questioned by its end user concerning the benefits of designing tests in the software development process. What is a key benefit of developing tests early in the process?

A

It helps prevent defects from being introduced into the code.

37
Q

Which testing method should be used to compare a developer’s program to the program’s initial requirements?

A

System

38
Q

An end user will perform an acceptance test against an application as a final verification. Which development process step is being verified?

A

Requirements

39
Q

What is the purpose of a usability test?

A

To evaluate a product by testing it with representative users.

40
Q

What describes decision/condition coverage testing?
