Test Techniques

Question 1

A procedure to derive and/or select test cases based on an analysis of the specification, either functional or non-functional, of a component or system without reference to its internal structure

Answer 1

Black-Box Testing

Question 2

A black-box test technique in which test cases are designed based on boundary values

Answer 2

Boundary value analysis

Question 3

An experience-based test technique whereby the
experienced tester uses a high-level list of items to be noted, checked, or remembered, or a set of rules or criteria against which a product has to be verified

Answer 3

Check-list based Testing

Question 4

The degree to which specified coverage items have been determined or have been exercised by a test suite expressed as a percentage

Answer 4

Coverage

Question 5

The coverage of decision outcomes

Answer 5

Decision Coverage

Question 6

A black-box test technique in which test cases are designed to execute the combinations of inputs and/or stimuli (causes) shown in a decision table

Answer 6

Decision table testing

Question 7

A black-box test technique in which test cases are designed to exercise equivalence partitions by using one representative member of each partition

Answer 7

Equivalence Partitions

Question 8

A test technique in which tests are derived on the basis of the tester’s knowledge of past failures, or general knowledge of failure modes

Answer 8

Error guessing

Question 9

A procedure to derive and/or select test cases based on the tester’s experience, knowledge and intuition

Answer 9

Experience based test technique

Question 10

An approach to testing whereby the testers dynamically design and execute tests based on their knowledge, exploration of the test item and the results of previous tests

Answer 10

Exploratory testing

Question 11

A black-box test technique using a state transition diagram or state table to derive test cases to evaluate whether the test item successfully executes valid transitions and blocks invalid transitions

Answer 11

State Transition Testing

Question 12

The percentage of executable statements that have been exercised by a test suite

Answer 12

Statement Coverage

Question 13

A procedure used to derive and/or select test cases

Answer 13

Test Technique

Question 14

A black-box test technique in which test cases are designed to execute scenarios of use cases

Answer 14

Use Case testing

Question 15

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

Answer 15

White-Box Testing
