TESTING

Question 1

White Box Testing

Answer 1

Tester has full knowledge of internal structure and implementation of software being tested.

Allows tester to create test cases.

Performed by testers who do unit testing and code reviews to ensure software functions correctly.

Question 2

Discuss the skills that will be needed to implement white box testing successfully.

Answer 2

Programming Skills
Analytical Skills
Test Design and Planning Skills
Debugging Skills
Communication and Collaboration Skills

Question 3

Advantages of White Box

Answer 3

Comprehensive testing

Early detection of defects

Faster feedback loop

Question 4

Disadvantages of White Box

Answer 4

Time consuming

Expertise required

Question 5

Black Box Testing

Answer 5

Tester has no knowledge of internal workings of software being tested.

Focus on external behaviour and functionality of software.

Usually performed by quality assurance teams who use acceptance,regression testing to ensure software meets intended functionality and user requirements.

Question 6

Advantages of Black Box

Answer 6

Easy to use: not required knowledge of internal workings, easier to use and accessible to non technical tester.

Reduced bias: less prone to bias as tester not influences by internal workings.

Efficient for bulky code

Question 7

Disadvantages of Black Box

Answer 7

Limited coverage

Limited defects detection

Repetitive testing: require repetition testing to ensure software functioning well in all possible scenarios.

Question 8

System/software Testing

Answer 8

Demonstrate that software function appear to be working according to specifications and performance requirements.

Question 9

Unit Testing

Answer 9

Take small pieces of testable software, isolate it from the remaining code, and determine if it behaves exactly as expected.

Question 10

Acceptance Testing

Answer 10

Determines whether system meets specified requirements and is acceptable for delivery to end users.

Question 11

Test Cases

Answer 11

Determine if requirement upon application is partially or fully satisfied.

Helps tester recall functionality when it comes back for testing after long gap.

Question 12

Integration testing

Answer 12

Units are combined into components to test how well the components fit together and work together.

Question 13

Validation testing

Answer 13

Provides final assurance that software is working correctly as it has to.
