What is the main reason for testing software before releasing it?

o to show that system will work after release

o to decide when the software is of sufficient quality to release
o to find as many bugs as possible before release
o to give information for a risk based decision about release

In which order should tests be run?

o the most important tests first

o the most difficult tests first(to allow maximum time for fixing)
o the easiest tests first(to give initial confidence)
o the order they are thought of

Error guessing is best used:

o As the first approach to deriving test cases

o After more formal techniques have been applied
 o By inexperienced testers
o After the system has gone live
o Only by end users

How much testing is enough?

o This question is impossible to answer

o This question is easy to answer
o The answer depends on the risk for your industry, contract and special requirements
o This answer depends on the maturity of your developers

Independent Verification & Validation is

o Done by the Developer

o Done by the Test Engineers
o Done By Management
o Done by an Entity Outside the Project's sphere of influence .

In practice, which Life Cycle model may have more, fewer or different levels of development and
testing, depending on the project and the software product.
For example, there may be component integration testing after component testing, and system
integration testing after system testing.

o Waterfall Model
o V-Model
o Spiral Model
o RAD Model

When should we stop testing?

o 1 - all the planned tests have been run

o 2 - time has run out
o all faults have been fixed correctly
o it depends on the risks for the system being tested
o both 1 and 2

A test design technique is

o a process for selecting test cases

o a process for determining expected outputs
 o a way to measure the quality of software
o a way to measure in a test plan what has to be done

Which is not a test Oracle

o The existing system (For a bench mark)

o The code
o Individual's knowledge
o User manual

Which is not a testing principle

Which of the following requirements is testable?

o The system shall be user friendly

o The response time shall be less than one second for the specified design load
o The system shall be built to be portable

Poor software characteristics are

o None

When should we run regression tests? Choose TWO Answers.

 o every week
o after the software has changed
o as often as possible
o when the environment has changed

3. 28. Question

The cost of fixing a fault:

o Is not important
o Increases as we move the product towards live use
o Decreases as we move the product towards live use
o Is more expensive if found in requirements than functional design
o Can never be determined

When what is visible to end-users is a deviation from the specific or expected behavior, this is
called:

o an error
o a fault
o a failure
o a defect
o a mistake

Expected results are:

o only important in system testing

o only used in component testing
o never specified in advance
o most useful when specified in advance
o derived from the code

What statement about expected outcomes is FALSE:

o expected outcomes are defined by the softwares behaviour

o expected outcomes are derived from a specification, not from the code
o expected outcomes include outputs to a screen and changes to files and databases
 o expected outcomes should be predicted before a test is run
o expected outcomes may include timing constraints such as response times

Test cases are designed during:

o test recording
o test planning
o test configuration
o test specification

Enough testing has been performed when:

o time runs out

o the required level of confidence has been achieved
o no more faults are found
o the users won't find any serious faults

Consider the following statements about early test design:

ii. faults found during early test design are more expensive to fix
iii. early test design can find faults
iv. early test design can cause changes to the requirements
v. early test design takes more effort

o i, iii & iv are true. Ii & v are false

o i, iii, iv & v are true, ii us false
o i & iii are true, ii, iv & v are false

Incorrect
