Stub 
Driver
Proxy
None of the above

Boundary value testing

Is the same as equivalence partitioning tests
Test boundary conditions on, below and above the edges of input and output equivalence classes
Tests combinations of input circumstances 
Is used in white box testing strategy

Pick the best definition of quality

Quality is job one 
Zero defects
Conformance to requirements
Work as designed

Fault Masking is

Error condition hiding another error condition 
Creating a test case which does not reveal a fault
Masking a fault by developer
Masking a fault by a tester

One Key reason why developers have difficulty testing their own work is :

Lack of technical documentation 
Lack of test tools on the market for developers
Lack of training
Lack of Objectivity

During the software development process, at what point can the test process start?

When the code is complete. 
When the design is complete.
When the software requirements have been approved.
When the first code module is ready for unit testing

In a review meeting a moderator is a person who:

Takes minutes of the meeting 
Mediates between people
Takes telephone calls
Writes the documents to be reviewed

Given the Following program IF X < Y THEN Statement 1; ELSE IF Y >= Z THEN Statement 2; END Cyclomatic Complexity is :

2
3
4
5

How many test cases are necessary to cover all the possible sequences of statements (paths) for the following program fragment? Assume that the two conditions are independent of each other : - if (Condition 1) then statement 1 else statement 2 fi if (Condition 2) then statement 3 fi

2 Test Cases 
3 Test Cases
4 Test Cases
Not achievable

Acceptance test cases are based on what?

Requirements 
Design
Code
Decision table

How much testing is enough?

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

A common test technique during component test is:

Statement and branch testing 
Usability testing
Security testing
Performance testing

Statement Coverage will not check for the following.

Missing Statements 
Unused Branches
Dead Code
Unused Statement 

Independent Verification & Validation is:

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

Code Coverage is used as a measure of what ?

Defects 
Trends analysis
Test Effectiveness
Time Spent Testing

Which of the following uses Impact Analysis most?

Component testing 
Non-functional system testing
User acceptance testing
Maintenance testing

Evaluating testability of the requirements and system are a part of which phase

Test Analysis and Design 
Test Planning and control
Test Implementation and execution
Evaluating exit criteria and reporting

Repeated Testing of an already tested program, after modification, to discover any defects introduced or uncovered as a result of the changes in the software being tested or in another related or unrelated software component:

ReTesting 
Confirmation Testing
Regression Testing
Negative Testing

Impact Analysis helps to decide :

How much regression testing should be done 
Exit Criteria
How many more test cases need to written
 Different Tools to perform Regression Testing

Functional system testing is:

testing that the system functions with other systems
 testing that the components that comprise the system function together
 testing the end to end functionality of the system as a whole
testing the system performs functions within specified response times

Peer Reviews are also called as :

Inspection 
Walkthrough
Technical Review
Formal Review

The Kick Off phase of a formal review includes the following :

Explaining the objective 
Fixing defects found typically done by author
Follow up
Individual Meeting preparations

Which of the following is not phase of the Fundamental Test Process?

Test Planning and Control 
Test implementation and Execution
 Requirement Analysis
Evaluating Exit criteria and reporting

Which of the following techniques is NOT a black box technique?

State transition testing 
LCSAJ (Linear Code Sequence and Jump)
syntax testing
boundary value analysis

Success Factors for a review include : i. Each Review does not have a predefined objective ii. Defects found are welcomed and expressed objectively iii. Management supports a good review process. There is an emphasis on learning and process improvement

ii,iii,iv are correct and i is incorrect 
iii , i , iv is correct and ii is incorrect
i , iii , iv , ii is incorrect
ii is correct

Test Conditions are derived from

 Specifications 
Test Cases

Test Design

Minimum Tests Required for Statement Coverage and Branch Coverage : Read P Read Q If p+q > 100 then Print Large End if If p > 50 then Print Large End if

Statement coverage is 2, Branch Coverage is 2 
Statement coverage is 3 and branch coverage is 2

Which of the following will be the best definition for Testing :

The goal / purpose of testing is to demonstrate that the program works.
The purpose of testing is to demonstrate that the program is defect free
The purpose of testing is to demonstrate that the program does what it is supposed to do

Which of the following statements about reviews is true?

Reviews cannot be performed on user requirements specifications.
Reviews are the least effective way of testing code.
