CTFL Mock Exam - 1

What are the potential benefits from using tools in general to support testing?

• Greater quality of code, reduction in the number of testers needed, better objectives for testing

• Greater repeatability of tests, reduction in repetitive work, objective assessment

• Greater responsiveness of users, reduction of tests run, objectives not necessary

• Greater quality of code, reduction in paperwork, fewer objections to the tests

For a test procedure that is checking modifications of customers on a database, which two steps below would be the lowest priority if we didn’t have time to execute all of the steps?

1. Open database and confirm existing customer

2. Change customer’s marital status from single to married

3. Change customer’s street name from Parks Road to Park Road

4. Change customer’s credit limit from 500 to 750

5. Replace customer’s first name with exactly the same first name

6. Close the customer record and close the database

• Tests 1 and 4

• Tests 2 and 3

• Tests 5 and 6

• Tests 3 and 5

During test execution, the test manager describes the following situation to the project team:

“90% of the test cases have been run.

20% of the test cases have identified defects.

127 defects have been found. 112 defects have been fixed and have passed confirmation testing.

Of the remaining 15 defects, project management has decided that they do not need to be fixed prior to release.”

Which of the following is the most reasonable interpretation of this test status report?

• The remaining 15 defects should be confirmation tested prior to release

• The remaining 10% of test cases should be run prior to release

• The system is now ready for release with no further testing or development effort

• The programmers should focus their attention on fixing the remaining known defects prior to release

Which test activities are supported by test harness or unit test framework tools?

• Test management and control

• Test specification and design

• Test execution and logging

• Performance and monitoring

Consider the following types of tools:

V. Test management tools

W. Static analysis tools

X. Modelling tools

Y. Dynamic analysis tools

Z. Performance testing tools

Which of the following of these tools is most likely to be used by developers?

• W, X and Y

• V, Y and Z

• V, W and Z

• X, Y and Z

You are working as a tester on a project to develop a point-of-sales system for grocery stores and other similar retail outlets.

Which of the following is a product risk for such a project?

• The arrival of a more-reliable competing product on the market

• Delivery of an incomplete test release to the first cycle of system test

• An excessively high number of defect fixes fail during re-testing

• Failure to accept allowed credit cards

Which of the following metrics would be most useful to monitor during test execution?

• Percentage of test cases written

• Number of test environments remaining to be configured

• Number of defects found and fixed

• Percentage of requirements for which a test has been written

Which tools help to support static testing?

• Static analysis tools and test execution tools

• Review process support tools, static analysis tools and coverage measurement tools

• Dynamic analysis tools and modeling tools

• Review process support tools, static analysis tools and modeling tools

If the temperature falls below 18 degrees, the heating is switched on.

When the temperature reaches 21 degrees, the heating is switched off.

• I, II, III, IV and V

• IV, I, V, III and II

• IV, I, V, II and III

• I, IV, V, III and II
