ISTQB - Chapter 2

In the following characteristics what is the point of good testing?

I. For every development activity, there is a corresponding testactivity

II. Each test level has test objectives specific to that level

III. Test analysis and design for a given test level begin during the corresponding development activity

IV. Testers participate in discussions and review

Which of the following is correct?

• a) I,II are true and III,IV are false

• b) I,II,III,IV are all true

• c) I,II,III,IV are all false

• d) I is true and II,III,IV is false

Which of the following models is a typical example model for a sequential development model?

• a) V-model

• b) Agile model

• c) Incremental model

• d) Waterfall model

Which one of the following statements about sequential development model is NOT true?

• a) Establishing requirements, designing, building, and testing a system in pieces.

• b) Any phase in the development process should begin when the previous phase is complete.

• c) In theory, there is no overlap of phases, but in practice, it is beneficial to have early feedback from the following phase.

• d) Test activities only occur after all other development activities have been completed.

Which of the following models is a typical example model for a incremental development model?

• a) Waterfall model

• b) Agile model

• c) V-model

• d) Iterative model

Which one of the following statements about incremental development model is NOT true?

• a) Establishing requirements, designing, building, and testing a system in pieces.

• b) The size of these feature increments varies, with some methods having larger pieces and some smaller pieces.

• c) The feature increments can be as small as a single change to a user interface screen or new query option.

• d) Test activities only occur after all other development activities have been completed.

Which of the following models is a typical example model for a interative development model?

• a) V-model

• b) Incremental model

• c) Agile model

• d) Waterfall model

Which one of the following statements about interative development model is NOT true?

• a) Occurs when groups of features are specified, designed, built, and tested together in a series of cycles, often of a fixed duration.

• b) It is beneficial to have early feedback from the following phase.

• c) Involve changes to features developed in earlier iterations, along with changes in project scope.

• d) Delivers working software which is a growing subset of the overall set of features until the final software is delivered or development is stopped.

An appropriate software development lifecycle model should be selected and adapted based on:

• a) The project goal, the type of product being developed, business priorities and identified product and project risks.

• b) The system’s internal structure or implementation.

• c) Behavior and capabilities of a whole system or product.

• d) Interactions between components or systems.

Which of the following is a test level?

• a) Component testing, Functional testing, Non-functional testing, Acceptance testing.

• b) Component testing, Integration testing, System testing, Acceptance testing.

• c) Component testing, Functional testing, Non-functional testing, Confirmation testing.

• d) Functional testing, Non-functional testing, White-box testing, Change-related Testing.

Common forms of acceptance testing include the following:

• a) User acceptance testing (UAT), Operational acceptance testing (OAT).

• b) Contractual and regulatory acceptance testing, Alpha and beta testing.

• c) a and b are false

• d) a and b above
