ISTQB CTFL Mock Test A

What should be taken into account to determine when to stop testing?

I. Technical risk

II. Business risk

III Project constraints

IV Product documentation

• I and II are true. III and N are false

• III is true, I, II, and IV are false

• I, II, and IV are true; III is false

• I, II, and III are true, IV is false.

Which of the following could be a reason for a failure?

1) Testing fault

2) Software fault

3) Design fault

4) Environment Fault

5) Documentation Fault

• 2 is a valid reason; 1,3,4 & 5 are not

• 1,2,3,4 are valid reasons; 5 is not

• 1,2,3 are valid reasons; 4 & 5 are not

• All of them are valid reasons for failure.

A deviation from the specified or expected behaviour that is visible to end-users is called:

• An error

• A fault

• A failure

• A defect

Which of the following is false?

• In a system, two different failures may have different severities.

• A system is necessarily more reliable after debugging for the removal of a fault.

• A fault need not affect the reliability of a system.

• Undetected errors may lead to faults and eventually to incorrect behaviour.

Which defects are OFTEN much cheaper to remove?

• Usability defects found by customers

• Defects in infrequently used functionality

• Defects that were detected early

• Minor defects that were found by users

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

Which of the following are the typical defects found by static analysis tools?

(a) Variables that are never used.

(b) Security vulnerabilities.

(c) Poor performance.

(d) Unreachable code.

(e) Business processes not followed.

• b, c and d are true; a and e are false

• a is true; b, c, d and e are false

• c, d and e are true; a and b are false

• a, b and d are true; c and e are false

What can static analysis NOT find?

• The use of a variable before it has been defined

• Unreachable ("dead") code

• Memory leaks

• Array bound violations

Reviews, static analysis and dynamic testing have the same objective

• Identifying defects.

• Fixing defects.

• A and B

• None of the above

Who is responsible for documenting all the issues, problems and open point that were identified during the review meeting

• Moderator

• Scribe

• Reviewers

• Author
