01 Fundamentals of Testing

A risk-based approach to testing is being used on the satellite tracking application to identify which functions to test in more depth.

Which of the following principles is being applied?

• Exhaustive testing is impossible

• Testing shows the presence of defects

• Defect clustering

• Absence-of-errors fallacy

Finalizing, implementing and prioritizing test cases, is an activity done in

• Evaluation, Exit Criteria and Reporting

• Test Analysis and Design

• Test Planning

• Test Implementation and Execution

Which of the following is NOT one of the five fundamental test activities?

• Test Implementation and Execution

• Test Analysis and Design

• Test Planning and Control

• Evaluating Entry Criteria and Reporting

Which of the following tasks is performed as part of the Test Implementation and Execution activity

• Assessing if more tests are needed or if the exit criteria specified should be changed

• Checking which planned deliverables have been delivered

• Verifying that the test environment has been set-up correctly

• Identifying necessary test data to support the test conditions and test cases

Documenting the acceptance of the system, is an activity done in

• Test Planning

• Control

• Test Execution

• Closure

Which of the following is a psychological factor that influences the success of testing?

• Testers are driven by pride in their professionalism

• Defects are communicated in a constructive manner

• Testing is perceived to be a constructive activity

• Independence increases author bias

Which of the following statements BEST describes the different mindsets of the developer and tester?

• Testers believe that all code contains defects, while the developers believe that all code is bug free

• Developers perceive their activities to be constructive, while testers  perceive their activities to be destructive

• The independence of the tester avoids author bias and makes them more effective at finding defects

• Testers can focus on removing defects from the code, while developers focus on not introducing defects

Re-prioritizing tests when an identified risk occurs, is an activity done in

• Test Planning

• Control

• Test Execution

• Closure

Testers should have some degree of independence when doing tests.

• True

• False

Identifying necessary test data to support the test conditions and test cases, is an activity done in

• Test Analysis and Design

• Evaluation, Exit Criteria and Reporting

• Closure

• Test Planning
