Which of following is Not “Test Analysis and design” activity in “Fundamental Test Process”?

• Creating test suites from the test procedures for efficient test execution
• Identify necessary test data to support the test conditions and test cases
• Identifying and prioritizing test conditions based on analysis of test items, the specification, behavior and structure of the software
• Creating bi-directional traceability between test basic and test case

As a test leader you are collecting measure about defect . You recognize that after the first test cycle covering all requirements – subsystem C has a defect density that is 150% higher than the average. Subsystem A on the other hand has a defect density that is 60% lower than the average. What conclusions for the next test cycle could you draw from this fact?

• Because we have already found many defects in subsystem C we do not need to test it much more
• According to the testing principle “defect clustering” it is probable that subsystem C has still more hidden defects. Therefore we need to test subsystem C in more detail
• Observed defect density does not allow any conclusions about the amount of additional testing
• We focus testing on subsystem A, because we have found fewest defect in that module so far

You are running a written test which other testers have run previously. In addition, this test has found bugs previously, and those bugs have been confirmed to be fixed. The test manager has encouraged you to vary the specific way in which you run the test, such as the order of certain actions, the use of mouse versus hot-keys, and the particular input values, based on the way users will use in the system. Which of the following is a testing principle that could explain the test manager’s directive?

• Early testing
• Absence -of -error fallacy
• Random testing
• Pesticide paradox

Which of the following are conclusions you could draw from the principles?

<br>

A. Safety critical systems are tested exhaustively

B. The testing coverage required in one organization may not be appropriate in another organizations

C. Risk assessment is required to understand how much testing is enough for each system

D. Safety critical systems are likely to need more coverage than non-safety critical system

E. Web sites cannot be tested because of the vast number of combinations of platform, browser, internet route and navigation options

• A, D and E are reasonable conclusions, the others are not

• B, C and D are reasonable conclusions, the others are not

• B, C and E are reasonable conclusions, the others are not

• B, D and E are reasonable conclusions, the others are not

How many test cases are required to cover 100% 0 - switch coverage respectively from X2?

• 4

• 1

• 3

• 2

Which is a correct explanation about non functional testing ?

• Non functional testing shall not be executed in component testing, because non functional testing is required to integrate whole functions.
• Non functional testing is a testing which measure and judge various quality attributes.
• Non functional testing shall be executed based on ISO/IEC 9126 (Software Product Quality)
• Non functional testing is a testing which requires inspirations and experiences, and has difficulty with numeric evaluation.

Which of following is NOT correct regarding of Iterative – incremental Development Models ?

• This is the process of establishing requirements, designing, building and testing a system in a series of short development cycles
• This model demonstrate the relationship between each phase of the life cycle and its associated phase of testing
• A system that is produced using this model is tested at several test levels during each iteration
• Regression testing is increasing important on all integrations after the first one

The following descriptions are related to acceptance testing. Which of the following alternative describes NOT true?

• Site acceptance testing is to determine whether or not a component or system satisfies the user/customer needs and fits within the business process, normally including hardware as well as software.
• Acceptance testing is formal testing with respect to users needs, requirements, and business processes conducted to determine whether or not a system satisfies the acceptance criteria and to enable the user, customers or other authorized entity to determine whether or not to accept the system.
• User acceptance testing verifies the fitness for use of the system and usability of business perspective
• Regulation acceptance testing is performed against any regulations that must be adhered to, such as governmental, legal or safety regulations

Which of the following alternative describes the main difference between “system testing” and “Acceptance testing”?

• System testing is done on the development platform, while acceptance testing is done on the customer platform
• System testing is done against the developers’ interpretation of the requirements, acceptance testing against customer understanding
• System testing concentrates on functional testing, while acceptance testing concentrates on nonfunctional testing
• Acceptance testing is a regression test for the changes implemented during system testing.

Which of following is NOT about functional testing?

• This testing is considers the external behavior of the software (black-box testing)
• Security testing investigates the function relating to detection of threats.
• This testing describes the test required to measure characteristics of systems and software that can be quantified on a varying scale.
• Interoperability testing evaluates the capability of the software product to interact with one or more specified component or systems.
