Which of the following statements about component testing is not true?

• Component testing should be performed by development
• Component testing is also know as isolation or module testing
• Component testing should have completion criteria planned
• Component testing does not involve regression testing

Equivalence partitioning is:

• A black box testing technique used only by developers
• A black box testing technique than can only be used during system testing
• A black box testing technique appropriate to all levels of testing
• A white box testing technique appropriate for component testing

Which of the following is the main purpose of the integration strategy for integration testing in the small?

• To ensure that all of the small modules are tested adequately
• To ensure that the system interfaces to other systems and networks
• To specify which modules to combine when and how many at once
• To ensure that the integration testing can be performed by a small team
• To specify how the software should be divided into modules

Which expression best matches the following characteristics or review processes:

<br>

1. Led by author

2. Undocumented

3. No management participation

4. Led by a trained moderator or leader

5. Uses entry exit criteria

<br>

s) Inspection

t) Peer review

u) Informal review

v) Walkthrough

• s = 4, t = 3, u = 2 and 5, v = 1

• s = 4 and 5, t = 3, u = 2, v = 1

• s = 1 and 5, t = 3, u = 2, v = 4

• s = 5, t = 4, u = 3, v = 1 and 2

• s = 4 and 5, t = 1, u = 2, v = 3

Given the following types of tool, which tools would typically be used by developers and which by an independent test team:

<br>

i. Static analysis

ii. Performance testing

iii. Test management

iv. Dynamic analysis

v. Test running

vi. Test data preparation

• Developers would typically use i, iv and vi; test team ii, iii and v

• Developers would typically use i and iv; test team ii, iii, v and vi

• Developers would typically use i, ii, iii and iv; test team v and vi

• Developers would typically use ii, iv and vi; test team I, ii and v

• Developers would typically use i, iii, iv and v; test team ii and vi

Which of the following statements is NOT true:

• Inspection is the most formal review process
• Inspections should be led by a trained leader
• Managers can perform inspections on management documents
• Inspection is appropriate even when there are no written documents
• Inspection compares documents with predecessor (source) documents

What can static analysis NOT find?

• The use of a variable before it has been defined
• Unreachable (“dead”) code
• Whether the value stored in a variable is correct
• The re-definition of a variable before it has been used
• Array bound violations

What statement about expected outcomes is FALSE:

• Expected outcomes are defined by the software's behaviour
• Expected outcomes are derived from a specification, not from the code
• Expected outcomes include outputs to a screen and changes to files and databases
• Expected outcomes should be predicted before a test is run
• Expected outcomes may include timing constraints such as response times

Which of the following helps in monitoring the Test Progress:

<br>

i. Percentage of Test Case Execution

ii. Percentage of work done in test environment preparation.

iii. Defect Information e.g. defect density, defects found and fixed

iv. The size of the testing Team and skills of the engineers

• iv is correct and i,ii,iii are incorrect

• i,ii,iii are correct and iv is incorrect

• i,ii are correct and iii,iv are incorrect

• i,iv are correct and ii , iii are incorrect
