ISTQB Question Bank 381 to 420

Which of the following is correct about static analysis tools?

• Static analysis tools are used only by developers
• Compilers may offer some support for static analysis
• Static analysis tools help find failures rather than defects
• Static analysis tools require execution of the code to analyze the coverage

Which of the following list contains only non-functional tests?

• Interoperability (compatibility) testing, reliability testing, performance testing

• System testing, performance testing

• Load testing, stress testing, component testing, portability testing

• Testing various configurations, beta testing, load testing

Without testing all possible transitions, which test suite will test all marital statuses?

• SO-S1-S2-S4-S1-S4

• SO-S1-S2-S3-S1-S2

• SO-S1-S4-S1-S2-S3

• SO-S1-S2-S3-S4-S1

What test items should be put under configuration management?

• The test object, the test material and the test environment
• The problem reports and the test material
• Only the test object. The test cases need to be adapted during agile testing
• The test object and the test material

This part of a program is given:

• One

• Indefinite

• Two

• Four

What is the purpose of test exit criteria in the test plan?

• To specify when to stop the testing activity
• To set the criteria used in generating test inputs
• To ensure that the test case specification is complete
• To know when a specific test has finished its execution

If a program is tested and 100% condition coverage is achieved, which of the following coverage criteria is then guaranteed to be achieved?

• 100% branch coverage
• 100% condition coverage and 100% statement coverage
• Equivalence class and boundary value coverage
• No other white box coverage criterion is guaranteed to be fulfilled 100%

Using the diagram below, which test suite will uncover invalid state transitions for employee status reporting software?

• Prospective – Active – Resigned – Active – Terminated – Purged

• Prospective – Active – On Leave – Active – Resigned – Retired

• Prospective – Active – Retired – Active – On Leave – Purged

• Prospective – Active – On Leave – Active – Retired – Active

Which test approaches or strategies are characterized by the descriptions below?

• S4, T3, U2, V1

• S1, T2, U3, V4

• S2, T3, U1, V4

• S3, T4, U2, V1

Which of the following statements is correct?

• Static analysis tools produce statistics during program execution
• Configuration management systems allow us to provide accurate defect statistics of different configurations
• Stress testing tools examine the behavior of the test object at or beyond full load
• Performance measurement tools can be used in all phases of software life-cycle
