If a system has been tested and only a few defects have been found, what can we conclude about the state of the system?

<br>

a. The system may be defect free but the testing done cannot guarantee that this is true.

b. The system is defect free and further testing would therefore be a waste of resources.

c. It depends what the system is designed to do.

d. Further testing should be considered but this should be focussed on areas of highest risk because it would not be possible to test everything.

e. Testing should be curtailed because it is yielding no value.

Which of the following defects would NORMALLY be identified by a static analysis tool?

Which of the following statements describe why error guessing is a useful test design technique? a. It can help derive test cases based on analysis of specification documents. b. It can identify tests not easily captured by formal techniques. c. It can make good use of tester’s experience and available defect data. d. It is a cheaper alternative to more formal test design techniques.
