ISTQB Question Bank 341 to 380

What is the main reason for testing software before releasing it?

• To show that system will work after release
• To decide when the software is of sufficient quality to release
• To find as many bugs as possible before release
• To give information for a risk based decision about release

Testware(test cases, test dataset)

• Needs configuration management just like requirements, design and code
• Should be newly constructed for each new version of the software
• Is needed only until the software is released into production or use
• Does not need to be documented and commented, as it does not form part of the released software system

• IEEE829
• IEEE610
• BS7925-1
• BS7925-2
