Chapter 7 , Testing

What is the process that describes ‘how’ testing should be done? It includes processes for identifying test cases by listing the steps of the defined test conditions.

• Analyze

• design

• questioners

• implementation

What is the process called in which rules are applied to an input field using acceptable and unacceptable values to test acceptance and rejection?

• Authentication

• Confirmation

• Justification

• Validation

Each data entity in the data structure is stored as a ​ (a)   in the file or database. Each field is assigned a data ​ (b)  

and field ​ (c)   .

• field
• type
• length

Drag the words into the correct boxes

​​ (a)   – Test data that is within the acceptable boundaries.

​ (b)   – Test data that will produce an error message as it is wrong.

​ (c)   – Data that is on the acceptable limit of a range of numbers. For example, 1 and 31 for the month of January.

​ (d)   – Type of testing which the user tests to see if there are other issues or problems.

​ (e)   – A test that sets out the ‘how’ style of questioning such as – ‘How many cycles of testing do we need?’

• Normal
• Abnormal
• Extreme
• Acceptance
• Plan

What is the name of the testing method in which the users test the system to see if there are any further anomalies?

• Normal

• Plan

• Acceptance

• Abnormal

What is the data type that is at the limits of the range of normal values that the system should accept and process?

• Normal data

• Extreme data

• Abnormal data

• All three types of data listed

The test plan should make sure that the software:

1. Meets the ​ (a)   that the user specified.

2. Responds in a correct way to any kind of ​ (b)   .

3. Performs as intended to specified ​ (c)   .

4. Can operate in all intended ​ (d)   .

5. Achieves the results that the ​ (e)   specified.

• requirements
• input
• standards
• environments
• stakeholder

Once individual modules have been thoroughly tested they will be integrated together so that the whole system and any module interdependencies can be tested. What is this process called?

• Integration testing

• Merge testing

• Acceptance testing

• Module testing

What is the set of guidelines that should be followed to complete the test objectives and to execute the types of test outlined in the testing plan called?

• TEST plan

• test strategy

• Module testing

• Merge testing

The test strategy addresses the ‘what’ questions, such as:

1. What are the high-level testing ​ (a)   ?

2. What is the overall ​ (b)   (i.e. what type of tests will be undertaken)?

3. What are the ​ (c)   (i.e. what tests are not included)?

4. What are the ​ (d)   and how will they be overcome?

5. What are the key inputs and key ​ (e)   ?

• objectives.
• scope
• constraints
• risks
• deliverables
