What would you describe as a “good” or “successful” test?

• A test that proves the system works most of the time

• A test that reveals errors in the software

• A test that covers all possible inputs

Do you need to know how the program works, in order to test it properly?

• Yes, it is essential to know how the program works

• No, you just need to know what the program is supposed to do
