Higher SDD - Testing Stage

What is the purpose of a comprehensive test plan at Higher level?

• To test only a few functional requirements

• To test the program for logic errors only

• To test every functional requirement to ensure the program works correctly

• To test the program for syntax errors only

What is the main difference between a breakpoint and a watchpoint?

• Breakpoints are used to stop the program when a condition is met, while watchpoints are used to inspect variables

• Breakpoints are used to inspect variables, while watchpoints are used to stop the program when a condition is met

• Breakpoints are used for syntax errors, while watchpoints are used for logic errors

• Breakpoints are used for logic errors, while watchpoints are used for syntax errors

What type of error will NOT stop the program and is usually a result of a programming error?

• Syntax error

• Execution error

• Logic error

• Debugging error

What is the purpose of a dry run in debugging?

• To test the program for logic errors

• To inspect variables for syntax errors

• To map out the program step-by-step as if you are the interpreter

• To stop the program when a condition is met

What is the purpose of a trace table in debugging?

• To inspect variables for syntax errors

• To test the program for logic errors

• To map out the program step-by-step as if you are the interpreter

• To stop the program when a condition is met

In what format is a trace-table generally conducted?

• On paper

• On a computer

Insert an answer - This technique involves stopping the program where there is a condition to inspect changes to any variables

​ (a)   errors will not halt the execution of the program, but ​ (b)   will have produced an incorrect result. ​ (c)   errors will prevent the program from running altogether, and are usually caused by incorrect use of the ​ (d)   . ​ (e)   errors will stop the program when it reaches an error and cause the program to crash. a lack of input validation can cause this error
