ESP Chapter 9

What is software testing?

• A process of executing a program using data that simulates user inputs

• A process of developing a program using data that simulates user inputs

• A process of analyzing a program without executing it

• A process of designing a program without user inputs

What does it mean if a test fails?

• The program is doing what it is supposed to do

• The program is not doing what it is supposed to do

• The program is not functioning at all

• The program is functioning perfectly

What are the two causes of program bugs?

• Programming errors and design errors

• Programming errors and understanding errors

• Implementation errors and understanding errors

• Design errors and implementation errors

What is functional testing?

• Testing the functionality of the overall system

• Testing individual program units

• Testing the user interface of the system

• Testing the performance of the system

What is the aim of system testing?

• To check for unexpected interactions between features

• To test individual program units

• To test the functionality of the overall system

• To test the responsiveness of the system

What is the benefit of test-driven development?

• Simplifies debugging

• Encourages radical program change

• Discourages writing unnecessary code

• Focuses on the problem rather than the tests

What is the aim of security testing?

• To test the responsiveness of the system

• To check for unexpected interactions between features

• To test the functionality of the overall system

• To find vulnerabilities that may be exploited by an attacker

What is a risk-based approach to security testing?

• Developing tests to demonstrate that the system is sufficiently secure

• Identifying common risks and developing tests to demonstrate that the system protects itself from these risks

• Using automated tools to scan the system for known vulnerabilities

• Analyzing security risks to assess how they might arise

What does it mean if a test passes in test-driven development?

• The code is incorrect

• The code is correct

• The code needs refactoring

• The code is incomplete

What is the purpose of automated feature testing?

• To test the system as a surrogate user

• To test the functionality of the overall system

• To access features directly through an API

• To test individual program units
