Software Dev & Testing Quiz

Which of the following is a principle of Agile Development?

• Comprehensive documentation is more valuable than working software.

• Following a plan is more important than responding to changes.

• Customer collaboration is more important than contract negotiation.

• Processes and tools are more important than individuals and interactions.

In the context of software testing, what distinguishes Alpha Testing from Beta Testing?

• Alpha Testing is conducted by end-users, whereas Beta Testing is conducted by developers.

• Alpha Testing is performed in a controlled environment, whereas Beta Testing is performed in a real user environment.

• Alpha Testing focuses on functional errors, whereas Beta Testing focuses on non-functional requirements.

• Alpha Testing is open to the public, whereas Beta Testing is strictly by invitation.

What is the primary focus of Black Box Testing?

• The internal logic and structure of the code.

• The external interfaces and functionalities of the software.

• The performance and load handling capacity of the software.

• The security vulnerabilities within the software.

Which of the following best describes the Waterfall Model?

• It is a non-linear development approach that emphasizes flexibility and customer feedback.

• It is a sequential design process, often used in software development processes, where progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards through the phases.

• It is a cyclical development model that focuses on early prototype releases and iterative design.

• It is a risk-driven process model that combines elements of both the iterative and waterfall models.

What is a key feature of Extreme Programming (XP)?

• Heavy emphasis on upfront planning and design.

• Frequent releases in short development cycles, which improves productivity and introduces checkpoints where new customer requirements can be adopted.

• No need for code reviews or testing, as the focus is on the speed of development.

• Development in large, infrequent releases to ensure thorough testing and integration.

In Scrum, what role is responsible for removing obstacles that impede the team's progress?

• The Product Owner

• The Scrum Master

• The Development Team

• The Stakeholder

The Spiral Model is particularly useful for projects that:

• Are small and have very well-defined requirements.

• Require flexibility and risk management due to uncertain requirements.

• Do not require customer feedback or involvement.

• Need to be developed and delivered in less than a month.

What is the main advantage of White Box Testing?

• It does not require any knowledge of the internal workings of the application.

• It is less time-consuming than Black Box Testing.

• It enables the tester to identify hidden errors and problems within the code.

• It can be performed by anyone, not just developers.

In software testing, what are Test Tables primarily used for?

• To document test cases and the expected results for software functionality.

• To create a database schema for the application being tested.

• To organize the codebase for easier white box testing.

• To track the progress of software development against deadlines.

Which of the following is a characteristic of Beta Testing?

• It is conducted by the developers within the organization.

• It involves testing the product in the internal environment before release.

• It is performed by real users in a real environment.

• It focuses exclusively on identifying security vulnerabilities.
