In which SDLC model does the rule 'for every SDLC activity there's a corresponding test activity' hold?

• In sequential, incremental, and alternative SDLC models

• Only in sequential SDLC model

• Only in iterative SDLC models

• Only in iterative and incremental SDLC models

Which of the following is not an example of the shift left approach?

• Writing a test script before setting up the configuration management process

• Executing a performance efficiency test for a component during component testing

• Writing a component test before the corresponding code is written

• Reviewing the user requirement before they are formally accepted by stakeholders

Which tests are executed as regression tests based on the given test execution history?

• Only test case 1 and test case 3

• Only test case 2 and test case 3

• Only test case 1 and test case 2

• Only test case 5 and test case 7

What is the main focus of the shift left approach?

• Skipping certain testing activities

• Preponing activities to an earlier stage

• Delaying activities to the last moment

• Repeating the same test multiple times

When conducting regression testing, what type of tests are repeated?

• Tests that have previously failed

• Tests that are randomly selected

• Tests that have never been executed before

• Tests that have passed in the past

What is the purpose of retesting in the context of software testing?

• To confirm that defects have been fixed

• To test the software on different devices

• To test new features

• To test only critical functionalities

Which characteristic of testing states that 'for every SDLC activity there's a corresponding test activity'?

• Correctness

• Completeness

• Effectiveness

• Efficiency

What is the key difference between retesting and regression testing?

• Retesting focuses on new features, while regression testing focuses on existing features

• Retesting is done by developers, while regression testing is done by testers

• Retesting is manual, while regression testing is automated

• Retesting confirms defect fixes, while regression testing ensures no new defects are introduced

When is performance efficiency testing typically conducted in the SDLC?

• During component testing

• During system testing

• After the software is stable

• Before user acceptance testing

What is the primary goal of the shift left approach in software testing?

• To delay the detection of defects

• To identify defects earlier in the SDLC

• To reduce the number of test cases

• To increase the cost of testing
