Testing Methods in Software Development

What is dry run testing?

• Testing software with a dehumidifier
• Manually tracing code without using software
• Running tests on a dry erase board
• Testing code in a desert environment

What is the main purpose of dry run testing?

• To identify execution errors
• To identify logic errors
• To test the software's moisture resistance
• To speed up the testing process

How does walkthrough testing differ from dry run testing?

• It uses pre-defined test cases
• It is done entirely by computers
• It only tests for syntax errors
• It is performed in a walking motion

Who typically participates in walkthrough testing?

• Only the lead developer
• Developers' peers, managers, and team members
• End users exclusively
• External auditors

What is the primary focus of white box testing?

• Testing the user interface
• Testing the structure and logic of every path through a program module
• Testing only the inputs and outputs
• Testing the software's color scheme

In black box testing, what is the main consideration?

• The internal workings of the code
• The color of the testing environment
• What goes in and what comes out of the procedure
• The number of lines in the code

Why is black box testing sometimes referred to as 'viewing the code as being in a black box'?

• Because it's performed in a dark room
• Because the tester doesn't need to know the internal workings of the code
• Because it only tests for errors in black-colored text
• Because it's always performed at night

What is the main difference between white box and black box testing in terms of who can perform them?

• White box requires developers, black box doesn't necessarily
• Black box requires developers, white box doesn't
• Both require developers equally
• Neither requires developers

What is the purpose of integration testing?

• To test individual modules in isolation
• To ensure modules can run effectively together
• To test the user interface
• To check for syntax errors

What is a 'stub' in the context of software testing?

• A short piece of code
• A temporary replacement for a called module
• A type of software bug
• A testing environment
