Path Testing Quiz

What is the primary goal of Path Testing in software testing?

• To test user interfaces for usability

• To execute every possible path in the program at least once

• To validate system performance under load

• To ensure compatibility with multiple platforms

In a Control Flow Graph, what does a 'Process Block' represent?

• A branching decision point

• A loop with multiple conditions

• A straight-line sequence of statements without branches

• A condition-based junction

Which of the following is NOT an element of a Control Flow Graph?

• Process Blocks

• Decisions

• Junctions

• Actors

What is the main difference between a Flowchart and a Control Flow Graph?

• A Flowchart includes detailed algorithm steps, while a Control Flow Graph focuses on control flow structure

• A Flowchart is used for testing, while a Control Flow Graph is used for documentation

• A Control Flow Graph includes actors, while a Flowchart does not

• A Flowchart includes loops, while a Control Flow Graph does not

What is the purpose of the 'Bug Assumption' in Path Testing?

• To identify syntax errors in the program

• To ensure that all program paths are free of bugs

• To check if coding errors lead to unintended paths

• To validate the user interface design

Which Path Testing criterion focuses on testing all decision points in a program?

• Path Testing (Pinf)

• Statement Testing (P1)

• Branch Testing (P2)

• Loop Testing

In Path Testing, what are 'Nodes' and 'Links'?

• Nodes represent variables, and Links represent their values

• Nodes are decision points, and Links are connections between them

• Nodes are classes, and Links are methods between classes

• Nodes are external actors, and Links are system interactions

Which type of loop is described as being difficult to test due to multiple conditions or interdependencies?

• Nested Loops

• Concatenated Loops

• Horrible Loops

• Linear Loops

What does 'Statement Testing (P1)' ensure during Path Testing?

• All decision points are covered

• All statements in the code are executed at least once

• All possible paths in the program are tested

• All loops execute without errors

In a Control Flow Graph, what is the function of a 'Junction'?

• To split control flow into multiple paths

• To merge multiple paths into a single path

• To execute loops iteratively

• To handle conditional case statements
