What is the purpose of testing?

• To debug any errors in a program

• To ensure that a program meets its design specifications

• To ensure that a program performs its intended tasks

• To prove the operability and inoperability of a program under certain conditions

What is the main difference between exhaustive testing and debugging?

• Exhaustive testing involves detecting and eliminating errors in software code, while debugging involves exploring software in individual situations and states.

• Exhaustive testing involves exploring software in individual situations and states, while debugging involves detecting and eliminating errors in software code.

• Exhaustive testing and debugging are the same thing.

• Exhaustive testing involves testing software in all possible situations and states, while debugging involves figuring out what the computer is actually doing.

According to software testing theory, which of the following are reasons for errors in software development?

• Time pressures and human fallibility

• Lack of resources and inefficient project management

• Inexperienced project participants or new technologies

• Miscommunication

• Complexity and misunderstandings

Which testing methodology is best suited for projects with changing requirements?

• Waterfall

• V-Model

• Agile

• Spiral

What was the primary reason for the emergence of software testing?

• The need for specialized testing roles

• The development of systematic testing methodologies

• The increasing complexity of software systems

• The evolution of computers and software

What are the consequences of software errors?

• Lower productivity, decreased user satisfaction, and poor software quality

• Financial losses, legal liabilities, and safety threats

• Increased software complexity, security breaches, and data loss

Which of the following is not a phase of the STLC model?

• Test environment setup

• Test execution

• Test planning

• Test feedback and improvement

Which of the following statements accurately describes entry and exit criteria in the STLC?

• Entry criteria refers to the results that must be achieved before starting a test phase, while exit criteria refers to the test conditions that must be satisfied before exiting a test phase.

• Entry criteria refers to the prerequisites for starting a test phase, while exit criteria refers to the deliverables that must be completed before exiting a test phase.

• Entry criteria refers to the deliverables that must be completed before exiting a test phase, while exit criteria refer to the prerequisites for starting a test phase.

• Entry criteria refers to the test conditions that must be satisfied before starting a test phase, while exit criteria refers to the results that must be achieved before exiting a test phase.

Which of the following is not a common challenge faced by the QA team during the SDLC?

• Ensuring that the software is bug-free and error-free

• Managing testing schedules and timelines

• Ensuring that the software meets user requirements

• Providing training and support to end users

The pesticide paradox refers to:

• The tendency of testers to continue repeating the same tests, which leads to diminishing returns.

• The notion that finding and fixing a large number of defects will ensure the success of a system.

• The expectation that testers should find all possible defects in a system.

• The idea that testing is always context-dependent and must be done differently in different contexts.
