Understanding Software Testing Principles

What is the primary purpose of software testing?

• To increase the speed of software development

• To identify and fix defects in the software

• To reduce the cost of software development

• To enhance the user interface design

Which of the following is a type of non-functional testing?

• Unit Testing

• Integration Testing

• Performance Testing

• Regression Testing

In software testing, what does the term "black-box testing" refer to?

• Testing the internal structures or workings of an application

• Testing the software without any knowledge of the internal workings

• Testing the software with access to the source code

• Testing the software using automated tools

Which of the following is a common tool used for automated testing?

• Microsoft Word

• Selenium

• Adobe Photoshop

• Google Chrome

What is the main goal of regression testing?

• To test the software's performance under load

• To ensure new code changes do not adversely affect existing functionality

• To test the software's user interface

• To test the software's security features

Which of the following best describes "unit testing"?

• Testing the entire application as a whole

• Testing individual components or functions of the software

• Testing the software's compatibility with different operating systems

• Testing the software's user acceptance

What is the primary focus of user acceptance testing (UAT)?

• To verify the software's technical performance

• To ensure the software meets business requirements and is ready for use

• To test the software's security vulnerabilities

• To check the software's compatibility with hardware

Which of the following is NOT a level of software testing?

• Unit Testing

• System Testing

• Alpha Testing

• Integration Testing

What is the main advantage of using automated testing over manual testing?

• Automated testing is always cheaper than manual testing

• Automated testing can be performed without any human intervention

• Automated testing is more flexible than manual testing

• Automated testing can execute tests more quickly and consistently

In the context of software testing, what does the acronym "QA" stand for?

• Quick Analysis

• Quality Assurance

• Quantitative Assessment

• Query Analysis
