Software Testing Quiz

In customer testing, which factor is not typically assessed?

• Conformance to system specification

• Performance under expected user load

• Developer's internal documentation quality

• User satisfaction with system behavior

What makes system testing fundamentally different from component testing?

• It only tests the user interface

• It requires independent testers

• It checks the interactions between multiple components

• It is performed before component testing

Which testing phase is most likely to detect missing requirements?

• Component testing

• System testing

• Customer testing

• Regression testing

Why is change tolerance more effective than change anticipation in reducing rework?

• It eliminates the need for initial planning

• It allows modifications without major disruptions

• It relies on predictive models rather than user feedback

• It ensures that all changes are implemented before testing

Which of the following is a hidden risk in incremental delivery?

• Late integration of critical system components

• Customers gaining early access to functional software

• High-priority features being delivered first

• Continuous testing of individual increments

Why can incremental delivery be risky for contract-based projects?

• Customers may refuse to accept increments

• The full system specification is not defined upfront

• It forces rapid requirement changes

• Developers cannot test the system incrementally

Why does incremental delivery reduce risk compared to full system delivery?

• It eliminates the need for detailed specifications

• Customers can reject increments they don't like

• The highest-priority functionality is tested and used first

• Developers can skip testing early increments

Which phase is not explicitly part of process improvement under the maturity approach?

• Process measurement

• Process analysis

• Process transformation

• Process change

Why do agile teams avoid creating full system specifications upfront?

• To reduce documentation overhead

• Because customers don't know what they want

• To allow requirements to evolve with user feedback

• To force developers to improvise solutions

Which factor is crucial in distinguishing agile from a maturity-based process improvement?

• Use of automation in development

• Measuring process effectiveness quantitatively

• Eliminating process bottlenecks

• Prioritizing rapid response to change
