Defects in interfaces and interactions 4. Defects in the whole test object Which of the following list correctly matches test levels from the Foundation syllabus with the defect focus options given above?

c) 1 = component test; 2 = acceptance test; 3 = integration test; 4 = system test
d) 1 = integration test; 2 = system test; 3 = component test; 4 = acceptance test
A mass market operating system software product is designed to run on any PC hardware with an x86-family processor. You are running a set of tests to look for defects related to support of the various PCs that use such a processor and to build confidence that important PC brands will work. What type of test are you performing?
a) Performance test
b) Processor test
c) Functional test
d) Portability test
During an Agile development effort, a product owner discovers a previously-unknown regulatory requirement that applies to most of the user stories within a particular epic. The user stories are updated to provide for the necessary changes in software behavior. The programmers on the team are modifying the code appropriately. As a tester on the team, what types of tests will you run?
a) Confirmation tests
b) Regression tests
c) Functional tests
d) Change-related tests
In a formal review, what is the role name for the participant who runs an inspection meeting?
a) Facilitator
b) Programmer
c) Author
d) Project manager
You are reading a user story in the product backlog to prepare for a meeting with the product owner and a developer, noting potential defects as you go. Which of the following statements is true about this activity?
a) It is not a static test, because static testing involves execution of the test object
b) It is not a static test, because static testing is always performed using a tool
c) It is a static test, because any defects you find could be found cheaper during dynamic testing
d) It is a static test, because static testing does not involve execution of the test object
During a period of intensive project overtime, a system architecture document is sent to various project participants, announcing a previously-unplanned technical review to occur in one week. No adjustments are made to the participants’ list of assigned tasks. Based on this information alone, which of the following is a factor for review success that is MISSING?
a) Appropriate review type
b) Adequate time to prepare
c) Sufficient metrics to evaluate the author
d) Well-managed review meeting
You are working as a tester on an Agile team and have participated in over two dozen user story refinement sessions with the product owner and the developers on the team at the start of each iteration. As the reviews have gotten more effective at detecting defects in user stories and the product owner more adept at correcting those defects, you and the team notice that the team’s velocity, as shown in your burndown charts, has started to increase. Which of the following is a benefit of static testing that MOST DIRECTLY applies to increased velocity?
a) Increasing total cost of quality
b) Reducing testing cost
c) Increasing development productivity
d) Reducing total cost of quality

a) The coverage of condition outcomes
b) Decision coverage is a synonym for statement coverage
c) The coverage of executable statements
d) The coverage of decision outcomes
Prior to an iteration planning session, you are studying a user story and its acceptance criteria, deriving test conditions and associated test cases from the user story as a way of applying the principle of early QA and test. What test technique are you applying?

You are testing a mobile app that allows customers to access and manage their bank accounts. You are running a test suite that involves evaluating each screen and each field on each screen against a general list of user interface best practices, derived from a popular book on the topic, that maximize attractiveness, ease-of-use, and accessibility for such apps.

a) Specification-based
b) Exploratory
c) Checklist-based
d) Error guessing
You are testing an unattended gasoline pump that only accepts credit cards. Once the credit card is validated, the pump nozzle placed into the tank, and the desired grade selected, the customer enters the desired amount of fuel in gallons using the keypad. The keypad only allows the entry of digits. Fuel is sold in tenths (0.1) of a gallon, up to 50.0 gallons. Which of the following is a minimum set of desired amounts that covers the equivalence partitions for this input?
a) 0.0, 20.0, 60.0

You are testing an e-commerce system that sells cooking supplies such as spices, flour, and other items in bulk.
