Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
What is the primary purpose of software testing?
To fix all bugs in the software
To show that the software is perfect
To demonstrate that the software is free of defects
To identify defects and reduce the risk of software failures
Which of the following is NOT one of the main objectives of testing according to the ISTQB Foundation syllabus?
To evaluate work products such as requirements and code
To verify whether all specified requirements have been fulfilled
To guarantee that the software is 100% bug-free
To find failures and defects
What is the difference between verification and validation in software testing?
Verification is done by users, validation is done by testers
Verification checks if the software meets specifications, validation checks if it meets user needs
Verification is done after development, validation is done during development
There is no difference; the terms are interchangeable
Which of the following best describes the relationship between errors, defects, and failures?
Errors cause defects, which may lead to failures
Failures cause defects, which may lead to errors
Defects cause errors, which may lead to failures
They are all synonyms for the same concept
What is quality assurance (QA) in the context of software development?
The process of finding and fixing bugs in software
The act of running tests on software
Part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled
A synonym for software testing
Which of the following is NOT one of the seven principles of software testing mentioned in the material?
Testing shows the presence of defects, not their absence
Exhaustive testing is impossible
Testing always improves software quality
Early testing saves time and money
What is the "pesticide paradox" in software testing?
Bugs are attracted to certain types of software
Repeated use of the same tests leads to fewer defects being found over time
Testers become immune to finding defects after prolonged exposure
Software becomes more resistant to testing over time
Why is early testing considered beneficial?
It allows more time for exhaustive testing
It saves time and money by catching defects earlier in the development process
It guarantees a bug-free final product
It eliminates the need for later stage testing
What is debugging in the context of software development?
The process of writing test cases
The process of finding, analyzing, and removing the causes of failures in software
The process of running automated tests
The process of documenting software requirements
What is meant by "phase containment" in software testing?
The practice of isolating testers from developers
The extent to which defects are removed in the phase where they are introduced
The process of categorizing defects by severity
The act of postponing all testing until the end of development
