The cost of fixing a defect increases the later it is found in the software development life cycle. Which principle of testing does this relate to?

A tester runs the same set of test cases repeatedly and finds no new defects. This is an example of:

Not all parts of a system contain defects equally. Which principle states that most defects are found in a few modules?

Testing cannot prove that a system is 100% defect-free, only that defects exist. This is an example of which principle?

Software developed for an e-commerce site will require different testing than software for a medical device. This is an example of:

A company only involves testers at the end of the development cycle, leading to costly fixes. What principle was violated?

The belief that fixing all defects will result in a perfect system is incorrect. This relates to which principle?

What is the main reason exhaustive testing is impossible?

Risk analysis should be used to prioritize test cases because:

The primary reason testing is necessary is because:

Which of the following is NOT a reason why testing is important?

Which of the following is an example of reducing risk of failure through testing?

A customer reports that the software crashes when performing a transaction. Proper testing would have helped in:

Testing helps in preventing defects by:

A team tests their software rigorously, leading to fewer reported issues post-release. This demonstrates how testing helps in:

Which testing activity directly contributes to building confidence in the system?

The earlier testing is performed, the more it contributes to:

A CEO asks why the company spends money on testing. The best response is:

A banking application must handle transactions without errors. Which testing benefit is most relevant?

An incorrect formula was used in a payroll application, leading to wrong salary calculations. This is an example of:

A developer misinterprets the requirements and writes incorrect code. This is an example of:

A software module has a known defect but still works correctly in all scenarios. What is missing?

A user reports that the application crashes when performing a specific action. This is a:

Which of the following can directly cause a failure?

A tester notices that requirements are constantly changing, causing defects. This is an example of:

The biggest contributor to defects in software development is usually:

Rushed software releases often result in more defects. This is due to:

A developer was confused by vague requirements and implemented the wrong feature. This is an example of:

Which of the following factors contributes to software defects?

Which of the following statements best describes software quality?

How does testing contribute to software quality?

What is the ultimate goal of testing in terms of quality?

A software product meets all technical specifications but fails to satisfy users. What aspect of quality is missing?

Software testing helps ensure:

This refers to an overarching plan or high-level document that describes testing levels, processes, and strategies within an organization. It ensures testing is structured and standardized.

This consists of the required elements and prerequisites before testing can begin and defines when testing should stop.

A collection of documents from which system requirements can be inferred; serves as a reference point for designing test cases.

This is a broad term for all artifacts (documents, scripts, data) created during the testing process, including test cases, logs, and reports.

A structured, ordered set of test cases where the output of one serves as the input for another.

A document that describes the steps needed to execute a test, including setup, execution, and expected results.

The act of determining whether the foundation of a system (requirements, documents) can support an effective testing process.

A specific function, feature, or characteristic that can be verified through one or more test cases.

A controlled setting that includes software, hardware, and tools needed to perform testing activities.

A single, detailed set of input values and expected outcomes designed to verify a specific system function.

This step involves defining test objectives, identifying risks, and setting up schedules and required resources.

Monitoring test progress, tracking deviations, and taking corrective actions fall under which process?

Reviewing system documentation and identifying potential test conditions occur in which phase?

Writing test cases, preparing test data, and setting up the test environment are activities within:

Running test cases, logging results, and reporting discrepancies occur during:

After executing test cases, stakeholders need to decide whether more testing is required. This is part of:

This phase ensures all planned test deliverables have been completed and archived for future use.

Identifying test conditions and designing appropriate test cases occurs in:

Which phase involves verifying if test environment setup is correct before actual testing begins?

Before the final product release, checking whether testing met pre-defined success criteria happens in:

When testers create a structured collection of test cases that are dependent on one another, they are performing:

Corrective actions for unexpected results during testing are taken in:

Writing detailed logs of test activities to ensure traceability and accountability is part of:

Creating a report summarizing the results of testing efforts for stakeholders happens during:

Ensuring that lessons learned from testing are documented for future projects is part of:
