Which of the following answers describes a test condition?
a) A distinguishing characteristic of a component or system
b) A testable aspect of a component or system identified as a basis for testing
c) The degree to which a software product provides functions which meet stated and implied
needs when the software is used under specified conditions
d) test cases designed to execute combinations of conditions and actions resulting from them -
answer✔✔B
Which of the following statements is a valid objective for testing?
a) The test should start as late as possible so that development had enough time to create a good
product
b) To validate whether the test object works as expected by the users and other stakeholders
c) To prove that all possible defects are identified
d) To prove that any remaining defects will not cause any failures - answer✔✔B
Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between testing and
debugging?
a) Testing identifies the source of defects; debugging analyzes the defects and proposes
prevention activities
b) Dynamic testing shows failures caused by defects; debugging eliminates the defects, which
are the source of failures
c) Testing does not remove faults; but debugging removes defects that cause the faults
d) Dynamic testing prevents the causes of failures; debugging removes the failures -
answer✔✔B
Which one of the statements below describes the most common situation for a failure discovered
during testing or in production?
a) The product crashed when the user selected an option in a dialog box
b) The wrong version of a compiled source code file was included in the build
c) The computation algorithm used the wrong input variables
d) The developer misinterpreted the requirement for the algorithm - answer✔✔A
Mr. Test has been testing software applications on mobile devices for a period of 5 years. He has
a wealth of experience in testing mobile applications and achieves better results in a shorter time
than others. over several months, Mr. Test did not modify the existing automated test cases and
did not create any new test cases. this leads to fewer and fewer defects being found by executing
the tests. what principle of testing did Mr. Test not observe?
a) Testing depends on the environment
b) Exhaustive testing is not possible
c) Repeating of the same tests will not find new defects
d) Defects cluster together - answer✔✔C
In what way can testing be part of Quality Assurance?
a) It ensures that requirements are detailed enough
b) Testing reduces the risk of poor software quality
c) It ensures that standards in the organization are followed
d) It measures the quality of software in terms of number of executed test cases - answer✔✔B
Which of the following activities is part of the main activity "test analysis" in the test process?
a) Identifying any required infrastructure and tools
b) Creating test suites from test scripts
c) Analyzing lessons learned for process improvement
d) Evaluating the test basis for testability - answer✔✔D
