ISTQB EXAMfind as many failures as possible so that underlying defects are IDed and fixed early -
answer Component Testing
confirm system works as expected and satisfies requirements - answer Acceptance
Testing
development activity that finds, analyzes, and fixes defects - answer debugging
adherence to proper processes, in order to provide confidence that the appropriate
levels of quality is achieved - answer Quality Assurance (QA)
mistake ex- hand pushing the stack of dominos - answer Error
fault or bug Ex- dominos falling down - answer Defect
-Testing shows the presence of defects, not their absence
-Exhaustive Testing is impossible
-Early testing saves time and money
-defects cluster together
-Beware of the pesticide paradox
-Testing is context dependent
-Absence-of-errors is a fallacy - answerSeven Testing Principles
testing can show that defects are present, but cannot prove that there are no defects -
answerTesting shows the presence of defects, not their absence
testing all combos of inputs and preconditions is not feasible except for trivial cases -
answerExhaustive testing is impossible
to find defects early, both static and dynamic test activities should be started as early as
possible in thee software development lifecycle - answerEarly testing saves time and
money
a small number of modules usually contains most of the defects discovered during pre-
release testing - answerdefects cluster together
if the same tests are repeated over and over again, eventually these tests no longer find
any new defects.ms - answerbeware of the pesticide paradox
, Preventing defects - answerWhen test cases are designed early in the lifecycle,
verifying the test basis via the test design, which common test objective is being
achieved?
during all the activities - answerwhen following the fundamental test process, when
should the test control activity take place?
test analysis and design - answerDesigning and prioritizing high level test cases occurs
during which activity in the fundamental test process?
test are designed by the person who wrote the code - answerwhat is the lowest level of
independence?
a failure during dynamic testing - answera developer making a mistake which causes a
defect is an example of..
a developer finds and fixes a defect - answerExample of debugging
in the case of trivial software - answerwhen is the one time exhaustive testing is feasible
as soon as a draft is available - answerWhen should testers start reviewing project
documents?
All levels ( Unit and integration, integration and system, system and acceptance) -
answerWhen should functional tests be executed?
All levels ( unit and integration, integration and system, system and acceptance) -
answerWhen should non-functional test be executed?
a component in production is modified, migrated, or retired - answerList of triggers for
maintenance testing
preparing functional and non-functional test cases - answerIn a V-model lifecycle, what
should testers be doing when the design documents are available?
non-functional - answerUsability testing is an example of which type of testing?
The scribe - answerin a formal review, which role is normally responsible for
documenting all the open issues?
piece of dead code - answertype of issue that is best found in static analysis
static testing - answerwhich testing technique would be most effective in determining
and improving the maintainability of the code (assuming developers fix what is found)?
