If a system has been tested and only a few defects have been found, what can we conclude about the state of the system?
a) The system may be defect free but the testing done cannot guarantee that this is true.
b) The system is defect free and further testing would therefore be a waste of resources.
c) It depends what the system is designed to do.
d) Further testing should be considered but this should be focussed on areas of highest risk because it would not be possible to test everything.
e) Testing should be curtailed because it is yielding no value.
A. a, c and d
B. b, c and d
C. a, d and e
D. b, c and e
Which characteristics BEST describe a walkthrough?
A. Documented, includes peers and experts
B. Formal process collects metrics
C. Defined roles, led by trained moderator
D. Led by the author, may be documented
Why should expected results be defined before execution?
A. To assist in test automation
B. To improve test efficiency
C. To reduce the possibility of incorrect results
D. To improve design of the software
Which of the following is MOST clearly a characteristic of structure based (white-box) techniques?
A. Test cases are independent of each other
B. Test cases can be easily automated
C. Test cases are derived systematically from the delivered code
D. Test cases are derived systematically from specifications
Arrive-and-Go airline wants to clarify its baggage handling policy, whilst maximising revenues, and will introduce the following tariffs for all baggage per individual customer (weights are rounded up to the nearest 0.1Kg):
The first 2Kg will be carried free of charge. The next 10 Kg will be carried for a flat charge of 0. An additional 15Kg will be charged a total charge of 7.
Luggage over this amount will be charged at ? per Kg, up to a maximum of 150Kg per person. No passenger may take more that 150Kg with them. Which of the following would constitute boundary values for baggage weights in the price calculation?
A. 0, 5.0, 10.0, 17.0
B. 2.0,9.9, 15.0, 26.9
C. 1.9, 12.0, 14.9, 150.0
D. 2.0, 12.1, 27.0, 150.1
An automated air-conditioner is programmed to turn its heating unit on when the temperature falls below 17 and to turn its refrigeration unit on when the temperature exceeds 26. The air- conditioner is designed to operate at temperatures between -10 and +40. Given the above specification,the temperature exceeds 26. The air-conditioner is designed to operate at temperatures between -10 and +40?. Given the above specification, which of the following sets of values shows that the equivalence partition test design technique has been used correctly?
A. -11, -11?, -1, -1?, 18, 18?, 27, 27?, 5151?
B. -11, -11?, -1, -1?, 12, 12?, 18, 18?, 27, 27?, 5151?
C. -11, -11?, 18, 18?, 5151?
D. -1, -1?, 12, 12?, 18, 18?, 27 27?
Which activity in the Fundamental Test Process creates test suites for efficient test execution?
A. Implementation and execution
B. Planning and control
