Given the following example defects: i. Two different parts of the design specification disagree due to the complexity of the design ii. A response time is too long and so makes users lose patience iii. A path in the code cannot be reached during execution iv. A variable is declared but never subsequently used in the program v. The amount of memory needed by the program to generate a report is too high Which of the following BEST identifies example defects that could be found by static testing (rather than dynamic testing)?

Which of the following is a benefit of early and frequent stakeholder feedback?

Given the following review types: 1. Technical review 2. Informal review 3. Inspection 4. Walkthrough And the following descriptions:

Which of the following is a factor that contributes to a successful review?

What is the MAIN difference between black-box test techniques and experience-based test techniques?

You are testing a PIN validator, which accepts valid PINs and rejects invalid PINs. A PIN is a sequence of digits. A PIN is valid if it consists of four digits, at least two of which are different. You have identified the following valid equivalence partitions: Variable: PIN code length  The partition “length correct” - four-digit PINs  The partition “length incorrect” - PINs with length other than 4 Variable: Number of different digits  The partition “number of different digits correct” - PINs with at least two different digits  The partition “number of different digits incorrect” - PINs with all digits being the same Which of the following is a MINIMUM set of input test data that covers all identified equivalence partitions?

W A developer was asked to implement the following business rule: INPUT: value (integer number) IF (value ≤ 100 OR value ≥ 200) THEN write “value incorrect” ELSE write “value OK” You design the test cases using 2-value boundary value analysis. Which of the following sets of test inputs achieves the greatest coverage?

You are working on a project to develop a system to analyze driving test results. You have been asked to design test cases based on the following decision table. R1 R2 R3 C1: First attempt at the exam? - - F C2: Theoretical exam passed? T F - C3: Practical exam passed? T - F Issue a driving license? X Request additional driving lessons? X Request to take the exam again? X What test data will show that there are contradictory rules in the decision table?

You are designing test cases based on the following state transition diagram: What is the MINIMUM number of test cases required to achieve 100% valid transitions coverage?

You want to apply branch testing to the code represented by the following control flow graph. How many coverage items do you need to test?

How can white-box testing be useful in support of black-box testing?

Consider the following list:  Correct input not accepted  Incorrect input accepted  Wrong output format  Division by zero What test technique is MOST PROBABLY used by the tester who uses this list when performing testing?

Which of the following BEST describes how using checklist-based testing can result in increased coverage?

Which of the following provides the BEST example of a scenario-oriented acceptance criterion?

You are using acceptance test-driven development and designing test cases based on the following user story: As a Regular or Special user, I want to be able to use my electronic floor card, to access specific floors. Acceptance Criteria: AC1: Regular users have access to floors 1 to 3 AC2: Floor 4 is only accessible to Special users AC3: Special users have all the access rights of Regular users Which test case is the MOST reasonable one to test AC3?

Which of the following is NOT a purpose of a test plan?

At the beginning of each iteration, the team estimates the amount of work (in person-days) they will need to complete during the iteration. Let E(n) be the estimated amount of work for iteration n, and let A(n) be the actual amount of work done in iteration n. From the third iteration, the team uses the following estimation model based on extrapolation: 3 ∗ 𝐴(𝑛 − 1) + 𝐴(𝑛 − 2) 𝐸(𝑛) = 4 The graph shows the estimated and actual amount of work for the first four iterations. Estimated and actual effort (in person-days) 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Iteration #1 Iteration #2 Iteration #3 Iteration #4 Estimated Actual What is the estimated amount of work for iteration #5?

You are preparing a test execution schedule for executing seven test cases TC 1 to TC 7. The following figure includes the priorities of these test cases (1=highest priority, 3 = lowest priority). The figure also shows the dependencies between test cases using arrows. For instance, the arrow from TC 4 to TC 5 means that TC 5 can only be executed if TC 4 was previously executed. Which test case should be executed sixth?

What does the test pyramid model show?

What is the relationship between the testing quadrants, test levels and test types?

Which of the following is an example of how product risk analysis may influence the thoroughness and scope of testing?
