ISTQB Question Dumps For Software Testing -  Part  23



Question:

Scenario:

You are testing 2 programs and have 3 weeks to test them both. Having run all of your tests on both programs you finish testing within 2 weeks. You need to decide which of the 2 programs you would re-visit and run further tests against. Choose which program you would re-test (can choose only one!) – and state you reasons:

Program A
Programmer: A
Complexity Level: 2
Lines of Code: 2000
Number of tests: 100
Number of bugs found: 10
(1 high severity, 3 medium & 6 low)
Program B
Programmer: B
Complexity Level: 2
Lines of Code: 2000
Number of tests: 100
Number of bugs found: 50
(10 high severity, 25 medium & 15 low)

Answer:

Key points:
1. Different programmers wrote A and B
2. Complexity level of the programs are the same
3. Size of the programs are the same
4. Tester is the same for testing A and B
5. Number of tests run on both programs is the same
6. Number of bugs is higher in program B
Program B seems to have far more faults therefore we would be inclined to spend the further week testing Program B, as there is likely to be more bugs to find. We may also not be very confident at this point with Program B therefore we need to see our confidence increased.

What is LCSAJ Testing?

-
Image
LCSAJ testing requires a model of the source code which identifies control flow jumps (where control flow does not pass to a sequential statement). An LCSAJ (Linear Code Sequence and Jump) is defined by a triple, conventionally identified by line numbers in a source code listing: the start of the linear code sequence, the end of the linear code sequence, and the target line to which control flow is transferred. Test cases shall be designed to exercise LCSAJs. For each test case, the following shall be specified: - the input(s) to the component; - identification of the LCSAJ(s) to be executed by the test case; - the expected outcome of the test case.

What is Syntax Testing?

Syntax Testing uses a model of the formally-defined syntax of the inputs to a component. The syntax is represented as a number of rules each of which defines the possible means of production of a symbol in terms of sequences of, iterations of, or selections between other symbols. Test cases with valid and invalid syntax are designed from the formally defined syntax of the inputs to the component. Test cases with valid syntax shall be designed to execute options which are derived from rules which shall include those that follow, although additional rules may also be applied where appropriate: -   whenever a selection is used, an option is derived for each alternative by replacing the selection with that alternative; -   whenever an iteration is used, at least two options are derived, one with the minimum number of iterated symbols and the other with more than the minimum number of repetitions.   A test case may exercise any number of options.   For each test case the

1. Which of the following statements contains the correct use of the terminology? a) a fault by a person may introduce an error into the software that may cause a failure in operation b) a failure by a person may introduce a fault into the software that may cause an error in operation c) an error made by a person may introduce a fault into the software that may cause a failure in operation d) an error made by a person may introduce a failure into the software that may cause a fault in operation e) a failure by a person may cause an error in the software that may cause a fault in operation 2.   A reliable system will be one that: a) is unlikely to be completed on schedule b) is unlikely to cause a failure c) is likely to be fault-free d) is likely to be liked by the users e) includes a minimum number of components 3.   Which of the following statements about ‘Integration Testing in the Small’ is false? a) It can combine all the components together in one go
