ISTQB Question Dumps For Software Testing -  Part  25



Question:
 
 
Write down any potential problems a fault log may have.
 
Answer:
 
Potential issues:
  • No date on log as to when raised
  • No keywords (i.e. screen) so that searches can be performed preventing duplication of fault logs
  • No status of the log (opened/fixed/closed/cleared etc.)
  • No owner of the log.
  • Has priority – but no severity (i.e. risk to the customer)
  • No version number of the system being tested – it is very likely that the testers are on a different version to development and that it was a fault but has been inadvertently fixed on this latest software
  • Query the priority of this log
  • No actual error message on the log – this may give some clue to the developer about the nature of the fault
  • Response seems to be leading to a dialogue – if we are not careful this fault will never be fixed! Tester should talk to the developer rather than sending another message via the fault log.
  • The response by the developer points to another part of the system (security) – this may be an indication of developers trying to quickly close the issue without performing sufficient investigation. It could however be because the tester has not spent enough time documenting the problem.

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?

-
Image
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
