1 When what is visible to end-users is a deviation from the specific or expected behaviour, this is called: a) an error b) a fault c) a failure d) a defect e) a mistake 2 Regression testing should be performed: v) every week w) after the software has changed x) as often as possible y) when the environment has changed z) when the project manager says a) v & w are true, x – z are false b) w, x & y are true, v & z are false c) w & y are true, v, x & z are false d) w is true, v, x y and z are false e) all of the above are true 3 IEEE 829 test plan documentation standard contains all of the following except: a) test items b) test deliverables c) test tasks d) test environment e) test specification 4 Testing should be stopped when: a) all the planned tests have been run b) time has run out c) all faults have been fixed correctly d) both a) and c) e) it depends on the risks for the system being tested 5 Order numbers on a stock control sys...

1.Software testing activities should start a. as soon as the code is written b. during the design stage c. when the requirements have been formally documented d. as soon as possible in the development life cycle 2.Faults found by users are due to: a. Poor quality software b. Poor software and poor testing c. bad luck d. insufficient time for testing 3.What is the main reason for testing software before releasing it? a. to show that system will work after release b. to decide when the software is of sufficient quality to release c. to find as many bugs as possible before release d. to give information for a risk based decision about release 4. which of the following statements is not true a. performance testing can be done during unit testing as well as during the testing of whole system b. The acceptance test does not necessarily include a regression test c. Verification activities should not involve testers (reviews, inspections etc) d. Test environments should...

1 We split testing into distinct stages primarily because: a) Each test stage has a different purpose. b) It is easier to manage testing in stages. c) We can run different tests in different environments. d) The more stages we have, the better the testing. 2 Which of the following is likely to benefit most from the use of test tools providing test capture and replay facilities? a) Regression testing b) Integration testing c) System testing d) User acceptance testing 3 Which of the following statements is NOT correct? a) A minimal test set that achieves 100% LCSAJ coverage will also achieve 100% branch coverage. b) A minimal test set that achieves 100% path coverage will also achieve 100% statement coverage. c) A minimal test set that achieves 100% path coverage will generally detect more faults than one that achieves 100% statement coverage. d) A minimal test set that achieves 100% statement coverage will generally detect more faults than one that achieves 100% branch c...
