ISTQB Question Dumps For Software Testing -  Part 7

 
Questions:

You have raised a fault, but Development are unable to reproduce it. What should your next step be?

a) Let development sign off the bug as not reproducible.
b) Sign off the bug yourself as not reproducible.
c) Tell development the bug definitely exists and you will not pass it unless fixed.
d) Re-test and upon confirmation provide more detailed information to Development, talking them through each stage if necessary.
 
 
Answers:

The answer is (d) – it might be our environment or it could have been fixed by some other fault fix in the new version.

    I have 10 years experience as a software developer and sometimes it's almost impossible to reproduce a fault. I think its important that testers log faults as clearly and concisely as possible. In my company we work very closely with our Test team so they often attempt to reproduce faults which we can't!

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.

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 ...

What is State Transition Testing?

Image
State transition testing uses a model of the states the component may occupy, the transitions between those states, the events which cause those transitions, and the actions which may result from those transitions. The model shall comprise states, transitions, events, actions and their relationships.   The states of the model shall be disjoint, identifiable and finite in number.   Events cause transitions between states, and transitions can return to the same state where they began.   Events will be caused by inputs to the component, and actions in the state transition model may cause outputs from the component. The model will typically be represented as a state transition diagram, state transition model, or a state table. Test cases shall be designed to exercise transitions between states.   A test case may exercise any number of transitions.   For each test case, the following shall be specified: -   the starting state of the component  ...
