Question 1

Which of the following are most characteristic of structure-based testing?

(i) Information about how the software is constructed is used to derive test cases.

(ii) Statement coverage and/or decision coverage can be measured for existing test cases.

(iii) The knowledge and experience of people are used to derive test cases.

(iv) Test cases are derived from a model or specification of the system.

A(i) and (ii)

B(ii) and (iii)

C(ii) and (iv)

D(i) and (iii)

Answer : A

Question 2

What can a risk-based approach to testing provide?

AThe types of test techniques to be employed.

BThe total tests needed to provide 100 per cent coverage.

CAn estimation of the total cost of testing.

DOnly that test execution is effective at reducing risk.

Answer : A

Question 3

Which of the following statements are true?

(i) For every development activity there is a corresponding testing activity.

(ii) Each test level has the same test objectives.

(iii) The analysis and design of tests for a given test level should begin after the corresponding development activity.

(iv)Testers should be involved in reviewing documents as soon as drafts are available in the development life cycle.

A(i) and (ii)

B(iii) and (iv)

C(ii) and (iii)

D(i) and (iv)

Answer : D

Option (ii) is incorrect: each test level has a different objective. Option (iii) is also incorrect: test analysis and design should start once the documentation has been completed.

Question 4

Which of the following describes structure-based (white-box) test case design techniques?

ATest cases are derived systematically from models of the system.

BTest cases are derived systematically from the tester's experience.

CTest cases are derived systematically from the delivered code.

DTest cases are derived from the developers' experience.

Answer : C

Answer (A) relates to specification-based testing, answer (B) relates to experience-based testing and answer (D) could relate either to debugging or to experience-based techniques.
