Question 1

Which of the following is usually the test basis for integration testing?

AProgram specification

BFunctional specification

CTechnical specification

DRequirement specification

Answer : C

Option (A) is used for unit testing. Option (B) is used for system testing and Option (D) is used for acceptance testing.

Question 2

Consider the typical objectives of testing. Which of the following metrics can be used to measure the effectiveness of the testing process in achieving one of those objectives? 1 credit

AAverage number of days between defect discovery and resolution

BPercentage of requirements covered

CLines of code written per developer per day

DPercentage of test effort spent on regression testing

Answer : B

Question 3

What is the main reason why reviews are especially beneficial in the above-mentioned scenario? 2 credits

AThey ensure a common understanding of the product.

BThey find defects early.

CThey enhance project communication.

DThey can be performed without exercising the code.

Answer : D

Question 4

Which of the following statements about risks is most accurate?

AProject risks rarely affect product risk.

BProduct risks rarely affect project risk.

CA risk-based approach is more likely to be used to mitigate product rather than project risks.

DA risk-based approach is more likely to be used to mitigate project rather than product risks.

Answer : C

In general, project risk and product risk can be hard to differentiate. Anything that impacts on the quality of the delivered system is likely to lead to delays or increased costs as the problem is tackled. Anything causing delays to the project is likely to threaten the delivered system's quality. The risk-based approach is an approach to managing product risk through testing, so it impacts most directly on product risk.

Question 5

Which of the following is most likely to be a benefit of using static techniques?

AFewer performance defects.

BProductivity improvements in the development process.

CMore efficient regression testing.

DQuick return on investment in static analysis tools.

Answer : B

Although the other options might be seen as benefits they are not amongst the most likely benefits. Option (B) is the benefit that is most likely to be realized.

Question 6

Identify THREE items that would be part of the work-breakdown structure showing the key testing activities for the acceptance test project. 2 credits (for 2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)

ATest planning, test case preparation and test execution for each of the four iterations

BWork should be explicitly allocated to test completion, test management, installation and to training on using the system

CActivities to deploy the system in the user environment

DRegression testing in the second, third and fourth iterations

EDevelopment activities for unit and integration testing

FReviews on requirements documentation

GDefining test environment requirements for system testing

Answer : A, B, D

Question 7

Designing the test environment set-up and identifying any required infrastructure and tools are a part of which phase:

ATest Implementation and execution

BTest Analysis and Design

CEvaluating the Exit Criteria and reporting

DTest Closure Activities

Answer : B
