  • Failure is another word for defect or bug

Question 2

Question
Consider the following statements: i) A defect is produced as a result of failure ii) Failures can be caused by environmental conditions iii) Defects are also referred to as bugs or faults iv) Failures can cause bugs v) All failures are a direct result of defects
Answer
  • i, ii, v are true; iii and iv are false Incorrect
  • ii, iii iv are true; i and v are false
  • ii, iii are true; i, iv and v are false
  • iv, v are true; i, ii and iii are false

Question 3

Question

Answer
  • To evaluate the quality of the test team
  • To conform to good working practice
  • To meet ISTQB requirements
  • To meet legal requirements

Question 4

Question
How much is enough testing?
Answer
  • It is impossible to say
  • When there are no defects remaining in the software
  • It depends on the level of risk, plus the time and budget available
  • It depends on the experience of the test team

Question 5

Question
The objectives of testing include:
Answer
  • Finding defects
  • Assessing the quality of the development process
  • Eliminating the need for debugging
  • Eliminating all software defects

Question 6

Question
Which is the correct statement?
Answer
  • Dynamic and Static testing are the same thing
  • Positive testing reviews the contents of documents
  • Static testing reviews the contents of documents
  • Static testing involves the execution of the software

Question 7

Question
What is the relationship between testing and quality?
Answer
  • They are unrelated
  • Testing can improve quality by highlighting software failures
  • Testing is concerned with software, quality with documentation
  • Testing is concerned with documentation, quality with software

Question 8

Question
Which of the following statements is true?
Answer
  • Debugging finds, analyses and removes the causes of failure
  • Developers use debugging instead of testing
  • Debugging is confirming that a developer has fixed a defect
  • A major task for testers is debugging

Question 9

Question
Which is one of the 7 principles of testing?
Answer
  • Early testing
  • Exhaustive testing is essential
  • Independence in testing is impossible
  • Testing proves the absence of defects

Question 10

Question

Answer
  • i, ii, iii , iv, v
  • iii, i, v, iv, ii
  • v , i, iii, iv, ii
  • iii, i, iv, v, ii

Question 11

Question
Which of the following is a major task in Test Analysis and Design?
Answer

Question 13

Question
Which is a major task in Test Implementation and Execution?
Answer
  • Verifying that the test environment has been set up correctly
  • Evaluating testability of the test basis
  • Writing test summary reports for stakeholders
  • Designing the test environment set-up

Question 14

Question
Evaluating Exit Criteria and Reporting is best described by:
Answer
  • The activity where test execution is assessed against defined objectives
  • The activity where general testing objectives are transformed into tangible test conditions and cases
  • The ongoing activity of comparing progress against the plan and reporting status
  • The activity of defining objectives and the necessary testing activities

Question 15

Question
Evaluating Exit Criteria and Reporting includes which of the following tasks?
Answer
  • Logging the outcome of test execution

Question
Which of the following is not a task of Test Closure?
Answer
  • Checking planned deliverables have been delivered
  • Closure of incident reports
  • Documentation of the acceptance of the system

Answer
  • w, x, y, z
  • x, y, z, w
  • x, z, y, w
  • w, x, z, y

Question
Independence in testing means:
Answer
  • Testers do not communicate with developers
  • Someone other than the developer designing the tests
  • Each tester works independently from all other testers
  • Testing being planned independently from the rest of the project

Question 20

Question
