Question 37

Which pair of definitions is correct?

A. Regression testing is checking that the reported defect has been fixed; retesting is testing that there are no additional problems in previously tested software.

B. Regression testing is checking there are no additional problems in previously tested software; retesting enables developers to isolate the problem.

C. Regression testing involves running all tests that have been run before; retesting runs new tests.

D. Regression testing is checking that there are no additional problems in previously tested software, retesting is demonstrating that the reported defect has been fixed.

Correct Answer:D
Regression testing is testing that nothing has regressed. Retesting (or confirmation testing) confirms the fix is correct by running the same test after the fix has been made. No other option has both of these as true.

Question 38

Which statement below BEST describes non-functional testing?

A. The process of testing an integrated system to verify that it meets specified requirements.

B. The process of testing to determine the compliance of a system to coding standards.

C. Testing without reference to the internal structure of a system.

D. Testing system attributes, such as usability, reliability or maintainabilit

Correct Answer:A

Question 39

Which of the following is not a major task of Exit criteria?

A. Checking test logs against the exit criteria specified in test planning.

B. Logging the outcome of test execution.

C. Assessing if more tests are needed.

D. Writing a test summary report for stakeholder

Correct Answer:B

Question 40

Testing effort can depend on a number of factors, which one of following is MOST likely to impact the amount of effort required?

C. The planned use of a project management tool to schedule tasks

D. The responsibilities for testers and developers being clearly defined

Correct Answer:C

Question 41

In general, why is it NOT a good idea to estimate the testing effort based only on a percentage of development effort? Identify THREE valid reasons. 1 credit

A. The quality of the development estimate may be poor.

B. In general bottom-up estimation is always better than top-down estimation.

C. The percentage based technique only applies to the V life cycle model.

D. Using the same percentage every time does not address the level of risk of the application to be tested.

E. The maturity of the organization, e.

F. the quality of the test basis, quality of development testing, configuration management, availability of test tools, also influence the effort needed for testing.

G. It builds on large set of historical data

H. The result is almost always a too low estimate for the required test effort

Correct Answer:ADE

Question 42

Which of the following accurately defines the integration testing test level? [K2]

A. Test basis includes software and system design, test objects include interfaces, and tests concentrate on the interactions between different parts of a system

B. Test basis includes component requirements, test objects include database modules, and tests concentrate on the behaviour of the system as a whole.

C. Test basis includes business processes, test objects include system configuration and configuration data, and tests concentrate on establishing confidence in the system

D. Test basis includes use cases, test objects include user procedures and tests concentrate on a high level model of system behaviour

Correct Answer:A
