Q.1. Which of the following statements provides the BEST description of a test case?

1. Document specifying a sequence of actions for executing a test. Also known as a test script or manual test script.

2. A set of input values and expected results, with preconditions for execution and postconditions, developed for a particular test condition.

3. An attribute of a system specified by the requirements documentation (e.g., reliability, usability, or design constraints) that is verified during a test.

4. An element or event of a system that can be verified by one or more test conditions, for example, a function, a transaction, a feature, a quality attribute, or a structural element.

2 / 15

Q.2. Which of the following objectives is a major goal of testing?

1. Preventing defects.

2. Validating that the project schedule is on track.

3. Increasing confidence in the development team.

4. Making release decisions for the tested system.

3 / 15

Q.3. Which of the following examples is a failure of a car's cruise control system?

1. The system developer forgot to rename the variables after a copy-paste operation.

2. Unnecessary code triggering an alarm when reversing was included in the system.

3. The system stops maintaining a set speed when the radio volume is increased or decreased.

4. The system design specification incorrectly states speeds in miles per hour.

4 / 15

Q.4. Which of the following is a defect rather than a root cause in a fitness tracker?

1. Because he was not familiar with the fitness domain, the requirements author incorrectly assumed that users wanted to track heartbeats per hour.

2. The tester for the phone interface had not been trained in state transition testing, and missed a major defect.

3. An incorrect configuration variable included for the GPS function sometimes causes location issues during daylight saving time.

4. Since he had never worked on wearable devices before, the UI designer did not identify the screen readability issue in sunlight.

5 / 15

Q.5. More tests are conducted on the parts of the tested system that had more defects than average.

Which of the following testing principles is applied?

1. Pesticide paradox

2. Testing is context-dependent

3. Absence-of-errors fallacy

4. Defect clustering

6 / 15

Q.15. Which sequence BEST shows the main activities of the review process of a work product?

1. Kick-off – Reviewer selection – Individual review – Review meeting – Rework

2. Planning & preparation – Kick-off meeting – Individual review – Correction – Reporting

3. Preparation – Defect detection – Review meeting – Rework – Reporting

4. Planning – Kick-off – Individual review – Review meeting – Correction and reporting

7 / 15

Q.14. Which response CORRECTLY presents the value of static testing?

1. By introducing reviews, we found that the quality of specifications and the time required for development and testing both increased.

2. The use of static testing means that we have better control and less costly defect management due to the ease of defect removal later in the lifecycle.

3. Communication between testers and developers has improved.

4. Since we started using static analysis, we have found code defects that we would not have discovered with dynamic testing alone.

8 / 15

Q.13. Which response CORRECTLY describes a benefit of impact analysis in maintenance?

1. Impact analysis is used to determine whether a fix should be implemented based on the potential consequences.

2. Impact analysis is used to define how data should be migrated to the system under maintenance.

3. Impact analysis is used to decide which hot fixes have the most value for the user.

4. Impact analysis is used to determine the effectiveness of new maintenance test cases.

9 / 15

Q.12. Which response BEST compares the objectives of confirmation tests and regression tests?

1. The objective of regression testing is to ensure that all previously executed tests still function correctly, while the objective of confirmation testing is to ensure that any correction made to one part of the system has not negatively affected other parts.

2. The objective of confirmation testing is to verify that a previously found defect has been fixed, while the objective of regression testing is to ensure that other parts of the system have not been negatively affected by the fix.

3. The objective of regression testing is to ensure that any change made to one part of the system has not caused a failure in another part, while the objective of confirmation testing is to verify that all previously executed tests still produce the same results as before.

4. The objective of confirmation testing is to confirm that changes to the system have been successfully implemented, while the objective of regression testing is to rerun previously failed tests to ensure they now pass correctly.

10 / 15

Q.11. Which of the following statements regarding test types and levels is CORRECT?

1. Functional and non-functional testing can be performed at the system and acceptance testing levels, while white-box testing is limited to component and integration testing.

2. Functional testing can be performed at any test level, while white-box testing is conducted at the component testing level.

3. It is possible to perform functional, non-functional, and white-box testing at any test level.

4. Functional and non-functional testing can be performed at any test level, while white-box testing is limited to component and integration testing.

11 / 15

Q.10. Given that the tests performed have the following characteristics:

They are based on interface specifications;
They focus on finding communication errors;
The testing approach includes both functional and structural types of testing.

Which of the following test levels is MOST likely being performed?

1. Component integration testing

2. Acceptance testing

3. System testing

4. Component testing

12 / 15

Q.9. Considering the following statements about the relationships between software development activities and testing activities in the software development lifecycle:

Each development activity should have a corresponding testing activity.
Testing should start as soon as the final versions of the documents are available.
Test design and implementation should start during the development activity.
Testing activities should start as early as the initial stages of the development cycle.

Which of the following correctly indicates True and False statements?

1. True – 1, 2; False – 3, 4

2. True – 2, 3; False – 1, 4

3. True – 1, 2, 4; False – 3

4. True – 1, 4; False – 2, 3

13 / 15

Q.8. Which of the following qualities is MORE likely to be present in a tester than in a developer?

1. A questioning attitude

2. The ability to see what might go wrong

3. Good communication with team members

4. Attention to details

14 / 15

Q.7. Which of the following statements BEST describes the benefits of maintaining traceability between the test basis and the test work products?

3. Test Managers can identify the testers who found the most important defects.

4. The parts of the tested system likely to be impacted by side effects of a change can be targeted by confirmation testing.
