An input field takes the year of birth between 1900 and 2004

The boundary values for testing this field are

0,1900,2004,2005
1900, 2004
1899,1900,2004,2005
1899, 1900, 1901,2003,2004,2005

Which one of the following are non-functional testing methods?

System testing
Usability testing
Performance testing
Both b & c

Which of the following tools would be involved in the automation of regression test?

Data tester
Boundary tester
Capture/Playback
Output comparator

Incorrect form of Logic coverage is:

Statement Coverage
Pole Coverage
Condition Coverage
Path Coverage

Which of the following is not a quality characteristic listed in ISO 9126 Standard?

Functionality
Usability
Supportability
Maintainability

To test a function, the programmer has to write a _________, which calls the function to be tested and passes it test data

Stub
Driver
Proxy
None of the above

Boundary value testing

Is the same as equivalence partitioning tests
Test boundary conditions on, below and above the edges of input and output equivalence classes
Tests combinations of input circumstances
Is used in white box testing strategy

Pick the best definition of quality

Quality is job one
Zero defects
Conformance to requirements
Work as designed

Fault Masking is

Error condition hiding another error condition
Creating a test case which does not reveal a fault
Masking a fault by developer
Masking a fault by a tester

One Key reason why developers have difficulty testing their own work is :

Lack of technical documentation
Lack of test tools on the market for developers
Lack of training
Lack of Objectivity

During the software development process, at what point can the test process start?

When the code is complete
When the design is complete
When the software requirements have been approved
When the first code module is ready for unit testing

In a review meeting a moderator is a person who

Takes minutes of the meeting
Mediates between people
Takes telephone calls
Writes the documents to be reviewed

Given the Following program
IF X < Y THEN Statement 1; ELSE IF Y >= Z
THEN Statement 2;
END

McCabe’s Cyclomatic Complexity is :

2
3
4
5

How many test cases are necessary to cover all the possible sequences of statements (paths) for the following program fragment? Assume that the two conditions are independent of each other : - ………… if (Condition 1) then statement 1 else statement 2 fi if (Condition 2) then statement 3 fi …………

Test Cases
3 Test Cases
4 Test Cases
Not achievable

Acceptance test cases are based on what?

Requirements
Design
Code
Decision table

“How much testing is enough?”

This question is impossible to answer
This question is easy to answer
The answer depends on the risk for your industry, contract and special requirements
This answer depends on the maturity of your developers

A common test technique during component test is

Statement and branch testing
Usability testing
Security testing
Performance testing

Statement Coverage will not check for the following

Missing Statements
Unused Branches
Dead Code
Unused Statement

Independent Verification & Validation is

Done by the Developer
Done by the Test Engineers
Done By Management
Done by an Entity Outside the Project’s sphere of influence

Code Coverage is used as a measure of what ?

Defects
Trends analysis
Test Effectiveness
Time Spent Testing
