total number of defects found up to this time.
D. Any of these, depending
on the company.
7. What
are the 2 major components taken into consideration with risk analysis?
(Test
Mgmt)
a) The probability the
negative event will occur
b) The potential loss or
impact associated with the event
c) Both a and b
d) Neither a nor b
8. We can
achieve complete statement coverage but still miss bugs because:
A. The failure occurs only
if you reach a statement taking the TRUE branch of an IF
statement, and you got to
the statement with a test that passed through the FALSE
branch.
B. The failure depends on
the program's inability to handle specific data values,
rather than on the
program's flow of control.
C. Both A and B
D. We are not required to
test code that customers are unlikely to execute.
9. Who is
responsible for conducting test readiness review? (Performing
Test)
a. Test manager
b. Test engineer
c. both A & B
d. Project Manager
10. What
if the project isn't big enough to justify extensive testing? (Test Mgmt)

to find out which areas need to be tested
b) Use automation tool for
testing
c) a and b
d) None of the above
11. What
are the key features to be concentrated upon when doing a testing for
world wide
web sites (Test Execution)
a) Interaction between html
pages
b) Performance on the
client side
c) Security aspects
d) All of the above
12. What
can be done if requirements are changing continuously? (Test Mgmt)
a) Work with the project's
stakeholders early on to understand how
requirements might change
so that alternate test plans and strategies
can be worked out in
advance, if possible.
b) Negotiate to allow only
easily-implemented new requirements into the
project, while moving more
difficult new requirements into future
versions of the application
c) Both a and b
d) None of the above
13. The
selection of test cases for regression testing (Testing artifacts)
a) Requires knowledge on
the bug fixes and how it affect the system
b) Includes the area of
frequent defects
c) Includes the area which
has undergone many/recent code changes
d) All of the above
14.
Measurement dysfunction is a problem because:
A. Even though the numbers
you look at appear better, to achieve these numbers,
people are doing other
aspects of their work much less well.B. We don't know how to
measure a variable (our
measurement is dysfunctional) and
so we don't know how to
interpret the result.
C. You are measuring the
wrong thing and thus reaching the wrong conclusions.
D. All of the above.
15. What
do you mean by “Having to say NO” (test planning process)
a. No, the problem is not
with testers
b. No, the software is not
ready for production
c. Both a & b
d. none of the above
16.
According to the lecture, there are several risks of managing your project's
schedule
with a
statistical reliability model. These include (choose one or more of the
following):
A. Testers spend more
energy early in the product trying to find bugs than preparing
to do the rest of the
project's work more efficiently
B. Managers might not
realize that the testing effort is ineffective, late in the project,
because they expect a low
rate of bug finding, so the low rate achieved doesn't
alarm them.
C. It can increase the
end-of-project pressure on testers to not find bugs, or to not
report bugs.
D. All of the above
17.
Operations testing is (Performing Test)
a. compliance testing
b. disaster testing
c. verifying compliance to
rules
d. functional testing
e. ease of operations
18. Tools
like change Man, Clear case are used as (test planning process)
a. functional automation
tools
b. performance testing
tools
c. configuration management
tools
d. none of the above.
19.
Important consequences of the impossibility of complete testing are (Choose
one or
more answers):
A. We can never be certain
that the program is bug free.
B. We have no definite
stopping point for testing, which makes it easier for some
managers to argue for very
little testing.
C. We have no easy answer
for what testing tasks should always be required,
because every task takes
time that could be spent on other high importance tasks.
D. All of the above.
20. Which
is not in sequence in 11 Step Software Testing process (Tester’s
Role SDLC)
a Assess development plan
and status
b Develop the test plan
c Test software design
d Test software requirement
21. In the
MASPAR case study:A. Security failures were the result of untested parts of
code.
B. The development team
achieved complete statement and branch coverage but
missed a serious bug in the
MASPAR operating system.
C. An error in the code was
so obscure that you had to test the function with almost
every input value to find
its two special-case failures.
D. All of the above.
22.
Complete statement and branch coverage means:
A. That you have tested
every statement in the program.
B. That you have tested
every statement and every branch in the program.
C. That you have tested
every IF statement in the program.
D. That you have tested
every combination of values of IF statements in the program
23. What
if the project isn't big enough to justify extensive testing? (Test Mgmt)

to find out which areas need to be tested
b) Use automation tool for testing
c) a and b
d) None of the above
24.
Security falls under (Performing Test)

every bug in the program.
B. You have tested every
statement, branch, and combination of branches in the
program.
