At what stage of the Fundamental Test Process do testers evaluate the Testability of the test basis? Select one:
-
Test analysis and design
-
Test control
-
Evaluating exit criteria and reporting
-
Test execution
Correct Answer
A. Test analysis and designExplanation
During the test analysis and design stage of the Fundamental Test Process, testers evaluate the testability of the test basis. This involves assessing whether the test basis, which includes documents like requirements and design specifications, is adequate and suitable for creating test cases and conducting testing activities. Testers analyze the test basis to determine if it is clear, complete, and unambiguous, ensuring that the test cases derived from it will effectively validate the system under test. By evaluating testability during this stage, testers can identify any issues or gaps in the test basis early on and make necessary adjustments before proceeding with test execution.Rate this question:

-
Memory leaks
-
Coding standard violations
-
Variables that are never used
-
Uncalled functions and procedures
Correct Answer
A. Memory leaksExplanation
Memory leaks are least likely to be discovered when using static analysis tools because static analysis tools primarily analyze the source code for syntax errors, coding standard violations, and unused variables/functions. Memory leaks, on the other hand, occur at runtime when a program fails to deallocate memory that it no longer needs. Static analysis tools cannot detect memory leaks as they do not execute the code. Memory leaks are typically detected through dynamic analysis techniques such as runtime debugging or memory profiling.Rate this question:

-
0.2,0.9,29.5
-
0.1,0.4,24,25
-
0.4,0.5,25.0,25.1
Correct Answer
A. 0.4,0.5,25.0,25.1Explanation
Equivalence partitioning is a testing technique that divides input data of a software program into partitions of equivalent data from which test cases can be derived. In essence, it aims to reduce the number of test cases to a minimum necessary set that still covers all scenarios.
Given the conditions that the smallest valid order is 0.5 units and the largest valid order is 25 units, we would want to test:
Below the valid range
Within the valid range at the lower boundary
Within the valid range but not at the boundary
At the upper boundary of the valid range
Above the valid range
The set 0.4, 0.5, 25.0, 25.1 represents:
0.4: Just below the valid range, testing the system's response to an order too small.
0.5: The smallest valid order, testing the acceptance of the minimum valid order.
25.0: The largest valid order, testing the acceptance of the maximum valid order.

Correct Answer
A. 16Explanation
The correct answer is 16. This is because the decision table shows 2 conditions (valid card number and purchase approved) with 2 possible values (NO and YES) each. Therefore, there are 2^2 = 4 possible combinations of these conditions. Additionally, there are 2 actions (reject message and accept payment) with 2 possible values (YES and NO). So, there are 2^2 = 4 possible combinations of these actions. Multiplying the combinations of conditions and actions together, we get 4 * 4 = 16 possible test cases needed to cover all combinations.Rate this question:
