If 0<=n<20, the program returns the exact factorial number . if 20<=n<=200 the factorial number must be approximated . if n>200 a message “value out of range” must be issued Which of the following equivalence partitioning is correct? Select one:
- A.
N
- B.
N
- C.
N
- D.
N200
Correct Answer
D. N200Explanation
The given equivalence partitioning is correct because it divides the input values into four partitions based on their ranges. The first partition is for values less than 0, which should result in an error message. The second partition is for values between 0 and 20, which should return the exact factorial number. The third partition is for values between 20 and 200, which should approximate the factorial number. The fourth partition is for values greater than 200, which should result in an error message. Therefore, the equivalence partitioning n200 correctly represents the different ranges of input values and their corresponding actions.Rate this question:

The following chart represents metrics related to testing indicates what is represented by lines A,B and axis X,Y Select one:
- A.
XTime, YCost,ACost of test(per week), BCost of finding a single bug(per week)
- B.
XTime, YNumber of defects, ANumber of open defects, BNumber of closed defects
- C.
XTime, YCount, ATotal number of executed tests, BNumber of open bugs.
- D.
XTime, YPercent, A% of functional tests in the test suite, B% of nonfunctional tests in the test suite
Correct Answer
C. XTime, YCount, ATotal number of executed tests, BNumber of open bugs.Explanation
The chart represents the relationship between time (X-axis) and count (Y-axis). Line A represents the total number of executed tests, while line B represents the number of open bugs. This indicates that the chart is showing the correlation between the time spent on testing and the number of tests executed, as well as the number of bugs that are still open.Rate this question:

Consider the following pseudo code, Integer k; If (k > 1 && k < 30), Then .... End if, Which of the following sets of test input values is the result of correct boundary value analysis? Select one:
- A.
3, 2,1,0, 30, 31, 32, 33
- B.
1, 2, 29, 30
- C.
0, 1, 30, 31
- D.
1,0,1,2,29,30,31
Correct Answer
B. 1, 2, 29, 30Explanation
The correct boundary value analysis for the given pseudo code would include testing the lower and upper boundaries of the condition. In this case, the condition is (k > 1 && k < 30). Therefore, we need to test values that are just above and below the boundaries. The set of test input values 1, 2, 29, and 30 covers these boundaries and ensures that the condition is tested correctly.Rate this question:

Which of the following statement is true? Select one:
- A.
Experience based testing is best used in integration testing.
- B.
Black box testing is equivalent to equivalence partitioning
- C.
Experience based testing should be applied after systematic test methods have been used.
- D.
White box testing is equally useful for low level and high level testing
Correct Answer
C. Experience based testing should be applied after systematic test methods have been used.Explanation
Experience based testing should be applied after systematic test methods have been used because systematic test methods provide a structured approach to testing, ensuring that all necessary test cases are covered. Once systematic test methods have been exhausted, experience based testing can be used to complement and enhance the testing process. This type of testing relies on the tester's knowledge, skills, and intuition to identify potential issues that may not have been covered by the systematic approach. By combining both systematic and experience based testing, the overall effectiveness and coverage of the testing process can be improved.Rate this question:
