    • A.

      2 test case for statement coverage , 2 test case for branch coverage.

    • B.

      3 test case for statement coverage , 3 test case for branch coverage.

    • C.

      2 test case for statement coverage , 3 test case for branch coverage.

    • D.

      1 test case for statement coverage , 3 test case for branch coverage.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 test case for statement coverage , 2 test case for branch coverage.
    Explanation
    The given program has two IF-ELSE statements. In order to achieve 100% statement coverage, we need to test both paths of each IF-ELSE statement, which requires a minimum of 2 test cases. Similarly, in order to achieve 100% branch coverage, we need to test both branches of each IF-ELSE statement, which also requires a minimum of 2 test cases. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 test cases for statement coverage and 2 test cases for branch coverage.

    Which of the following statements is true? Select one:

    • A.

      Developers not needing testers is high level of independence.

    • B.

      Independence of testers results in efficient finding of bugs during unit testing.

    • C.

      Developers should not test their own code because they are NOT objective towards their own code.

    • D.

      Independence of testing does NOT mean that developers should not test their own code.

    Correct Answer
    D. Independence of testing does NOT mean that developers should not test their own code.
    Explanation
    The statement "Independence of testing does NOT mean that developers should not test their own code" is true because independence in testing refers to the separation of roles and responsibilities between developers and testers. While it is important to have independent testers for unbiased and objective testing, it does not imply that developers should not perform any testing on their own code. Developers can and should perform unit testing to ensure the functionality and quality of their code before it is handed over to the testing team. This allows for early detection and resolution of issues, leading to more efficient bug finding during unit testing.

    Consider a program that computes the factorial of a number . If n<0, a message “value out of range“ must be issued. . 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. N200
    Explanation
    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.

    • 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.
