- B.
Testing can show defects are present , but cannot prove that there are no defects.
- C.
If same tests are repeated over and over again, eventually the same set of test cases will no longer find any new bugs.
- D.
Finding and fixing defects does not help if the system built is unusual and does not fulfill the user's needs and requirements.
Correct Answer
C. If same tests are repeated over and over again, eventually the same set of test cases will no longer find any new bugs.Explanation
The statement that is TRUE about the 'pesticide paradox' is that if the same tests are repeated over and over again, eventually the same set of test cases will no longer find any new bugs. This is because as the system is tested repeatedly with the same set of test cases, the bugs that are initially discovered and fixed will no longer be present, leading to a decrease in the number of new bugs found. This highlights the need for regularly updating and diversifying the test cases to ensure that new bugs can be detected.Rate this question:

Which technique is used for both, input and output coverage ?
- A.
Boundary value analysis
- B.
Equivalence partitioning
- C.
State transition testing
- D.
Decision Table testing
Correct Answer
B. Equivalence partitioningExplanation
Equivalence partitioning is a technique used for both input and output coverage. It involves dividing the input and output values into equivalent classes or partitions, where each partition represents a unique set of inputs or outputs that are expected to behave in the same way. By selecting test cases from each partition, this technique ensures that a representative set of inputs and outputs is covered, maximizing test coverage while minimizing the number of test cases needed. Therefore, equivalence partitioning is a suitable technique for achieving both input and output coverage.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. I , iii are correct ; ii , iv are incorrect.Explanation
Decision coverage is a measure of how many decision outcomes have been tested. It is stronger than statement coverage because statement coverage only measures if each statement has been executed at least once, while decision coverage ensures that all possible decision outcomes have been tested. However, 100% decision coverage does not guarantee 100% statement coverage and vice versa because there can be multiple statements within a decision outcome. Therefore, statement ii is incorrect. Statement iv is also incorrect because 100% decision coverage can be achieved if all possible decision outcomes are tested.Rate this question:

For the program below , how many test cases are neede to achieve 100% statement coverage ?READ AREAD BC = A + (2 *B)IF C >100 THENPRINT 'LARGE C'ENDIF
- A.
SC = 2 ; DC = 2
- B.
SC = 1; DC = 2
- C.
SC = 2; DC = 1
- D.
SC = 1; DC = 1
Correct Answer
B. SC = 1; DC = 2Explanation
To achieve 100% statement coverage, we need to ensure that every statement in the program is executed at least once. In this program, there are four statements: READ A, READ B, IF C > 100 THEN, and PRINT 'LARGE C'. The given answer SC = 1; DC = 2 means that there is one test case where statement coverage is achieved, but decision coverage is not. This implies that the IF statement has not been executed in this particular test case. Therefore, to achieve 100% statement coverage, we need at least one additional test case where the condition C > 100 is true, so that the IF statement is executed and the PRINT statement is also executed.Rate this question:

However, the task of writing summary reports on test status is typically assigned to a test manager or a test lead, who consolidates the information provided by the testers and prepares the summary reports for communication and decision-making purposes.Rate this question:
