What happens to the cost of defects as we considerably move across the life cycle ?
- A.
Increases
- B.
Decreases
- C.
Remains stagnent
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. IncreasesExplanation
As we move across the life cycle, the cost of defects typically increases. This is because defects that are not identified and fixed early on can lead to larger issues and more costly repairs later in the process. Additionally, as the product or project progresses, the cost of fixing defects generally becomes more expensive due to factors such as increased complexity, integration challenges, and potential impact on other components. Therefore, it is important to address and resolve defects as early as possible to minimize their impact on cost.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 3Explanation
The procedure asks two questions: one about the type of ticket (Single or Return) and another about the rate (Standard or Cheap-day). The number of test inputs needed to ensure that all the questions have been asked, all the combinations have occurred, and all replies are given can be calculated by multiplying the number of options for each question. In this case, there are 2 options for the type of ticket (Single or Return) and 2 options for the rate (Standard or Cheap-day), resulting in a total of 2 * 2 = 4 possible combinations. However, since one of the combinations does not require any further questions (Single ticket), we subtract it from the total, resulting in 4 - 1 = 3. Therefore, 3 test inputs are needed to cover all the possible combinations and replies.Rate this question:

- C.
X = -1 , y = -2 , z = 3 ; x = -2 , y = -1 , z = 0
- D.
X = 5 , y = 5 , z = 5 ; x = 5 , y = 4 , z = -1
Correct Answer
B. X = 3 , y = 3 , z = 3 ; x = -1 , y = -2, z = 3Explanation
The given code contains an if-else statement that checks the values of x and y. If x is equal to y, then the code inside the if block is executed. In this case, z is incremented by 1 and then it is checked if z is less than 5. If z is less than 5, the value of w is set to 10. On the other hand, if x is greater than y, the code inside the elseif block is executed and the value of w is set to 5.
In order to ensure 100% statement coverage, we need to test all possible paths of the code. The combination of x=3, y=3, and z=3 satisfies the condition x=y, and zy, so only the elseif block is executed. Therefore, these two combinations ensure 100% statement coverage.Rate this question:

SC = 1 ; DC = 2
Correct Answer
D. SC = 1 ; DC = 2Explanation
To achieve 100% statement coverage (SC), only one test input is needed because there is only one statement in the code. However, to achieve 100% decision coverage (DC), two test inputs are needed because there are two conditions in the code: (a > b) and (c > d). Therefore, the correct answer is SC = 1; DC = 2.Rate this question:

Which document specifies the sequence of actions or steps to be taken by the tester in order to execute the test?
- A.
Test design specification
- B.
Test plan
- C.
Manual test script
- D.
Test case specification
Correct Answer
C. Manual test scriptExplanation
A manual test script specifies the sequence of actions or steps that a tester needs to follow in order to execute a test. It provides detailed instructions on how to perform each step, including any input data that needs to be entered and the expected output or result. By following the manual test script, the tester can ensure that the test is executed consistently and accurately. Test design specification, test plan, and test case specification may provide overall guidelines or instructions, but it is the manual test script that provides the specific sequence of actions for executing the test.Rate this question:
