1. Q. 364: A number of critical bugs are fixed in software. All the bugs are in one module, related to reports. The test manager decides to do regression testing only on the reports module.

The test manager should do only automated regression testing.

The test manager is justified in her decision because no bug has been fixed in other modules

The test manager should only do confirmation testing. There is no need to do regression testing

Regression testing should be done on other modules as well because fixing one module may affect other modules

2. Q. 354: When should you stop testing?

When time for testing has run out.

3. Q. 373: Why is testing necessary?

Because testing is good method to make there are not defects in the software

Because verification and validation are not enough to get to know the quality of the software

Because testing measures the quality of the software system and helps to increase the quality

It is led by the author, uses checklists, and collects data for improvement

6. Q. 370: In system testing...

Testing is the same as quality assurance

Testing is a part of quality assurance

Testing is not a part of quality assurance

Because the test object is tested under maximal load up to its performance limits
