1. The most important thing about early test design is that it:

Makes test preparation easier.

Means inspections are not required.

Can prevent fault multiplication.

Will find all faults.

2. Which of the following would NOT normally form part of a test plan?

Features to be tested

Incident reports

Risks

Schedule

3. Integration testing in the small:

Tests the individual components that have been developed.

Tests interactions between modules or subsystems.

Only uses components that form part of the live system.

Tests interfaces to other systems.

4. An important benefit of code inspections is that they:

Enable the code to be tested before the execution environment is ready.

Can be performed by the person who wrote the code.

Can be performed by inexperienced staff.

Are cheap to perform.

5. Which of the following is a form of functional testing?

Boundary value analysis

Usability testing

Performance testing

Security testing

6. Which of the following is the best source of Expected Outcomes for User Acceptance Test scripts?

Actual results

Program specification

User requirements

System specification

7. What is the main difference between a walkthrough and an inspection?

An inspection is lead by the author, whilst a walkthrough is lead by a trained moderator.

An inspection has a trained leader, whilst a walkthrough has no leader.

Authors are not present during inspections, whilst they are during walkthroughs.

A walkthrough is lead by the author, whilst an inspection is lead by a trained moderator

8. Which of the following is NOT a white box technique?

Statement testing

Path testing

Data flow testing

State transition testing

9. Alpha testing is:

Post-release testing by end user representatives at the developer’s site.

The first testing that is performed.

Pre-release testing by end user representatives at the developer’s site.

Pre-release testing by end user representatives at their sites.

10. In a system designed to work out the tax to be paid:
An employee has £4000 of salary tax free. The next £1500 is taxed at 10%
The next £28000 is taxed at 22%
Any further amount is taxed at 40%
To the nearest whole pound, which of these is a valid Boundary Value Analysis test case?

£1500

£32001

£33501

£28000

11. Which one of the following describes the major benefit of verification early in the life cycle?

It allows the identification of changes in user requirements.

It facilitates timely set up of the test environment.

It reduces defect multiplication

It allows testers to become involved early in the project.

12. Which of the following should NOT normally be an objective for a test?

To find faults in the software.

To assess whether the software is ready for release.

To demonstrate that the software doesn’t work.

To prove that the software is correct.

13. Static analysis is best described as:

The analysis of batch programs.

The reviewing of test plans.

The analysis of program code.

The use of black box testing.

14. Test cases are designed during:

Test recording

Test planning.

Test configuration.

Test specification.

15. A configuration management system would NOT normally provide

Linkage of customer requirements to version numbers.

Facilities to compare test results with expected results.

The precise differences in versions of software component source code.

Restricted access to the source code library.

16. Data flow analysis studies:

Possible communications bottlenecks in a program.

The rate of change of data values as a program executes.

The use of data on paths through the code.

The intrinsic complexity of the code.

17. Which of these activities provides the biggest potential cost saving from the use of CAST?

Test management

Test design

Test execution

Test planning
