    In case of Large Systems:

    • Only few tests should be run

    • Testing should be on the basis of Risk

    • Only Good Test Cases should be executed

    • Test Cases written by good test engineers should be executed

    Correct Answer
    A. Testing should be on the basis of Risk
    Explanation
    In large systems, it is not feasible to run all possible tests due to time and resource constraints. Therefore, testing should be prioritized based on the level of risk associated with different components or functionalities of the system. By focusing on high-risk areas, the testing effort can be optimized to identify and address potential issues that could have a significant impact on the system's performance, reliability, or security. This approach ensures that the most critical aspects of the system are thoroughly tested, while minimizing the time and effort spent on less critical areas.

  • 7. 

    Which of the following has highest level of independence in which test cases are:

    • Designed by persons who write the software under test

    • Designed by a person from a different section

    • Designed by a person from a different organization

    • Designed by another person

    Correct Answer
    A. Designed by a person from a different organization
    Explanation
    Test cases that are designed by a person from a different organization have the highest level of independence. This is because individuals from different organizations may have different perspectives, experiences, and biases, leading to a more diverse and unbiased set of test cases. They are not influenced by the internal workings, knowledge, or assumptions of the organization that developed the software under test, making their test cases more objective and potentially uncovering issues that may have been overlooked by the internal team.

    Regression testing should be performed:   i. every week ii. after the software has changed iii. as often as possible iv. when the environment has changed v. when the project manager says

    • I & ii are true, iii, iv & v are false

    • Ii, iii & iv are true, i & v are false

    • Ii & iv are true, i, iii & v are false

    • Ii is true, i, iii, iv & v are false

    Correct Answer
    A. Ii & iv are true, i, iii & v are false
    Explanation
    Regression testing should be performed after the software has changed and when the environment has changed. This is because regression testing is done to ensure that the changes made to the software or the environment have not introduced any new defects or caused any previously fixed defects to reappear. Performing regression testing every week or as often as possible is not necessary unless there have been changes. The decision to perform regression testing should not be solely based on the project manager's say.

    • The purpose of testing is to demonstrate that the program does what it is supposed to do.

    • Testing is executing Software for the purpose of finding defects.

    Correct Answer
    A. Testing is executing Software for the purpose of finding defects.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Testing is executing Software for the purpose of finding defects." This definition accurately describes the main objective of testing, which is to identify and uncover any defects or errors in the software. Testing involves executing the software and observing its behavior to ensure that it functions correctly and meets the intended requirements. By actively searching for defects, testers can help improve the overall quality and reliability of the software.

    Minimum Test Required for Statement Coverage : Disc = 0 Order-qty = 0 Read Order-qty If Order-qty >=20 then Disc = 0.05 If Order-qty >=100 then Disc =0.1 End if End if

    • Statement coverage is 4

    • Statement coverage is 1

    • Statement coverage is 3

    • Statement Coverage is 2

    Correct Answer
    A. Statement coverage is 1
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Statement coverage is 1" because there are four statements in the code, but only the first statement "Disc = 0" is executed regardless of the value of Order-qty. The other statements within the if conditions are not executed because the code does not enter those conditions. Therefore, only the first statement is covered.

    • I-d , ii-a , iii-c , iv-b

    • I-c , ii-d , iii-a , iv-b

    • I-b , ii-a , iii-d , iv-c

    • I-c , ii-a , iii-d , iv-b

    Correct Answer
    A. I-c , ii-a , iii-d , iv-b
    Explanation
    The correct answer is i-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b. In the software development life cycle, the high-level design stage involves creating an overall architecture and system design, which corresponds to system tests in the testing life cycle. The code stage involves writing the actual code, which corresponds to unit tests in the testing life cycle. The low-level design stage involves creating detailed designs for individual components, which corresponds to integration tests in the testing life cycle. Finally, the business requirements stage involves defining the desired functionality of the software, which corresponds to acceptance tests in the testing life cycle.

    The structure of an incident report is covered in the Standard for Software Test Documentation IEEE 829 and is called as:

    • Anomaly Report

    • Defect Report

    • Test Defect Report

    • Test Incident Report

    Correct Answer
    A. Anomaly Report
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Test Incident Report. The Standard for Software Test Documentation IEEE 829 covers the structure of an incident report, which is also known as a Test Incident Report. An incident report is used to document any unexpected or abnormal behavior observed during the testing process. It includes information about the incident, its impact, steps to reproduce it, and recommendations for resolution. Anomaly Report, Defect Report, and Test Defect Report are not the correct names for the structure of an incident report according to IEEE 829.
