structural testing and functional testing are otherwise known as

Integration and regression-testing respectively
Alpha and black-box testing respectively
White-box & black-box respectively
White-box & grey-box respectively

Correct Answer

A. White-box & black-box respectively

Explanation

Structural testing and functional testing are two different types of testing in software development. Structural testing focuses on testing the internal structure of the software, examining the code and its components to ensure that they function correctly. This is why it is also known as white-box testing, as it requires knowledge of the internal workings of the software. On the other hand, functional testing is concerned with testing the software's functionality from an external perspective, without knowledge of the internal structure. This is why it is also known as black-box testing, as it treats the software as a black box where only the inputs and outputs are considered.

_ is at customer environment whereas __ is at dev environment

Correct Answer
beta testing
alpha testing

Explanation
Beta testing is conducted at the customer environment, where the software or product is tested by real users in a real-world setting. This allows for the identification of any issues or bugs that may arise in a customer's specific environment. On the other hand, alpha testing is conducted at the development environment, where the software is tested by developers and testers before it is released to the customers. Alpha testing helps to identify any major issues or bugs before moving on to beta testing.

The objective of Smoke testing is to

Test till the environment emits smoke
Test to find out in depth all the functionalities
Test to find that all core functionalities work
Test with the coverage of wider breadth without much depth

Correct Answer(s)

A. Test to find that all core functionalities work
A. Test with the coverage of wider breadth without much depth

Explanation

Smoke testing is a type of testing that focuses on quickly and superficially testing the core functionalities of a system or application. The objective is to ensure that these core functionalities are working properly before more comprehensive testing is carried out. It aims to cover a wider breadth of functionalities without going into much depth, allowing testers to quickly identify any major issues or defects. Therefore, the correct answer is "test to find that all core functionalities work, test with the coverage of wider breadth without much depth."

The metric related with Defects are and ___ covers the processes used to control, coordinate, and track: code, requirements, documentation, problems, change requests, designs, tools/compilers/libraries/patches, changes made to them, and who makes the changes.

Correct Answer(s)
Defect Density
Configuration management

Explanation
The metric related with Defects are Defect Density and Configuration management. Defect Density measures the number of defects in a software system relative to the size of the system. It helps in identifying the quality of the code and the effectiveness of the testing process. Configuration management, on the other hand, is a set of processes and tools used to control and track changes to software artifacts. It ensures that the correct versions of code, requirements, documentation, etc. are used and that changes are properly coordinated and tracked. Both metrics are important for managing and improving the quality of software development processes.

What is the difference between Functional Testing and System Testing?

Functional testing is a subset of system testing
Functional testing is a superset of system testing
System testing is a superset of BlackBox testing
Functional testing is end-2-end whereas System testing is entire functionalities

Correct Answer(s)

A. Functional testing is a subset of system testing
A. System testing is a superset of BlackBox testing

Explanation

Functional testing is a type of testing that focuses on testing the individual components or functions of a system to ensure they are working correctly. It is a subset of system testing, which involves testing the entire system as a whole to ensure it meets the specified requirements. System testing is a superset of BlackBox testing, which is a testing technique that focuses on testing the system's functionality without considering its internal structure. Therefore, the correct answer states that functional testing is a subset of system testing, and system testing is a superset of BlackBox testing.

Risk mitigation plan and contingency plan are [select one or more answers below]

One and the same
Contingency plan is to mitigate the risk
Contingency plan is a back-up plan incase of any unexpected event

Correct Answer

A. Contingency plan is a back-up plan incase of any unexpected event

Explanation

The correct answer is that a contingency plan is a back-up plan in case of any unexpected event. A contingency plan is a proactive approach to minimize the impact of unforeseen events and ensure business continuity. It involves identifying potential risks and developing alternative strategies to address them. It is not the same as a risk mitigation plan, which focuses on reducing the likelihood or severity of risks. Instead, a contingency plan serves as a safety net, providing a course of action when unexpected events occur.

Saran Sir's patented acronym P I C can be expanded as , the acronym D I L as _ and the RADCOTIF

Correct Answer
PACKAGE IMPORT CLASS
DATATYPE IDENTIFIER LITERAL
REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS DESIGN CODE TEST IMPLEMENTATION FEEDBACK

Explanation
The correct answer is "PACKAGE IMPORT CLASS, DATATYPE IDENTIFIER LITERAL, REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS DESIGN CODE TEST IMPLEMENTATION FEEDBACK". This is because the given acronyms, PIC and DIL, are expanded as such in Saran Sir's patented acronym system. Additionally, RADCOTIF is not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be expanded.
