  • 2. 

    A program with high cyclomatic complexity is most likely to be:

    • Large

    • Small

    • Difficult to write

    • Difficult to test

    Correct Answer
    A. Difficult to test
    Explanation
    Cyclomatic complexity is a measure of how complex a program is, which can make testing difficult. It can we worked out by adding up the number of binary decision statements (e.g. if, while, for, etc.) and adding 1 to the result.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is the most important criterion in deciding which testing technique to use?

    • How well you know a particular technique.

    • The objective of the test.

    • How appropriate the technique is for testing the application.

    • Whether there is a tool to support the technique.

    Correct Answer
    A. The objective of the test.
    Explanation
    You might have picked response C for this question, but B is a little bit more accurate.

    Rate this question:

    • Verification activities (reviews, inspections, etc.) should not involve testers.

    • Test environments should be as similar to production environments as possible.

    Correct Answer
    A. Verification activities (reviews, inspections, etc.) should not involve testers.
    Explanation
    Testing staff should definitely be involved in verification activities.

    Rate this question:

    A test design technique is:

    • A process for selecting test cases.

    • A process for determining expected outputs.

    • A way to measure the quality of software.

    • A way to measure in a test plan what has to be done.

    Correct Answer
    A. A process for selecting test cases.
    Explanation
    In the ISTQB Glossary it is defined as "a procedure used to derive and/or select test cases".

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    If testing uncovers a fault just before go-live, which of the following statements is true?

    • Faults in program specifications are the most expensive to fix.

    • Faults in code are the most expensive to fix.

    • Faults in requirements are the most expensive to fix.

    • Faults in designs are the most expensive to fix.

    Correct Answer
    A. Faults in requirements are the most expensive to fix.
    Explanation
    The earlier a fault occurs, the more expensive it is to fix later. This is why we should be involved right from the requirements stage, to help the BAs write unambiguous and testable requirements.
