Correct Answer
D. Planning, kick off, preparation, meeting, rework, follow up.Explanation
The phases of a formal review usually occur in the following order: planning, kick off, preparation, meeting, rework, and follow up. This sequence ensures that the necessary preparations are made before the review meeting takes place. The planning phase involves determining the objectives, scope, and participants of the review. The kick off phase involves initiating the review process and setting expectations. The preparation phase involves gathering and reviewing the necessary documents or materials. The meeting phase is where the actual review takes place, with discussions and evaluations. The rework phase involves addressing any identified issues or making necessary changes. Finally, the follow up phase ensures that the outcomes and actions from the review are documented and implemented.Rate this question:

Which of the following are valid objectives for incident reports? i. Provide developers and other parties with feedback about the problem to enable identification, isolation and correction as necessary. ii. Provide ideas for test process improvement. iii. Provide a vehicle for assessing tester competence. iv. Provide testers with a means of tracking the quality of the system under test.
- A.
i, ii, iii.
- B.
i, ii, iv.
- C.
i, iii, iv.
- D.
ii, iii, iv.
Correct Answer
B. i, ii, iv.Explanation
The correct answer is i, ii, iv. Incident reports serve multiple purposes, including providing feedback to developers and other parties to help identify and correct problems, providing ideas for test process improvement, and allowing testers to track the quality of the system under test. Assessing tester competence is not typically an objective of incident reports.Rate this question:

Consider the following techniques. Which are static and which are dynamic techniques? i. Equivalence Partitioning. ii. Use Case Testing. iii.Data Flow Analysis. iv.Exploratory Testing. v. Decision Testing. vi Inspections.
- A.
I-iv are static, v-vi are dynamic.
- B.
Iii and vi are static, i, ii, iv and v are dynamic.
- C.
Ii, iii and vi are static, i, iv and v are dynamic.
- D.
Vi is static, i-v are dynamic.
Correct Answer
B. Iii and vi are static, i, ii, iv and v are dynamic.Explanation
The correct answer is iii and vi are static, i, ii, iv and v are dynamic. This is because Equivalence Partitioning, Use Case Testing, Exploratory Testing, and Decision Testing are all dynamic techniques that involve executing the software and observing its behavior. On the other hand, Data Flow Analysis and Inspections are static techniques that involve analyzing the software without executing it.Rate this question:

Why are static testing and dynamic testing described as complementary?
- A.
Because they share the aim of identifying defects and find the same types of defect.
- B.
Because they have different aims and differ in the types of defect they find.
- C.
Because they have different aims but find the same types of defect.
- D.
Because they share the aim of identifying defects but differ in the types of defect they find.
Correct Answer
D. Because they share the aim of identifying defects but differ in the types of defect they find.Explanation
Static testing and dynamic testing are described as complementary because they both aim to identify defects in software, but they differ in the types of defects they find. Static testing involves reviewing and analyzing the software code, requirements, and design documents to identify defects, while dynamic testing involves executing the software and observing its behavior to find defects. Therefore, both types of testing are necessary to ensure comprehensive defect identification and improve the overall quality of the software.Rate this question:

Which of the following are disadvantages of capturing tests by recording the actions of a manual tester? i The script may be unstable when unexpected events occur. ii Data for a number of similar tests is automatically stored separately from the script. iii Expected results must be added to the captured script. iv The captured script documents the exact inputs entered by the tester. v When replaying a captured test, the tester may need to debug the script if it doesn’t play correctly.
- A.
i, iii, iv, v.
- B.
ii, iv and v.
- C.
I, ii and iv.
- D.
I and v.
Correct Answer
A. i, iii, iv, v.Explanation
Capturing tests by recording the actions of a manual tester has several disadvantages. Firstly, the script may become unstable when unexpected events occur, making it difficult to accurately replay the test. Secondly, data for similar tests is stored separately from the script, which can lead to confusion and inefficiency. Thirdly, expected results must be manually added to the captured script, increasing the chance of errors. Lastly, when replaying a captured test, the tester may need to debug the script if it doesn't play correctly, adding extra time and effort to the testing process.Rate this question:

Which of the following is determined by the level of product risk identified?
- A.
Extent of testing.
- B.
Scope for the use of test automation.
- C.
Size of the test team.
- D.
Requirement for regression testing.
Correct Answer
A. Extent of testing.Explanation
The level of product risk identified directly affects the extent of testing that needs to be conducted. Higher levels of product risk require more extensive testing to ensure that all potential issues and vulnerabilities are identified and addressed. Therefore, the extent of testing is determined by the level of product risk identified.Rate this question:
