Test your basic knowledge |

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Allows storage of test input and expected results in one or more central data sources or databases.






2. Testing software in its operational environment






3. Commercial Off-The-Shelf products. Products developed for the general market as opposed to those developed for a specific customer.






4. Tests interfaces between components and between integrated components and systems.






5. Events that occurred during the testing process our investigation.






6. Insertion of additional code in the existing program in order to count coverage items.






7. Behavior or response of a software application that you observe when you execute the action steps in the test case.






8. Enables testers to prove that functionality between two or more communicating systems or components is IAW requriements.






9. Tracing requirements for a level of testing using test documentation from the test plan to the test script.






10. Special-purpose software used to simulate a component called by the component under test






11. Conditions required to begin testing activities.






12. Informal testing technique in which test planning and execution run in parallel






13. ID SW products - components - risks - objectives; Estimate effort; Consider approach; Ensure adherence to organization policies; Determine team structure; Set up test environment; Schedule testing tasks & activities






14. Waterfall iterative-incremental "V"






15. Calculates the number of executed branch outcomes in code.






16. A functional testing approach in which test cases are designed based on business processes.






17. Based on the generic iterative-incremental model. Teams work by dividing project tasks into small increments involving only short-term planning to implement various iterations






18. A code metric that specifies the number of independent paths through a program. Enables identification of complex (and therefore high-risk) areas of code.






19. The ratio between the number of defects found and the size of the component/system tested.






20. Operational testing performed at an _external_ site without involvement of the developing organization.






21. Execute individual & groups of test cases Record results Compare results with expected Report differenes between actual & expected Re-execute to verify fixes






22. Tests functional or nonfunctional attributes of a system or its components but without referring to the internal structure of the system or its components






23. Software products or applications designed to automate manual testing tasks.






24. Incident Report - Identifier - Summary - Incident - Description - Impact






25. Tools used by developers to identify defects in programs.






26. Incremental rollout Adapt processes testware etc. to fit with use of tool Adequate training Define guidelines for use of tool (from pilot project) Implement continuous improvement mechanism Monitor use of tool Implement ways to learn lessons






27. Nonfunctional testing including testing: ease of fixing defects - ease of meeting new requirements - ease of maintenance






28. Ad hoc method of exposing bugs based on past knowledge and experience of experts (e.g. empty strings illegal characters empty files etc.).






29. A component of the incident report that determines the actual effect of the incident on the software and its users.






30. Unconfirmed - New - Open - Assigned - Resolved - Verified - Closed






31. Requirements Analysis - Design - Coding - Integration - Implementation - Maintenance






32. Testing an integrated system to validate it meets requirements






33. Tools used to store and manage incidents return phone defects failures or anomalies.






34. Components are integrated in the order in which they are developed






35. Input or combination of inputs required to test software.






36. A type of review that involves visual examination of documents to detect defects such as violations of development standards and non-conformance to higher-level documentation.






37. Sequence in which data items are accessed or modified by code.






38. A review not based on a formal documented procedure






39. Testing software components that are separately testable. Also module program and unit testing.






40. Ease with which software cna be modified to correct defects meet new requirements make future maintenance easier or adapt to a changed environment.






41. Not related to the actual functionality e.g. reliability efficiency usability maintainability portability etc.






42. Conditions ensuring testing process is complete and the object being tested is ready for next stage.






43. Scheduling Tests Manage test activities Provide interfaces to different tools provide traceability of tests Log test results Prepare progress reports






44. A table showing combinations of inputs and their associated actions.






45. Components are combined and tested in the order in which basic functionalities start working






46. Integrate different kinds of tools to make test management more efficient and simple.






47. Abilitiy of software to collaborate with one or more specified systems subsystem or components.






48. Components or subsystems are integrated and tested one or some at a time until all the components are subsystems are integrated and tested.






49. A black-box test design technique used to identify possible causes of a problem by using the cause-effect diagram






50. Special additions or changes to the environment required to run a test case.
