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. Waterfall iterative-incremental "V"






2. Test case design technique used to identify bugs occurring on or around boundaries of equivalence partitions.






3. A set of conditions that a system needs to meet in order to be accepted by end users






4. Testing an integrated system to validate it meets requirements






5. All possible combinations of input values and preconditions are tested.






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






7. Begin with initial requirements specification phase end with implementation and maintenance phases with cyclical transitions in between phases.






8. Black-box techniques used to derive test cases drawing on knowledge intuition and skill of individuals.






9. Actual inputs required to execute a test case






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






11. Simple & easy to follow Its rigidity makes it easy to follow It's typically well planned - Systematic - Freezing requirements before development begins ensures no rework later Each phase has specific deliverables






12. Examine changes made to an operational system cause defects.






13. Severity - Priority






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






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






16. Measure & analyze results of testing; Monitor document share results of testing; Report information on testing; Initiate actions to improve processes; Make decisions about testing






17. Measures amount of testing performed by a collection of test cases






18. Testing performed to detect defects in interfaces and interation between integrated components. Also called "integration testing in the small".






19. Frequency of tests failing per unit of measure (e.g. time number of transactions test cases executed.)






20. Extract data from existing databases to be used during execution of tests make data anonymous generate new records populated with random data sorting records constructing a large number of similar records from a template






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






22. Occurrences that happen before and after an unexpected event






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






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






25. A technique used to improve testing coverage by deliberately introducing faults in code.






26. Testing performed based on the contract between a customer and the development organization. Customer uses results of the test to determine acceptance of software.






27. Tools used to provide support for and automation of managing various testing documents such as test policy test strategy and test plan






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






29. 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






30. Used to test the functionality of software as mentioned in software requirement specifications.






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






32. Testing performed at development organization's site but outside organization. (I.e. testing is performed by potential customers users or independent testing team)






33. A document that provides the structure for writing test cases.






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






35. Testing performed to determine whether the system meets acceptance criteria






36. Human action that generates an incorrect result.






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






38. Used to replace a component that calls another component.






39. 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






40. Fixed - Won't Fix - Later - Remind - Duplicate - Incomplete - Not a Bug - Invalid etc.






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






42. Combining components or sytems into larger structural units or subsystems.






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






44. Uses risks to: ID test techniques Determine how much testing is required Prioritize tests with high-priority risks first






45. Check to make sure a system adheres to a defined set of standards conventions or regulations in laws and similar specifications.






46. Integration Approach: A frame or backbone is created and components are progressively integrated into it.






47. White-box design technique used to design test cases for a software component using LCSAJ.






48. The smallest software item that can be tested in isolation.






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






50. An event or item that can be tested using one or more test cases
