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. Bug fault internal error problem etc. Flaw in software that causes it to fail to perform its required functions.






2. Occurrences that happen before and after an unexpected event






3. Conditions required to begin testing activities.






4. Review documents (reqs architecture design etc.) ID conditions to be tested Design tests Assess testability of reqs ID infrastructure & tools






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






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






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






8. Record details of test cases executed Record order of execution record results






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






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






11. One defect prevents the detection of another.






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






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






14. A review not based on a formal documented procedure






15. Inputs - Expected Results - Actual Results - Anomalies - Date & Time - Procedure Step - Attempts to repeat - Testers - Observers






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






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






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






19. Black-box testing technique used to create groups of input conditions that create the same kind of output.






20. 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






21. The capability of a software product to provide functions that address explicit and implicit requirements from the product against specified conditions.






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






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






24. Increased load (transations) used to test behavior of system under high volume.






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






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






27. Based on analysis of functional specifications of a system.






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






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






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






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






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






33. Response of the application to an input






34. Testing an integrated system to validate it meets requirements






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






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






37. Assessment of changes required to different layers of documentation and software to implement a given change to the original requirements.






38. Tool or hardware device that runs in parallel to assembled component. It manages records and analyzes the behavior of the tested system.






39. Metric used to calculate the number of combinations of all single condition outcomes within one statement that are executed by a test case.






40. 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






41. Testing software in its operational environment






42. Process used to create a SW product from initial conception to public release






43. The capability of a software product to provide agreed and correct output with the required degree of precision






44. 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






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






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






47. A test case design technique for a software component to ensure that the outcome of a decision point or branch in cod is tested.






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






49. Integration approach components or subsystems are combined all at once rather than in stages.






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