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






2. One defect prevents the detection of another.






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






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






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






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






7. Scripting technique that uses data files to store test input expected results and keywords related to a software application being tested.






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






9. A task of maintaining and controlling changes to all entities of a system.






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






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






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






13. The process of finding analyzing and removing causes of failure in a software product.






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






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






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






17. Linear Code Sequence and Jump.






18. Testing software in its operational environment






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






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






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






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






23. Allows storage of test input and expected results in one or more central data sources or databases.






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






25. Ability of software to provide appropriate performance relative to amount of resources used.






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






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






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






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






30. Develop & proiroitize test cases Create groups of test cases Set up test environment






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






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






33. Deviation of a software system from its expected delivery services or results






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






43. Tools used to keep track of different versions variants and releases of software and test artifacts (such as design documents test plans and test cases).






44. A document that records the description of each event that occurs during the testing process and that requires further investigation






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






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






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






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






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






50. 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
