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






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






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






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






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






7. Sequence in which instructions are executed through a component or system






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






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






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






11. Specific groups that represent a set of valid or invalid partitions for input conditions.






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






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






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






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






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






17. Component - Integration - System - Acceptance






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






19. A unique identifier for each incident report generated during test execution.






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






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






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






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






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






25. Tools used to identify and calculate coverage items in program code.






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






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






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






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






30. A metric used to calculate the number of ALL condition or sub-expression outcomes in code that are executed by a test suite.






31. Conditions required to begin testing activities.






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. 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






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






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






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






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






38. An analysis that determines the portion of code on software executed by a set of test cases






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






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






41. Testing software in its operational environment






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






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






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






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






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






47. Find defects in code while the software application being tested is running.






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






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






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