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






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






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

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






17. Linear Code Sequence and Jump.






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






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






20. Conditions required to begin testing activities.






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






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






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






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






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






26. Testing an integrated system to validate it meets requirements






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






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






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






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






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






32. A review not based on a formal documented procedure






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






34. Severity - Priority






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






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






37. Waterfall iterative-incremental "V"






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. Planning & Control - Analysis and Design - Implementation and Execution - Evaluating Exit - Criteria and Reporting - Closure
