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






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






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






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






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






6. Conditions required to begin testing activities.






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






8. 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).






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






10. Requirements that determine the functionality of a software system.






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






12. 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






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






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






15. A review not based on a formal documented procedure






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






17. 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






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






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






20. Waterfall iterative-incremental "V"






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






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






23. Linear Code Sequence and Jump.






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






25. Input or combination of inputs required to test software.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. Severity - Priority






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






36. Response of the application to an input






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






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






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. A metric to calculate the number of SINGLE condition outcomes that can independently affect the decision outcome.






41. One defect prevents the detection of another.






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






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






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






45. 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






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






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






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






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






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