Software Testing And Qa

Subject : it-skills
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. Integration testing is the phase of software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. It follows unit testing and precedes system testing






2. Root cause analyst - base of the problem - customer satisfaction report






3. In software development testing is usually required before release to the general public. This is known as the alpha phase.alpha testing.






4. Back end Testing means DataBase Testing. Normally a software product/application uses GUI front end for easyuser interaction.






5. Testing using input values that should be rejected by the component or system






6. Informal method of usability inspection in the field of human-computer interaction. identifying the usability problems . involves evaluators examining the interface and judging its compliance






7. All about code and profiler & comments in the code naming convention etc... coding standards.It is like transparent






8. This technique for testing computer software does not require significant advanced planning and is tolerant of limited documentation for the target-of-test.






9. Testing concerned with the accuracy of documentation.






10. Once the alpha phase is complete development enters the beta phase. Versions of the software known as beta-versions are released to a limited audience outside of the company to ensure that the product has few faults or bugs. black box






11. Form of independent - interoperable services that can be composed and recomposed to fulfill multiple business requirements. . Each service internally accesses resources including databases - business rules - client devices






12. The totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bears its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs." defined by ISO 8402 1986






13. Provide critical information during project






14. A test that exercises a feature of a product in full detail.






15. A test case design technique for a component in which test cases are designed which include representatives of boundary values - the defined limits of an output domain.






16. Flavor of Agile Testing that advocates continuous and creative evaluation of testing opportunities in light of the potential information revealed and the value of that information to the organization right now.






17. Approach to doing something that generally give good results when applied appropriately and thoughfully






18. A testing methodology in which two or more program mutations are executed using the same test cases to evaluate the ability of the test cases to detect differences in the mutations






19. Gamma testing is a little-known informal phrase that refers derisively to the release of "buggy" (defect-ridden) products.






20. Test activity aimed at proving the correct implementation of a required function at a level where the entire hardware/software chain involved in the execution of the function is available.






21. The percentage of branches that have been exercised by a test suite. 100% - Implies both 100% decision coverage and 100% statement coverage






22. A scripting technique that uses data files to contain not only test data and expected results but also keywords related to the application being tested.






23. An approach to integration testing where the lowest level components are tested first - then used to facilitate the testing of higher level components. The process is repeated until the component at the top of the hierarchy is tested.






24. Designing tests based on objectives derived from the architectural or detail design of the software (e.g. - tests that execute specific invocation paths or probe the worst case behaviour of algorithms).






25. Black-box tests conducted once the software has been integrated






26. An organizational structure consists of activities such as task allocation & coordination and supervision which are directed towards the achievement of organizational aims.[citation needed]






27. It is a whole - is the whole process form review to plans strategy and whole thing






28. Stakeholder stakeholder satisfaction with test results report






29. Testing whether the system meets its specified objectives for maintainability.






30. Use analytical risk-based testing strategies - define realistic objectives for testing - with metrics - Instititutes continuous test process improvement based on lessons learned






31. A white box test case design techniques that uses the algorithmic flow of the program to design tests






32. A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute condition outcomes and decision outcomes






33. A test suite that exercises the full functionality of a product but does not test features in detail






34. Testing in which the action of a test case is parameterized by externally defined data values - maintained as a file or spreadsheet. A common technique in Automated Testing






35. This term refers to making software specifically designed for a specific locality






36. A test case design technique for a component in which test cases are designed to execute representatives from equivalence classes






37. An analysis method that determines which parts of the software have been executed (covered) by the test case suite and which parts have not been executed and therefore may require additional attention.






38. executing the software






39. Test case design






40. An accidental condition that causes the failure of a component in the implementation model to perform its required behavior. A fault is the root cause of one or more defects identified by observing one or more failures.






41. An anomaly or flaw in a delivered work product. found during early lifecycle phases A defect can be any kind of issue you want tracked and resolved.






42. The percentage of decision outcomes that have been exercised by a test suite.






43. A system under load. modeling the expected usage of a software program by simulating multiple users accessing the program's services concurrently.






44. Knows about the software and test - no proper plan






45. Kind of unit testing - internal working of software






46. Testing in which test cases are designed based on variable usage within the code.






47. Testing which covers all combinations of input values and preconditions for an element of the software under test






48. The process of testing to determine the efficiency of a software product






49. GUI testing is the process of testing a graphical user interface to ensure it meets its written specifications






50. Measure of amount of testing performed . determined by mapping test cases to requirements - Tracebility matrix is test coverage. Number of test caes executed divided by total number of test cases
