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. Fuzz testing is a software testing technique. The basic idea is to attach the inputs of a program to a source of random data. extremely simple and free of preconceptions about system behavior.






2. Integration testing where system components are integrated into the system one at a time until the entire system is integrated.






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






4. 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.






5. Can't see - test the functional testing - no access to code and testing is done on UI






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






7. A portion of a component's input or output domains for which the component's behaviour is assumed to be the same from the component's specification






8. The number of defects identified in a component or system divided by the size of the component or system (expressed in standard measurement terms - e.g. lines-ofcode or number of classes or function points)






9. 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.






10. Risk based questions - depends on the schedule and risk based - business impact follow the 20-80 rules






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






12. Model-based testing refers to software testing where test cases are derived in whole or in part from a model that describes some (usually functional) aspects of the system under test.






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






14. Multi-user testing geared towards determining the effects of accessing the same application code - module or database records. Identifies and measures the level of locking - deadlocking and use of single-threaded code and locking semaphores






15. executing the software






16. The percentage of executable statements that have been exercised by a test suite.






17. A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute branches.






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






19. Provide critical information during project






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






21. Examines an application's requirements for pre-existing software - initial states and configuration in order to maintain proper functionality






22. 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






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






24. The expected results or performance characteristics that define whether the test cases passed or failed






25. Test case design






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






27. Determine whether a system meets some specified standard. external organization as complying with the standard






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






29. Testing concerned with the accuracy of documentation.






30. The process of testing to determine the interoperability of a software product






31. 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






32. Testing software through executing it.






33. Application Under Test






34. Similar to black box testing - structure of test cases in order to find defects and its strutured






35. A test case design technique for a component in which test cases are designed to execute branch outcomes. A test method satisfying coverage criteria that require that for each decision point - each possible branch be executed at least once.






36. The typical grey box tester is permitted to set up or manipulate the testing environment - like seeding a database






37. A white box testing technique that exercises program loops






38. 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






39. 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.






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






41. A variation of Regression Testing. Testing conducted with multiple cycles in which errors found in test cycle N are resolved and the solution is retested in test cycle N+.






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






43. A basic block that can be selected for execution based on a program construct in which one of two or more alternative program path is available






44. Kind of unit testing - internal working of software






45. Defined as any testing that occurs outside of the development environment. installed on. simply appear to be to run a setup program - can be used with confidence






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






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






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






49. Depends on the schedule and risk based - business impact follow the 20-80 rules






50. Testing one particular module - functionality heavily
