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






3. 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.






4. executing the software






5. Involves testing the systems responsible for the initiation and maintenance of user sessions. This will require testing the Input validation of login fields & Cookie security and Lockout testing . permitting unauthorised access.






6. 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.






7. Tests that use representative sets of programs and data designed to evaluate the performance of computer hardware and software in a given configuration






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






9. They arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design that prevents it from working correctly or produces an incorrect result






10. 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






11. A white box testing technique that exercises program loops






12. Kind of unit testing - internal working of software






13. 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






14. 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.






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






16. 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






17. 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






18. 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






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






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






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






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






23. 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






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






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






26. A test that a user/sponsor and manufacturer/producer jointly perform on a finished - engineered product/system through black-box testing - as functional test & beta test & QA test & application test & confidence test & final test or end user test






27. A service oriented architecture (SOA) is a design model which relies on a collection of loosely coupled self contained services that communicate with each other through the internet and can be called from multiple clients in a standard fashion






28. Black box testing - concrete box or functional testing is used to check that the outputs of a program - given certain inputs - conform to the functional specification of the program. It performs testing based on previously understood requirements (or






29. 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.






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






31. Testing conducted to evaluate whether systems or components pass data and control correctly to each other.






32. Testing carried out using no recognised test case design technique. It is also known as Exploratory Testing






33. The testing of individual software components.






34. Formal or informal testing conducted during the implementation of a component or system usually in the development environment by developers






35. Testing whether the system is compatible with other systems with which it should communicate.






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






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






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






39. 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)






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






41. Testing software through executing it.






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






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






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






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






46. Testing a system or an Application on the fly - i.e just few tests here and there to ensure the system or an application does not crash out






47. A black box test design techniques in which test cases are designed to execute the combinations of inputs and/or stimuli (causes) shown in a decision table






48. Testing one particular module - functionality heavily






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






50. Component testing of individual components in isolation from surrounding components - with surrounding components being simulated by stubs
