Correct Answer
A. Primarily unit level and code focused, helping the developer with a clearly defined expected resultExplanation
Test-First Development is a software development approach where tests are written before the actual code. This approach is primarily unit level and code focused, meaning it focuses on testing individual units of code. By writing tests first, it helps the developer to have a clearly defined expected result in mind before writing the actual code. This ensures that the code meets the desired functionality and helps in catching any potential bugs or issues early in the development process.Rate this question:

- B.
Primarily unit level and code focused
- C.
Number of test cases increases with every new piece of code
- D.
Helps with creating user stories
Correct Answer
D. Helps with creating user storiesExplanation
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a software development approach where tests are written before the actual code. It is primarily unit level and code focused, as it aims to ensure that each unit of code functions correctly. The number of test cases increases with every new piece of code, as each new functionality needs to be tested thoroughly. However, TDD does not directly help with creating user stories. User stories are typically used in Agile development to capture requirements from the user's perspective. TDD focuses more on the technical implementation and ensuring the correctness of the code.Rate this question:

- D.
All of them are true.
Correct Answer
B. Creates reusable test cases for regression suiteExplanation
Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) focuses on creating test cases that define the desired behavior of the software system from the perspective of the end user. These test cases are created collaboratively by the development team and stakeholders, and they serve as a specification for the system's functionality. As a result, these test cases can be reused for regression testing, ensuring that any changes or updates to the system do not introduce new bugs or break existing functionality. Therefore, the statement "creates reusable test cases for regression suite" is true.Rate this question:

Which one is false about acceptance-test driven development?
- A.
Created during user story development, thus helping to create better user stories
- B.
Helps stakeholder to understand how the software should behave
- C.
Helps to define what the team needs to implement expected behavior
- D.
Gives developer clearly defined expected result to code on.
- E.
Helps to create reusable test cases for regression test suite.
Correct Answer
D. Gives developer clearly defined expected result to code on.Explanation
Acceptance-test driven development (ATDD) is a development approach where acceptance tests are created before the implementation of the software. These tests help to define the expected behavior of the software and ensure that it meets the requirements of the stakeholders. ATDD involves collaboration between the development team and the stakeholders, helping them to understand how the software should behave. It also helps to create better user stories by identifying the expected behavior upfront. ATDD does not give the developer a clearly defined expected result to code on, as the implementation comes after the acceptance tests are created.Rate this question:
