White-box testing is equally useful for low-level and high-level testing
- D.
Experience-based testing should be applied after systematic test methods have been used.
Correct Answer
D. Experience-based testing should be applied after systematic test methods have been used.Explanation
Experience-based testing should be applied after systematic test methods have been used because systematic test methods, such as specification-based testing or structure-based testing, provide a structured and planned approach to testing. These methods ensure that all requirements and functionalities are tested thoroughly. Once systematic test methods have been exhausted, experience-based testing can be used to complement and enhance the testing process. Experience-based testing relies on the tester's knowledge, skills, and intuition to identify potential defects or issues that may not have been covered by the systematic methods. By applying experience-based testing after systematic methods, the overall test coverage and effectiveness can be improved.Rate this question:

- D.
Planning, analysis and design, implementation and execution, evaluation exit criteria and reporting, test closure activities
Correct Answer
D. Planning, analysis and design, implementation and execution, evaluation exit criteria and reporting, test closure activitiesExplanation
The correct answer is "Planning, analysis and design, implementation and execution, evaluation exit criteria and reporting, test closure activities." This sequence represents the main activities of the fundamental test process. It starts with planning, analysis, and design, which involve understanding the requirements, identifying test conditions, and creating test cases. Then, implementation and execution involve executing the test cases and logging any defects found. Evaluation of exit criteria and reporting is done to assess if the testing is complete and to report the test results. Finally, test closure activities are performed to ensure that all necessary documentation is completed and the testing process is properly closed.Rate this question:

Which type of automation test design is used in the example below, An automation team designs an automation framework for testing of their web based applications. Realizing that they need to use different test cycles, they decide not to hardcode any data in their scripts. Instead they read all the data from text files while test execution is in progress.Select one:
- A.
Dynamic test design
- B.
Keyword-driven
- C.
data coverage analysis
- D.
Data driven
Correct Answer
D. Data drivenExplanation
The correct answer is "data driven". In the given example, the automation team designs an automation framework for testing web-based applications and decides not to hardcode any data in their scripts. Instead, they read all the data from text files during test execution. This approach of using external data files to drive the test cases is known as data-driven testing. It allows for flexibility and reusability as the test scripts can be executed with different sets of data without the need for modifying the scripts themselves.Rate this question:

In what way do configuration management effects testing?Select one:
- A.
There is very little influence of configuration management practices on the test project
- B.
Without proper configuration management, test planning cannot proceed
- C.
Configuration management is important for developers, not for testers
- D.
Proper configuration management ensures that testers can uniquely identify the tested item
Correct Answer
D. Proper configuration management ensures that testers can uniquely identify the tested itemExplanation
Proper configuration management ensures that testers can uniquely identify the tested item. This means that configuration management allows testers to accurately and precisely identify the specific version or configuration of the software or system that is being tested. This is crucial for effective testing because it ensures that testers are testing the correct version and can track any changes or issues that may arise during testing. Without proper configuration management, testers may mistakenly test the wrong version or configuration, leading to inaccurate results and potential issues in the software or system.Rate this question:
