- A.
The test manager should do only automated regression testing.
- B.
The test manager is justified in her decision because no bug has been fixed in other modules
- C.
The test manager should only do confirmation testing. There is no need to do regression testing
- D.
Regression testing should be done on other modules as well because fixing one module may affect other modules
Correct Answer
D. Regression testing should be done on other modules as well because fixing one module may affect other modulesExplanation
The correct answer is that regression testing should be done on other modules as well because fixing one module may affect other modules. This is because even though all the bugs are in the reports module, fixing these bugs may have unintended consequences on other modules. Regression testing is necessary to ensure that the fixes do not introduce new bugs or cause issues in other parts of the software. Therefore, it is important to conduct regression testing on all modules to ensure the overall stability and functionality of the software.Rate this question:

Which of the following is correct about static analysis tools?
- A.
Static analysis tools are used only by developers
- B.
Compilers may offer some support for static analysis
- C.
Static analysis tools help find failures rather than defects
- D.
Static analysis tools require execution of the code to analyze the coverage
Correct Answer
B. Compilers may offer some support for static analysisExplanation
Compilers may offer some support for static analysis. This means that compilers, which are software programs that translate source code into machine code, may have built-in features or options that can perform static analysis on the code being compiled. This support can help identify potential issues or errors in the code without actually executing it. However, static analysis tools are not limited to developers or compilers, and their main purpose is to find failures or defects in the code rather than analyzing code coverage.Rate this question:

- A.
State transition testing, code testing, agile testing
- B.
Equivalence partitioning, state transition testing, decision table testing
- C.
System testing, acceptance testing, equivalence partitioning
- D.
System integration testing, system testing, decision table testing
Correct Answer
B. Equivalence partitioning, state transition testing, decision table testingExplanation
Black box testing is a technique where the internal structure or implementation details of the system under test are not known to the tester. The tester focuses on the inputs and outputs of the system without considering how the system processes the inputs to produce the outputs.
Equivalence partitioning, state transition testing, and decision table testing are all black box testing techniques. Equivalence partitioning divides the input domain into classes of data that are expected to be treated the same way by the system. State transition testing focuses on the transitions between different states of the system. Decision table testing involves creating a table to represent different combinations of inputs and their corresponding expected outputs. All of these techniques can be used without any knowledge of the internal code or implementation details of the system.Rate this question:

Re-testing is done after faults are fixed; regression testing is done earlier
- D.
Re-testing is done by developers; regression testing is done by independent testers
Correct Answer
A. Re-testing ensures the original fault has been removed; regression testing looks for unexpected side-effectsExplanation
Re-testing focuses on ensuring that the original fault or bug has been successfully removed from the system. It involves executing the same test cases that previously failed to verify if the fix has resolved the issue. On the other hand, regression testing is performed to identify any unexpected side-effects or new bugs introduced as a result of the recent changes or fixes made to the software. It aims to ensure that the previously working functionalities have not been negatively impacted by the modifications.Rate this question:

Expected results are:
- A.
Only important in system testing
- B.
Only used in component testing
- C.
Most useful when specified in advance
- D.
Derived from the code
Correct Answer
A. Only important in system testingExplanation
This answer suggests that expected results are only important in system testing. This means that during the testing of the entire system, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of what results are expected from the system. This helps in determining whether the system is functioning correctly or not. In other types of testing, such as component testing, the focus may be more on testing individual components rather than the overall expected results of the system. Additionally, having expected results specified in advance is considered most useful as it provides a clear benchmark for evaluating the system's performance. The expected results are not derived from the code itself but are determined based on the system's requirements and specifications.Rate this question:

Which of the following uses Impact Analysis most?
- A.
Component testing
- B.
Non-functional system testing
- C.
User acceptance testing
- D.
Maintenance testing
Correct Answer
B. Non-functional system testingExplanation
Impact analysis is a technique used to assess the potential effects or consequences of changes to a system. Non-functional system testing focuses on evaluating the system's performance, reliability, security, and other non-functional aspects. This type of testing requires understanding the impact of changes to these non-functional requirements. Therefore, non-functional system testing is the most likely to use impact analysis to ensure that any changes made do not negatively affect the system's non-functional aspects.Rate this question:

What is NOT included in typical costs for an inspection process?
- A.
Setting up forms and databases
- B.
Analysing metrics and improving processes
- C.
Writing the documents to be inspected
- D.
Time spent on the document outside the meeting
Correct Answer
D. Time spent on the document outside the meetingExplanation
The typical costs for an inspection process include setting up forms and databases, analyzing metrics and improving processes, and writing the documents to be inspected. However, the time spent on the document outside the meeting is not included in these costs. This suggests that the inspection process only factors in the time spent during the actual meeting, rather than any additional time spent on the document outside of that specific context.Rate this question:
