A technique based on formal requeriments

The following statement refers to decision coverage:

“When the code contains only a single ‘if’ statement and no loops or CASE statements, and its execution is not nested within the test, any single test case we run will result in 50% decision coverage.”

Which of the following statement is correct?

The statement is true. Any single test case would cause the outcome of the if statement to be either true or false

Which one of the following is the description of statement coverage?

it is a metric, which is the percentage of statements in the source code that have been executed

Which statement about the relationship between statement coverage and decision coverage is true?

100% decision coverage also guarantees 100% statement coverage

For which of the following situations is exploratory testing suitable?

When testers are available who have enough knowledge of similar applications and technologies

An employee’s bonus is to be calculated. It cannot be negative, but it can be calculated down to zero. The bonus is based on the length of employment:

• less than or equal to 2 years

• more than 2 years but less than 5 years

• 5 to 10 years inclusively

• longer than 10 years

What is the minimum number of test cases required to cover all valid equivalence partitions for calculating the bonus?

A speed control and reporting system has the following characteristics:

• If you drive 50 km/h or less, nothing will happen.

• If you drive faster than 50 km/h, but no more than 55 km/h, you will be warned.

• If you drive faster than 55 km/h but not more than 60 km/h, you will be fined.

• If you drive faster than 60 km/h, your driving license will be suspended.

• The speed in km/h is available to the system as an integer value.

Which would be the most likely set of values (km/h) identified by applying the boundary value analysis, where only the values on the boundaries of the equivalence classes are selected?

Which of the following statements BEST describes how tasks are divided between the test manager and the tester?

the test manager plans, coordinates and controls the testing activities, while the tester automates the tests

Which of the following metrics would be MOST useful to monitor during test execution?

percentage of executed test cases

Which of the following can affect and be part of the (initial) test planning?

budget limitations and test objectives

Which of the following lists contains only typical exit criteria from testing?

Realiability measures, test coverage, schedule and status about fixing defect and remaining risks

Which one of the following is NOT included in a test summary report?

Defining pass/fail criteria and objectives of testing

The project develops a "smart" heating thermostat. The control algorithms of the thermostat were modeled as Matlab/Simulink models and run on the internet connected server. The thermostat uses the specifications of the server to trigger the heating valves.

The test manager has defined the following test strategy/approach in the test plan:

1. The acceptance test for the whole system is executed as an experience-based test

2. The control algorithms on the server are tested during implementation using continuous integration

3. The functional test of the thermostat is performed as risk-based testing

4. The security tests of data / communication via the internet are executed together with external security experts

What four common types of test strategies/approaches did the test manager implement in the test plan?

analytical, model-based, consultative and reactive

Which one of the following is the characteristic of a metrics-based approach for test estimation?

budget which was used by a previous similar test project

You are testing a new version of software for a coffee machine. The machine can prepare different types of coffee based on four categories. i.e., coffee size, sugar, milk, and syrup. The criteria are as follows:

• Coffee size (small, medium, large)

• Sugar (none, 1 unit, 2 units, 3 units, 4 units)

• Milk (yes or no)

• Coffee flavor syrup (no syrup, caramel, hazelnut, vanilla)

Now you are writing a defect report with the following information:

• Title: Low coffee temperature.

• Short summary: When you select coffee with milk, the time for preparing coffee is too long and the temperature of the beverage is too low (less than 40 °C).

• Expected result: The temperature of coffee should be standard (about 75 °C).

• Degree of risk: Medium

• Priority: Normal

What valuable information was omitted in the above defect report?

identification of the tested software version

Which one of the following is MOST likely to be a benefit of test execution tools?

it is easy to run regression tests

Which one of the following test tools is mostly suitable for developers rather than testers?

Which one of the following answers describes a test condition?

A testable aspect of a component or system identified as a basis for testing

Which of the following statements is a valid objective for testing?

to validate whether the test object works as expected by the users and other stakeholders

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between testing and debugging?

Dynamic testing shows failures caused by defects; debugging eliminates the defects, which are the source of failures

ting mobile applications and achieves better results in a shorter time than others. Over several months Mr. Test did not modify the existing automated test cases and did not create any new test cases. This leads to fewer and fewer defects being found by executing the tests. What principle of testing did Mr. Test not observe?Which one of the statements below describes the most common situation for a failure discovered during testing or in production?
