A. They enhance project communication.

B. They ensure a common understanding of the product.

C. They can be performed without exercising the code.

D. They find defects early.

A. The sign-off of a performance test software release note (test item transmittal report) by both development and testing showing that system performance meets the specified acceptance criteria.

B. The percentage of requirements coverage achieved during system integration test.

C. The percentage of acceptance test procedures scheduled for execution.

D. The availability of the latest version of the capture-replay tool (for testing the interface with the newly developed test management tool).

E. The percentage of decision coverage achieved during unit testing.

A. The process of testing to determine the compliance of a system to coding standards.

B. The process of testing an integrated system to verify that it meets specified requirements.

C. Testing without reference to the internal structure of a system.

D. Testing system attributes, such as usability, reliability or maintainability.

A. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to the test environment and uses testing tools to perform regression testing

B. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to delivered software and uses impact analysis to minimise the amount of regression testing needed

C. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to the software environment and uses structural testing to ensure the changes function correctly

D. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to software under development before initial delivery and uses the test plan to determine how much regression testing to do

A. The types of test techniques to be employed.

B. The total tests needed to provide 100 per cent coverage.

C. Only that test execution is effective at reducing risk.

D. An estimation of the total cost of testing.

A. $33,501

B. $5,000

C. $28,000

D. $1,500

A. The choice of software development model depends on product and project characteristics

B. The agile development model is usually most appropriate for short projects

C. The 4 stage V model is always the best choice of software development model for any project

D. The 2 stage V model is the most appropriate development model for simple products

A. A test report showing requirements coverage

B. A requirements review meeting

C. Performing acceptance tests against requirements

D. A business analyst eliciting requirements

A. Developers loose the sense of responsibility and independent testers may become a bottleneck.

B. Developer and independent testing will overlap and waste resources.

C. Independent testers need extra education and always cost more.

D. Independent testers will become a bottleneck and introduce problems in incident management.

A. A potential infinite loop

B. Memory leakage

C. Spelling mistake on an error message

D. A variable set to the wrong value

A. The method used for test estimation is not accurate enough and hence the money spent on testing exceeded its budget.

B. The concerns over the user interface raises the likelihood of a risk in that area and increases the amount of test effort needed for the user interface, thereby limiting the test effort available for other parts of the test management tool.

C. The delivery of the application without the interface changes may upset the user community.

D. The concerns over the user interface may lead to changes to the interface which cannot be implemented by development in time for the second test iteration.
