Identify the incorrect statement.

It is possible to perform all types of tests manually.

A test suite consists of a set of test cases that are automated along with the scenarios associated with them.

Test automation is also a product development since it involves the creation of automated tests.

Test automation should allow human intervention when required.

Automated testing requires more skills for test teams than manual testing.

Identify the incorrect statement.

If a set of test cases need to be executed n times over a certain period, the effort required for automating these tests must not exceed n times the effort required for executing the test cases manually.

The user-interface of a software product should be considered separately from the rest of the product when selecting parts of the product for test automation.

The development of test automation for a product can proceed in parallel with the product development.

Automation is ideal for those applications where requirements go through frequent changes.

Identify the incorrect statement.

Available test tools often require customization to meet a customer’s needs.

Test tools are often one generation behind the product they are designed to test.

It is important to test the test tools first.

Test tools available in the market generally provide source code for extending functionality.

Test automation is typically a long-term investment.

The following facts will not lead to a decision in favor of automating a certain type of test:

The number of computers involved in the test is not large and the test duration is relatively short

The cost of the test tool is low

Adequate time for designing test scripts is available

Skilled personnel for designing test scripts are available

The likelihood of the product requirements changing over time is high

While automating, the basic functionalities of the product (those unlikely to change much over time) should be prioritized first, so that they can be subjected to automated______________ testing in every new build.

Regression

Pregression

Identify the incorrect statement(s).

Meeting all functional requirements ensures software security.

Testing to ensure only correct user names are accepted during log in is a test for software security.

Testing to ensure only correct user passwords are accepted during log in is a test for software security.

Testing to ensure both correct user names and corresponding passwords are accepted during log in is a test for software security.

Testing for inputs that are not part of the requirements specification is testing for software security.

Identify the incorrect statement(s).

In a thoroughly tested software product, a security breach should not happen if users behave according to expectations.

Security breaches originate from incorrect assumptions about user behavior.

A hacker is anyone who gains unauthorized access into an information system.

A thoroughly tested user authentication system can prevent security breaches.

Security testing should only be done after a product has passed all other types of tests.

One approach to testing for software security is to find the ____________’s assumptions and violate those assumptions to uncover any vulnerabilities

Developer

Tester

This is an attack on a computer system that takes advantage of a particular vulnerability that the system offers to intruders.

Port scan

Denial of service

Exploit

Logic bomb

What will or will not be tested in a software testing project is defined by the ___________ of testing.

Boundaries

Scope

In identifying features for testing, the following should be given priority:

A feature that was shown to be error prone in the previous test cycle.

A feature that was left out of the previous test cycle

A feature that was added since the previous test cycle

A feature whose failure would impact the client severely

A feature that is inexpensive – in terms of time and effort – to test.

Identify the incorrect statement:

The actual amount of testing to be done depends on the size of the product.

Automation increases the size of the testing task.

The number of screens and transactions involved can be used as a measure of the size of a product, which in turn can determine the size of the testing task.

Reuse of past test cases by an organization is not a sign of test process robustness and thus should be avoided

It is possible to quantify risks in a software testing project as numbers

The following is(are) example(s) of internal testing standards:

File naming convention followed within an organization

Requirement of both header and inline comments in test scripts

Pre-defined acceptance test suite

The content and format of test reports

Standard interfaces to external entities like operating systems.

The following item is not part of test case specification:

List of features to be tested

Expected results

(For automated testing) a file containing test input values

A defect repository detailing defects reported for the product to be tested

Test execution steps

A requirements __________________ is used to keep track of every requirement and make sure it is tested.
