Why is testing necessary?

A) Rigorous testing of components and systems, and the documentation, can help reduce the risk of failures occurring during operation.

B) The root causes of defects are the earliest actions or conditions that contributed to creating the defects.

C) Testing is done differently in different contexts.

D) Expect that just finding and fixing a large number of defects will ensure the success of a system.

Which of the following is a correct statement?

A) A developer makes a mistake which causes a defect that may be seen as a failure during dynamic testing

B) A developer makes an error which results in a failure that may be seen as a fault when the software is executed

C) A developer has introduced a failure which results in a defect that may be seen as a mistake during dynamic testing

D) A developer makes a mistake which causes a bug that may be seen as a defect when the software is executed

Which of the following is a true statement about exhaustive testing?

A) It is a form of stress testing

B) It is not feasible except in the case of trivial software

C) It is commonly done with test automation

D) It is normally the responsibility of the developer during unit testing

A new retail product was released to production by your company. Shortly after the release it was apparent that there were numerous problems with the point of sale application. This resulted in a number of customer complaints and negative postings on social media encouraging people to take their business to your competitor. You have investigated the problems and have discovered that the production point of sale equipment is a later model than the model used in testing. The software functions correctly on the old version, but fails on the later model.
Given this scenario, what is the root cause and what is the effect?

A) The root cause is the old equipment and the effect is the new equipment

B) The root cause is the customer complaints and the effect is the social media postings

C) The root cause is conducting the testing on the wrong version of the equipment and the effect is the customer complaints and postings

D) The root cause is the software failing on the later model and the effect is the customer complaints

In what way does root cause analysis contribute to process improvement?

A) Helps to better identify and correct the root cause of defects

B) Outlines how development teams can code faster

C) Specifies the desired root causes to be achieved by other teams

D) Contributes to the justification of future project funding

Why is it important to avoid the pesticide paradox?

A) Dynamic testing is less reliable in finding bugs

B) Pesticides mixed with static testing can allow bugs to escape detection

C) Tests should not be context dependent

D) Running the same tests over and over will reduce the chance of finding new defects

Which of the following is the correct statement?

A) An error causes a failure which results in a defect

B) A defect causes a failure which results in an error

C) A failure is observed as an error and the root cause is the defect

D) An error causes a defect which is observed as a failure

As a result of risk analysis, more testing is being directed to those areas of the system under test where initial testing found more defects than average.
Which of the following testing principles is being applied?

A) Beware of the pesticide paradox

B) Testing is context dependent

C) Absence-of-errors is a fallacy

D) Defects cluster together

What is the correct order?

A) Quality Management > Quality Control > Quality Assurance > Testing

B) Quality Assurance > Quality Management > Quality Control > Testing

C) Quality Management > Quality Assurance > Quality Control > Testing

D) Quality Assurance > Quality Control > Quality Management > Testing
