Unit 3 Static Testing Techniques

Static analysis is best described as:

• The analysis of batch programs.

• The reviewing of test plans.

• The analysis of program code.

• The use of black box testing.

Static Analysis...

• Same as static testing

• Done by the developers

• Both A. and B

• None of the above

What can static analysis NOT find?

• The use of a variable before it has been defined

• Unreachable ("dead") code

• Whether the value stored in a variable is correct

• Array bound violations<

For which of the following would a static analysis tool be MOST useful?

• Supporting reviews.

• alidating models of the software.

• Testing code executed in a special test harness.

• Enforcement of coding standards.

Which of the following is true about Formal Review or Inspection:

i. Led by Trained Moderator (not the author).

ii. No Pre Meeting Preparations

iii. Formal Follow up process.

iv. Main Objective is to find defects

• ii is true and i,iii,iv are false

• i,iii,iv are true and ii is false

• i,iii,iv are false and ii is true

• iii is true and I,ii,iv are false

Which statements correctly describe certain phases of a formal review?

• Looking for defects occurs during kick-off phase

  Fixing defects found happens during rework phase

• Personnel selection occurs during planning phase

  Gathering metrics happens during the review meeting phase

• Distributing documents occurs during the planning phase

  Personal review happens during individual preparation phase

• Personnel selection occurs during planning phase

  Fixing defects found happens during rework phase

In which phase static tests are used

• Requirements

• Design

• Coding

• All of the above

tatic code analysis typically identifies all but one of the following problems. Which is it?

• Unreachable code

• Undeclared variable

• Faults in the requirements

• Too few comments

Which of the following are the main phases of a formal review?

• Initiation, status, preparation, review meeting, rework, follow up.

• Planning, preparation, review meeting, rework, closure, follow up.

• Planning, kick off, individual preparation, review meeting, rework, follow up.

• Preparation, review meeting, rework, closure, follow up, root cause<br>analysis.

What is the main cartoon character in the series “Peanuts”?

• Bart Simpson

• Mr. Crabs

• Charlie Brown
