Which one of the following is the BEST definition of an incremental development model?

• Defining requirements, designing software and testing are done in a series with added pieces

• A phase in the development process should begin when the previous phase is complete

• Testing is viewed as a separate phase which takes place after development has been completed

• Testing is added to development as an increment

Which of the following is a true statement regarding the V-model lifecycle?

• Testing involvement starts when the code is complete

• The test process is integrated with the development process

• The software is built in increments and each increment has activities for requirements, design, build and test

• All activities for development and test are completed sequentially

In an iterative lifecycle model, which of the following is an accurate statement about testing activities?

• For every development activity, there should be a corresponding testing activity

• For every testing activity, appropriate documentation should be produced, versioned and stored

• For every development activity resulting in code, there should be a testing activity to document test cases

• For every testing activity, metrics should be recorded and posted to a metrics dashboard for all stakeholders

Which of the following comparisons of component testing and system testing is true?

• Component testing verifies the functioning of software modules, program objects, and classes that are separately testable, whereas system testing verifies interfaces between components and interactions with different parts of the system

• Test cases for component testing are usually derived from component specifications, design specifications, or data models, whereas test cases for system testing are usually derived from requirement specifications, functional specifications or use cases

• Component testing focuses on functional characteristics, whereas system testing focuses on functional and non-functional characteristics

• Component testing is the responsibility of the technical testers, whereas system testing typically is the responsibility of the users of the system

What type of testing is normally conducted to verify that a product meets a particular regulatory requirement?

• Unit Testing

• Integration Testing

• System Testing

• Acceptance Testing

Use cases are a test basis for which level of testing?

• Unit

• System

• Load and performance

• Usability

Which one of the following is TRUE?

• The purpose of regression testing is to check if the correction has been successfully implemented, while the purpose of confirmation testing is to confirm that the correction has no side effects

• The purpose of regression testing is to detect unintended side effects, while the purpose of confirmation testing is to check if the system is still working in a new environment

• The purpose of regression testing is to detect unintended side effects, while the purpose of confirmation testing is to check if the original defect has been fixed

• The purpose of regression testing is to check if the new functionality is working, while the purpose of confirmation testing is to check if the originally defect has been fixed.

Which of the following is most correct regarding the test level at which functional tests may be executed?

• Unit and integration

• Integration and system

• System and acceptance

• All levels

Usability testing is an example of which type of testing?

• Functional

• Non-functional

• Structural

• Change-related

You have been receiving daily builds from the developers. Even though they are documenting the fixes they are including in each build, you are finding that the fixes either aren’t in the build or are not working. What type of testing is best suited for finding these issues?

• Unit Testing

• System Testing

• Confirmation Testing

• Regression Testing
