GCSE Y12 Software Testing Retrieval Practice

What is the purpose of an effective test plan?

• To reduce the cost of the application

• To increase the development time

• To eliminate the need for user feedback

• To ensure errors in the application are detected

What should a test plan include?

• Only valid data

• Correct data, incorrect data, null data, and extreme data

• Only null data

• Only incorrect data

What is extreme data?

• Data used to test the system with very large or very small values

• Data that is always invalid

• Data that is always null

• Data that is always valid

What is black box testing?

• Testing where the tester is unaware of the internal structure

• Testing only the user interface

• Testing where the tester knows the internal structure

• Testing only the database

What is white box testing?

• Testing only the user interface

• Testing only the database

• Testing where the tester is unaware of the internal structure

• Testing where the tester examines the underlying structure of the application

What is a dry run in the context of white box testing?

• A paper-based exercise to go through the solution step by step

• A method to test the network

• A method to test the user interface

• A method to test the database

What is the purpose of a trace table?

• To document the user interface design

• To analyze network traffic

• To examine the contents of variables during code execution

• To test the database schema

What is invalid data?

• Data that is always extreme

• Data that is always null

• Data used to test that the system can process invalid data without crashing

• Data that is always valid

What is null data?

• Data used to test that the system can cope when no data is entered

• Data that is always extreme

• Data that is always invalid

• Data that is always valid

What is the main focus of black box testing?

• Analyzing network traffic

• Testing the database schema

• Testing the general interface and operation of the application

• Examining the underlying code
