NEW QUESTION 82
Which of the following statements about re-testing and regression testing are TRUE?
I Re-testing should be performed after a defect is fixed.
II Regression testing should always be performed after a defect is fixed.
III. Re-testing and regression testing may be performed at any test level.
IV Regression testing may include functional, non-functional and structural testing.
V. Re-testing should be included in the debugging activity.

I, III. Iv

II, v

I, Ill

II. IV, V

The following statements about re-testing and regression testing are true:
* I) Re-testing should be performed after a defect is fixed. Re-testing is a type of testing that verifies that a defect has been successfully resolved by executing a test case that previously failed due to that defect.
Re-testing should be performed after a defect is fixed and delivered to ensure that it does not cause any new failures or side effects.
* III) Re-testing and regression testing may be performed at any test level. Re-testing and regression testing are not limited to a specific test level, but can be applied at any level depending on the context and objectives. For example, re-testing and regression testing can be performed at unit level, integration level, system level or acceptance level.
* IV) Regression testing may include functional, non-functional and structural testing. Regression testing is a type of testing that verifies that previously tested software still performs correctly after changes.
Regression testing may include various types of testing depending on the scope and purpose of the changes. For example, regression testing may include functional testing to check if the software meets its requirements, non-functional testing to check if the software meets its quality attributes, or structural testing to check if the software meets its design or code standards. The following statement about re- testing and regression testing is false:
* II) Regression testing should always be performed after a defect is fixed. Regression testing is not always necessary after a defect is fixed, as some defects may have a low impact or low likelihood of affecting other parts of the software. Regression testing should be performed after a defect is fixed only if there is a risk of introducing new defects or causing existing defects due to the changes made to fix the defect.

NEW QUESTION 83
In addition to thorough testing of the requirements specification, a development team aims to involve users as early as possible in the development process, using practices such as prototyping, to ensure that the software systems being developed will meet the users’ expectations. This approach is especially useful at mitigating the risks associated with one of the seven testing principles, which one?

Tests wear out

Absence-of-errors fallacy

Working software over comprehensive documentation.

Defects cluster together

NEW QUESTION 84
Which type of software development product can undergo static testing?

Any software development product can undergo static testing, including requirements specifications, design specifications and code.

Static tests should be performed on the installation and user guide documents as these documents are used by the end user.

Static testing is done only on the code as part of the “code review” sessions Other documents are reviewed, but not by static testing.

Static testing is done only on the requirements You need to execute the software in order to find defects in the code.

NEW QUESTION 85
Which of the following BEST describes a benefit of test automation?

More subjective assessment

Reduction in repetitive manual work

Availability of the test automation tool vendor

Negligible effort to maintain the test assets generated by the tool

NEW QUESTION 86
Which of the following statements about independent testing is WRONG?

Independent testing is necessary because developers don’t know any testing.

Independent testing is best suited for the system test level.

A certain degree of independence makes the tester more effective at finding defects.

Independent test teams may find other types of detects than developers who are familiar with the system’s structure.

NEW QUESTION 87
Which statement best describes the key difference between a mindset for test activities and a mindset for development activities?

A tester possesses professional pessimism while a developer is concerned with validating the product

A tester is concerned with finding defects while a developer is interested in designing solutions

A tester is interested in building solutions while a developer is concerned with verifying the product

A tester is concerned with verifying the product while a developer possesses professional pessimism

NEW QUESTION 88
Which of the following is MOST likely to be an example of a PROJECT risk?

Select the correct answer:

Test planning.

Test analysis.

Test design.

Test monitoring and control.

NEW QUESTION 91
In what way do Configuration Management effects testing?

Without proper configuration management, test planning cannot proceed.

Proper configuration management ensures that testers can uniquely identity the tested item

Configuration management is important for developers, not for testers

There is very little influence of configuration management practices on the test project.

NEW QUESTION 92
Which one of the following statements relating to the benefits of static testing is NOT correct?

Static testing enables early detection of defects before dynamic testing is performed.

Static testing reduces testing costs and time.

Static testing increases development costs and time.

NEW QUESTION 97
Given the following requirement:
Requirement ID: 2 8
Requirement Description Additional Entrance Fee
Detailed Description
An additional fee of S3 is charged during the weekend, but
1) Visitors aged under 7 are not charged.
2) Visitors aged 7 to 13 inclusive get a 20% discount off the additional fee.
3) Visitors aged greater than 65 get a 50% discount off the additional fee.
Age should be an integer of 0 or above.
Weekend means Friday to Sunday inclusive.
Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

Thursday is a valid input boundary value.

A minimum of 6 valid test cases are derived from boundary value analysis based on input age.

$3.01 is a valid output boundary value.

7 and 13 are boundary values for the equivalence partition including age 10.

Boundary value analysis is a technique that tests boundary values between partitions of equivalent data.
Boundary values are values at the edge of an equivalence partition or at the smallest incremental distance on either side of an edge. Boundary value analysis can be applied to both input and output values. Based on the given requirement, we can identify two input values: age and weekend. Age should be an integer of 0 or above, and weekend means Friday to Sunday inclusive. The following statement is not correct:
* A) Thursday is a valid input boundary value. This statement is not correct, as Thursday is not a boundary value for the input weekend. The boundary values for the input weekend are Friday and Sunday, as they are at the edge of the equivalence partition that represents weekend days. The following statements are correct:
* B) A minimum of 6 valid test cases are derived from boundary value analysis based on input age. This statement is correct, as we can derive six valid test cases based on input age by using the minimum and maximum values for each equivalence partition defined by the requirement. The equivalence partitions
* for input age are: under 7 (0 to 6), 7 to 13 inclusive (7 to 13), and greater than 65 (66 and above). The minimum and maximum values for each partition are: 0 and 6, 7 and 13, and 66 and any value above it.
* C) $3.01 is a valid output boundary value. This statement is correct, as $3.01 is a boundary value for the output additional fee. The additional fee can have four possible values depending on the input age: $0 (for visitors aged under 7), $2.40 (for visitors aged 7 to 13 inclusive with a 20% discount), $1.50 (for visitors aged greater than 65 with a 50% discount), and $3 (for visitors aged between 14 and 65). The boundary values for the output additional fee are $0 and $3, as they are at the edge of an equivalence partition or at the smallest incremental distance on either side of an edge. Therefore, $3.01 is a valid output boundary value, as it is at the smallest incremental distance above $3.
* D) 7 and 13 are boundary values for the equivalence partition including age 10. This statement is correct, as 7 and 13 are boundary values for the equivalence partition that represents visitors aged 7 to
13 inclusive. This partition includes age 10, which is an internal value within the partition. Verified References: [A Study Guide to the ISTQB Foundation Level 2018 Syllabus – Springer], Chapter 4, page 37-38.
