A company recently purchases a commercial off-the-shelf application to automate their bill-
paying process. They now plan to run an acceptance test against the package prior to putting it
into production. Which of the following is their most likely reason for testing?
a. To build confidence in the application
b. to detect bugs in the application
c. to gather evidence for a lawsuit
d. to train the users. a correct answer According to the ISTQB Glossary, the word 'bug' is
synonymous with which of the following words?
a. Incident
b. Defect
c. Mistake
d. Error b correct answer According to the ISTQB Glossary, a risk relates to:
a. negative feedback to the tester
b. negative consequences that will occur
c. negative consequences that could occur
d. negative consequences for the test object c correct answer Ensuring that test design starts
during the requirements definition phase is important to enable which of the following test
objectives?
a. Preventing defects in the system.
b. Finding defects through dynamic testing.
c. Gaining confidence in the system.
d. Finishing the project on time. a correct answer A test team consistently finds between
90% and 95% of the defects present in the system under test. While the test manager understands
that this is a good defect-detection percentage for her test team and industry, senior management
and executives remain disappointed in the test group, saying that the test team misses too many
bugs. Given that the users are generally happy with the system and that the failures which have
occurred have generally been low impact, which of the following testing principles is most likely
to help the test manager explain to these managers and executives why some defects are likely to
be missed?

d. Absence-of-errors fallacy a correct answer According to the ISTQB Glossary, regression
testing is required for what purpose?

,and maintain good relationships between testers and
developers?

b. Explaining test results in a neutral fashion.
c. Identifying potential customer work-arounds for bugs.
d. Promoting better quality software whenever possible. b correct answer Which of the
statements below is the best assessment of how the test principles apply across the test life cycle?
a. Test principles only affect the preparation for testing.
b. Test principles only affect test execution activities.
c. Test principles affect the early test activities such as review.
d. Test principles affect activities throughout the test life cycle. d correct answer What are
good practices for testing within the development life cycle?
a. Early test analysis and design.
b. Different test levels are defined with specific objectives.
c. Testers will start to get involved as soon as coding is done.
d. A and B above. d correct answer Which option best describes objectives for test levels
with a life cycle model?
A. Objectives should be generic for any test level.
B. Objectives are the same for each test level.
C. The objectives of a test level don't need to be defined in advance.
D. Each level has objectives specific to that level. d correct answer Which of the following is a
test type?
A. Component testing
B. Functional testing
C. System testing
D. Acceptance testing b correct answer Which of the following is a nonfunctional quality
characteristic?

B. Checking the effect of high volumes of traffic in a call-center system.
C. Checking the on-line bookings screen information and the database contents against the
information on the letter to the customers.
D. Checking how easy the system is to use. c correct answer Which of the following is a true
statement regarding the process of fixing emergency changes?
A. There is no time to test the change before it goes live, so only the best developers should do
this work and should not involve testers as they slow down the process.
B. Just run the retest of the defect actually fixed.
, C. Always run a full regression test of the whole system in case other parts of the system have
been adversely affected.
D. Retest the changed area and then use risk assessment to decide on a reasonable subset of the
whole regression test to run in case other parts of the system have been adversely affected.
d correct answer A regression test:
a. Is only run once.
b. Will always be automated.
c. Will check unchanged areas of the software to see if they have been affected.
d. Will check changed areas of the software to see if they have been affected. c correct
answer Non-functional testing includes:
a. Testing to see where the system does not func tion correctly.
b. Testing the quality attributes of the system including reliability and usability.
c. Gaining user approval for the system.
d. Testing a system feature using only the software required for that function b correct
answer Beta testing is:
A. Performed by customers at their own site
B. Performed by customers at their software developer for a site
C. Performed by an independent test team
D. Useful to test bespoke software
E. Performed as early as possible in the lifecycle a correct answer Which of the following
artifacts can be examined by using review techniques?

B. Requirements specification
C. Test designs
D. All of the above d correct answer Which statement about the function of a static analysis
tool is true?
