a. During the planning activities
b. During the implementation and execution activities
c. During the monitoring activities
d. During all the activities - Answers -d. During all the activities
Control occurs throughout the project to ensure that it is staying on track based on the

fundamental test process?
a. Test planning
b. Test analysis and design
c. Test implementation and execution
d. Evaluating exit criteria - Answers -b. Test analysis and design
, The design and prioritization of the high level test cases happens during test analysis
and design. Prioritization of the test procedures happens during implementation and

Which of the following is the lowest level of independence?
a. Tests are designed by the person who wrote the code
b. Tests are designed by a developer other than the one who wrote the code
c. Tests are designed by an independent test team
d. Tests are designed by an outsourced test team - Answers -a. Tests are designed by
the person who wrote the code
When the person who wrote the code is the person designing the tests, that is the

causes a defect that may be seen as a failure during dynamic testing.
The developer makes a mistake/error which causes a defect/fault/bug which may cause
a failure when the code is dynamically tested or executed.
B is incorrect because fault and failure are reversed.
C is incorrect because failure and mistake are reversed.

The failure is a symptom of the
defect.
