LEVEL EXAM 1
Question #1 (1pt) What is the test basis?
a. The point during software development when testing should start
b. The body of knowledge used for test analysis and design
c. The source to determine the actual results from a set of tests
d. The method used to systematically devise test conditions - Answers -B is correct. Per
the glossary, the test basis is "a source to determine expected results to compare with
the actual result of the system under test". A is not correct because this is usually
defined as the moment of involvement for testing. C is not correct because this is the
test oracle. D is not correct because the test basis is not a method
Question #2 (1 pt)
When the tester verifies the test basis while designing tests early in the lifecycle, which
common test objective is being achieved?
a. Gaining confidence
b. Finding defects
c. Preventing defects
d. Providing information for decision making - Answers -C is correct per the syllabus.
The other three are achieved primarily by doing dynamic testing. This is a bit tricky
because you are very likely to find defects while doing this analysis and this may lead to
either gaining or destroying confidence and needing to supply information to the
decision makers. However, the wording of the question matches the wording in the
syllabus that defines preventing defects.
Question #6 (1 pt)
,Which of the following is a true statement about exhaustive testing?
a. It is a form of stress testing
b. It is not feasible except in the case of trivial software
c. It is commonly done with test automation
d. It is normally the responsibility of the developer during unit testing - Answers -B is
correct. Exhaustive testing, all combinations of inputs and preconditions, is not feasible
unless the software is trivially simple.Otherwise it would take too long and might not
even be possible
Question #7 (1 pt)
A new retail product was released to production by your company. Shortly after the
release it was apparent that there were numerous problems with the point of sale
application. This resulted in a number of customer complaints and negative postings on
social media encouraging people to take their business to your competitor. You have
investigated the problems and have discovered that the production point of sale
equipment is a later model than the model used in testing. The software functions
correctly on the old version, but fails on the later model.
Given this scenario, what is the root cause and what is the effect?
a. The root cause is the old equipment and the effect is the new equipment
b. The root cause is the customer complaints and the effect is the social media postings
c. The root cause is conducting the testing on the wrong version of the equipment and
the effect is the custome - Answers -C is correct. The root cause is that the testing, and
maybe the development, were conducted on the wrong version of the POS equipment.
The effect of the problem is the customer complaints and the social media postings.
Question #8 (1 pt)
If you need to provide a report showing test case execution coverage of the
requirements, what do you need to track?
a. Traceability between the test cases and the requirements
b. Coverage of the risk items by test case
c. Traceability between the requirements and the risk items
d. Coverage of the requirements by the test cases that have been designed - Answers -
A is correct. In order to show the test execution coverage of the requirements you will
need traceability between the requirements and the test cases. As the test cases are
executed this traceability can be used to record tests executed against the
requirements. B is not correct because it's looking for requirements coverage, not risk
coverage. C is not correct because it's looking for test execution, not risk items. D is not
correct because it's looking for test cases that have been executed, not just designed.
Question #9 (1 pt)
, Which of the following is most correct regarding the test level at which functional tests
may be executed? ,,
a. Unit and integration
b. Integration and system
c. System and acceptance
d. All levels - Answers -D is correct. Functional testing should be conducted at all levels
Question #10 (1 pt)
Which of the following is a true statement regarding the V-model lifecycle?
a. Testing involvement starts when the code is complete
b. The test process is integrated with the development process
c. The software is built in increments and each increment has activities for
requirements, design, build and test
d. All activities for development and test are completed sequentially - Answers -B is
correct. In the V-Model, testing activities are paired with each development activity. A
and D are not correct. These behaviors are typical of a waterfall model. C is not correct.
This is typical of an incremental model.
Question #11 (1 pt)
Usability testing is an example of which type of testing?
a. Functional
b. Non-functional
c. Structural
d. Change-related - Answers -B is correct. Usability is one of the non-functional test
types according to ISO 25010
Question #12 (1 pt)
What type of testing is normally conducted to verify that a product meets a particular
regulatory requirement?
a. Unit testing
b. Integration testing
c. System testing
d. Acceptance testing - Answers -D is correct per the syllabus. Regulatory acceptance
is a form of acceptance testing. The other types of testing should be conducted as well,
but the focus on the compliance with the regulatory requirements should occur during
acceptance testing. It is a good practice to conduct this testing as early as possible, but
formal acceptance by a regulatory agency is normally done during acceptance testing.
