A. No priority or severity assigned

B. Incident numbering is manual rather than automated

C. No mentioning of reproduceability

D. No classification on type of incident

Which of the following comparisons of component testing and system testing are TRUE?

A. Component testing verifies the functioning of software modules, program objects, and classes that are separately testable, whereas system testing verifies interfaces between components and interactions with different parts of the system.

B. Test cases for component testing are usually derived from component specifications, design specifications, or data models, whereas test cases for system testing are usually derived from requirement specifications, functional specifications or use cases.

C. Component testing focuses on functional characteristics, whereas system testing focuses on functional and non-functional characteristics.

D. Component testing is the responsibility of the technical testers, whereas system testing typically is the responsibility of the users of the system.

Which of the following statements BEST describes the difference between testing and debugging?

A. Testing pinpoints (identifies the source of) the defects. Debugging analyzes the faults and proposes prevention activities.

B. Dynamic testing shows failures caused by defects. Debugging finds, analyzes, and removes the causes of failures in the software.

C. Testing removes faults. Debugging identifies the causes of failures.

D. Dynamic testing prevents causes of failures. Debugging removes the failures.

Which of the following is not a part of the Test Implementation and Execution Phase?

A. Creating test suites from the test cases

B. Executing test cases either manually or by using test execution tools

C. Comparing actual results

D. Designing the Tests

What is static analysis?

A. The decision between using white or black box test techniques.

B. Executing software to validate the most common path through the code.

C. A technique to find defects in software source code and software models, performed without executing code.

D. It is a testing technique used during system testing.

Equivalence Partitioning is best defined as:

A. An analysis technique that divides inputs into groups that are expected to exhibit similar behaviors.

B. Applying to time-related data classes only.

C. A form of white-box testing.

D. A method to reduce test coverage.
