Considerations in selecting a tool are the following except:

Estimation of cost-benefit ratio based on a concrete business case.

Assess whether the benefits will be achieved at reasonable cost.

Evaluation of the vendor.

Identification of internal requirements for coaching and mentoring in the use of the tool.

Of the following, which is a potential benefit for using tools?

Early defects found early.

Greater consistency and maintainability.

Repetitive work is multiplied.

Objective assessment.

Used to evaluate the ability of the software to protect data confidentiality.

Determines differences between files, databases or test results.

A software tool or hardware device that runs concurrently with the component under test and supervises records and/or analyses the behavior of the component or system.

A tool that supports stress testing.

A tool that provides support for the review process.

A tool that provides support for enforcing coding standards, analysis of structures and dependencies.

These manipulate databases, files or data transmissions to set up test data to be used during the execution of tests to ensure security through data anonymity.

Reusable and extensible testing libraries that can be used to build testing tools.

Activities supported by test tools are the following, EXCEPT:

Tools that are directly used in testing such as test execution tools, test data generation tools and result comparison tools.

Any tool that aids in testing.

Tools that avoid fault multiplication.

Tools that help in managing the testing process such as those used to manage tests, test results, data, etc., and for reporting and monitoring test execution.

Which is a purpose of tool support for testing?

Objective assessment.

Repetitive work is reduced.

Greater consistency and repeatability

Increase reliability of testing.

All are NOT Static Testing tools, EXCEPT

Test Data Preparation Tools.

Test Execution Tools

Modeling Tools

Configuration Management Tools.

A tool that provides support for the identification and control of configuration items, their status over changes and versions, and the releases of baselines consisting of configuration items.

A tool used by programmers to reproduce failures, investigate the state of programs and find the corresponding defect.

A test environment comprised of stubs and drivers needed to execute a test.

The effect on the component or system by the measurement instrument when the component or system is being measured.

A test tool to perform automated test comparison of actual results with expected results.

A programming language in which executable test scripts are written.

Dynamic analysis tools find defects that are evident only when software is prior to starting and during execution.

True

False

One of the objectives when introducing a selected testing tool is to learn more detail about the tool.

True

False.

Providing training and coaching/mentoring for new users is a success factor for the deployment of a tool.

True

False

Evaluation of training needs considering previous test team's test automation skills is one of the considerations in selecting a tool.

True

False

Test management tools don't need to interface with other tools or spreadsheets in order to produce useful information ina format that fits the needs of the organization.

True

False

One risk of using tools is: underestimating the time, cost and effort for the initial introduction of a tool.

True

False

There are tools for usability testing.

True

False

A test framework is not a design of test automation.

True

False

Test Specification tools generate test inputs or executable tests and/or test oracles from requirements, graphical user interfaces, design models or code.

True

False

Management tools apply apply only to some test activities over the entire software life cycle.

True.

False
