Which type of test design techniques does the following statement best describe ' a procedure to derive test cases based on the specifications of a component'?

Black Box Techniques.

White Box Techniques.

Grey Box Techniques.

Experience Based Techniques.

Maintenance testing is:

Updating tests when the software has changed

Testing a released system that has been changed

Testing by users to ensure that the system meets a business need

Testing to maintain business advantage

According to the ISTQB Glossary, regression testing is required for what purpose?

To verify the success of corrective actions.

To prevent a task from being incorrectly considered completed.

To ensure that defects have not been introduced by a modification

To motivate better unit testing by the programmers.

For which of the following would maintenance testing be used?

Correction of defects during the development phase.

Planned enhancements to an existing operational system.

Complaints about system quality during user acceptance testing.

Integrating functions during the development of a new system.

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

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

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.

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

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

Acceptance testing may occur at more than just a single test level. With the exception of:

A COTS software product may be acceptance tested when it is installed or integrated.

Acceptance testing of the usability of a component may be done during component testing.

Acceptance testing after a change has been released to the user community.

Acceptance testing of a new functional enhancement may come before system testing.

Which of the following is TRUE?

Confirmation testing is testing fixes to a set of defects and Regression testing is testing to establish whether any defects have been introduced as a result of changes.

Confirmation testing is testing to establish whether any defects have been introduced as a result of changes and Regression testing is testing fixes to a set of defects.

Confirmation testing and Regression testing are both testing to establish whether any defects have been introduced as a result of changes.

Confirmation testing and Regression testing are both testing fixes to a set of defects.

During this event, the entire system is tested to verify that all functional information structural and quality requirements have been met. A predetermined combination of tests is designed that when executed successfully satisfy management that the system meets specifications.

Which statement below BEST describes non-functional testing?

The process of testing an integrated system to verify that it meets specified requirements.

The process of testing to determine the compliance of a system to coding standards.

Testing without reference to the internal structure of a system.

Testing system attributes, such as usability, reliability or maintainability.
