b and c.

c and d.

Q146. Which of the following statements about static analysis are FALSE?
I. Static analysis can be used instead of dynamic testing.
II. Static analysis can uncover defects like security vulnerabilities.
III. Static analysis can be used to check conformance to specifications and standards.
IV. Static analysis typically defects failures prior to component testing.

Q147. What is the ideal number of regression test cycles?

As many as time and budget allow

Until the quality requirements are met

Q148. Which of the following statements contradicts the general principles of testing?

If new defects are to be found, we should run the same test set more often.

How testing is done, is based on the situation in a particular project.

Testing is better if it starts at the beginning of a project.

Most defects are found in a small subset of a system’s modules.

Q149. A web application for calculation of mortgage loan has 3 input fields:
1. Civil status: Married / Not married
2. Equity: 0 – 100,000 EUR, 100,001 – 500,000 EUR, more than 500,000 EUR
3. Requested amount of the loan: 0 – 100,000 EUR, 100,001 – 500,000 EUR, 500,001 – 800,000 EUR In addition, 2 different loan types can be chosen.
The application has to be tested for 2 web browsers.
How many test cases are necessary to cover all possible combinations in equivalence class testing?

Q150. When testing a mission critical system, a high coverage should be achieved. Which of the following techniques should be implemented as a structural based coverage technique in order to achieve the highest coverage?

multiple condition coverage

decision table

use case testing

statement coverage

Q151. Which of the following defect types are LEAST likely to be discovered when using static analysis tools?

Variables that are never used

Coding standard violations

Memory leaks

Uncalled functions and procedures

Q152. Refer to the exhibit, the Cambrian Pullman Express has special ticketing requirements represented by the partial decision table below.

Carol has a student railcard and is travelling on a Flexible Standard Class ticket. James has a senior railcard and is travelling on a super saver ticket. Which of the options represents the correct actions for these two test cases?

Carol is eligible to upgrade; James cannot use the service

Carol is OK to travel; James is eligible for an upgrade

Carol and James are both eligible to upgrade

Carol is OK to travel; James cannot use the service

Q153. Which of the following BEST describes a methodical approach to the Error Guessing test technique?

A tester dynamically designs and executes tests based on their knowledge, exploration of the test item and the results of previous tests.

An experienced tester makes a list of potential defects and failures, and designs and runs tests to generate these failures should the defects be present in the code.

A tester designs, implements and executes tests to cover test conditions found in checklists that are based on what is important for the user.

An inexperienced tester is asked to attempt to guess errors that may have been missed by experienced testers during formal test design.

Q154. Which of the following is a factor that could negatively influence the success of the deployment of a tool within an organization?

Introducing the tool to all the test learns of the organization at the same time

Collecting usage information of the tool from the early projects

Providing training and coaching for new users of the tool

Adapting and improving the processes to the usage of the tool

Q155. A company wants to enforce use of coding standards.
Which type of test tool would you recommend for this purpose?

Test execution tool

Modeling tool

Configuration management tool

Static analysis tool

Q156. Which of the following statements describes a key principle of software testing?

Automated tests allow better statements of confidence about the quality of software products.

For a software system, it is normally impossible to test all the input and output combinations.

Exhaustive software testing is, with enough effort and tool support, feasible for all software.

The purpose of software testing is demonstrating the absence of defects in software products.

Q157. Which of the following would be the most significant input to estimating the time to carry out the specified testing tasks?

Q160. Which of the following DOES NOT describe “component testing”?

Component testing tests interfaces between modules and interactions of different parts of a system.

Component testing occurs with access to the code being tested and with the support of a development environment, such as a unit test framework or debugging tool

Component testing verifies the functioning of. software modules, programs, objects, classes, etc.
that are separately testable.

In component testing stubs, drivers and simulators may be usefully utilized to facilitate tester activity
