Which of the following comparisons of component testing and system testing are TRUE? [K2]

Which of the following are the main phases of a formal review? [K1]

Which TWO of the review types below are the BEST fitted (most adequate) options to choose for reviewing safety critical components in a software project? [K2]

Which of the following statements about static analysis is FALSE? [K1]

A defect was found during testing. When the network got disconnected while receiving data from a server, the system crashed. The defect was fixed by correcting the code that checked the network availability during data transfer. The existing test cases covered 100% of all statements of the corresponding module. To verify the fix and ensure more extensive coverage, some new tests were designed and added to the test suite. [K3]

What types of testing are mentioned above?

A. Functional testing.

B. Structural testing.

D. Performance testing.

Which of the following statements are true for the equivalence partitioning test technique? [K2]

A. Divides possible inputs into classes that have the same behaviour.

B. Uses both valid and invalid partitions.

C. Makes use only of valid partitions.

D. Must include at least two values from every equivalence partition.

E. Can be used only for testing equivalence partitions inputs from a Graphical User Interface.

Which TWO of the following solutions below lists techniques that can all be categorized as Black Box design techniques? [K1]

Select 2 options.

An employee’s bonus is to be calculated. It cannot become negative, but it can be calculated to zero. The bonus is based in the duration of the employment. An employee can be employed for less that or equal to 2 years, more than 2 years but less than 5 years, 5 to 10 years, or longer than 10 years. Depending on this period of employment, an employee will get either no bonus or a bonus of 10%, 25% or 35%.[K3]

How many equivalence partitions are needed to test the calculation of the bonus?

B. Deriving test cases from use cases is helpful only for automated testing.

C. Deriving test cases from use cases is helpful for component testing.

D. Deriving test cases from use cases is helpful for testing the interaction between different components of the system.
