• Question 292:

  Which of the following test design techniques is not a black box technique?

  A. Equivalence partitioning

  B. State transition testing

  C. Boundary value analysis

  D. Statement coverage

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 293:

  When an organization considers the use of testing tools, they should:

  A. Use a tool in order to help define a good test process because the tool will force process repeatability and therefore enforce good test process.

  B. Always start by bringing in automated test execution tools as these tools have the greatest return on investment and therefore should be introduced first.

  C. Perform analysis of the test process and then assess whether it can be supported through the introduction of tool support.

  D. Allow the developers to select the testing tools because tools are technical and developers have the appropriate skills to advise on test tool selection and configuration.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 294:

  A client-server system for a web development must support a minimum of 200 enquiries per hour. In peak times, it must be available 24 hours x 7 days due to the critical nature of the application, and must have a response time lower than 20 seconds during peak loads.

  Which of the following set of test types would be most appropriate to verify the non-functional requirements expressed in this statement?

  A. Performance, Usability, Regression.

  B. System, Load, Fail-over.

  C. Performance, Load, Stress.

  D. Load, Volume and Component.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 295:

  System testing is:

  A. Used to search for defects in software modules that are separately testable.

  B. The responsibility of the users of a system.

  C. Concerned with the behavior of a whole system/product as defined by the scope of a development project.

  D. Triggered by modifications, migration or retirement of the software system.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 296:

  Which of the following best describes the Black-box technique?

  A. It uses decision coverage for completeness.

  B. It ensures all possible branches in the code are tested.

  C. It is based on the internal structure of the system.

  D. It can be done without reference to the internal structure of the component or system.

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 297:

  7.

  EndIf

  8.

  End
