• Question 404:

  Which of the following statements BEST describes one of the seven key principles of software testing?

  A. Automated tests are better than manual tests for avoiding the Exhaustive Testing.

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

• Question 407:

  What should be the MAIN objective during development testing?

  A. To cause as many failures as possible so that defects in the software are identified and can be fixed

  B. To confirm that the system works as expected and that requirements have been met

  C. To assess the quality of the software with no intention of fixing defects

• Question 408:

  Which of the following is the main purpose of the component build and integration strategy?

  A. to ensure that all of the small components are tested

  B. to ensure that the system interfaces to other systems and networks

  C. to ensure that the integration testing can be performed by a small team

  D. to specify how the software should be divided into components

  E. to specify which components to combine when, and how many at once

  Correct Answer: E

• Question 409:

  Reporting Discrepancies as incidents is a part of which phase:

  A. Test Analysis and Design

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 410:

  Important consequences of the impossibility of complete testing are:

  A. We can never be certain that the program is bug free.

  B. We have no definite stopping point for testing, which makes it easier for some managers to argue for very little testing.

  C. We have no easy answer for what testing tasks should always be required, because every task takes time that could be spent on other high importance tasks.

  D. All of the above

  Correct Answer: D
