• Question 48:

  2.

  Integration testing

  3.

  System testing

  4.

  Acceptance testing

  An organization wants to do away with integration testing but otherwise follow V-model.

  Which of the following statements is correct?

  A. It is allowed because integration testing is not an important test level and can be dispensed with.

  B. It is not allowed as organizations can't change the test levels as these are chosen on the basis of the SDLC (software development life cycle) model

  C. It is allowed as organizations can decide on which test levels to do depending on the context of the system under test.

  D. It is no allowed because integration testing is a very important test level and ignoring it means definite poor product quality.

  Correct Answer: D
