A testing team defines the following objective: "To identify and fix defects in the new accounting software." Is this a valid test objective?

c) no, fixing defects is part of the development process, not testing

What is the main difference between debugging triggered by dynamic testing and static testing?

d) static testing finds defects without causing failures, while dynamic testing can lead to failures

What is not typically considered as a test objective?

b) triggering errors and finding mistakes

Which choice most correctly outlines the key difference between testing and debugging?

c) Testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of finding failures, while debugging is the process of locating, analyzing and fixing the cause of the failures

Which of the following statements is a valid objective for testing?

a) Building confidence in the quality level of the test object by reducing the risk level

After fixing a defect that was identified through dynamic testing, what activity should ideally follow to ensure the problem is resolved?

b) confirmation testing

Which of the following statements describe a valid test objective?

c) validating whether the test object works as expected by the stakeholders and verifying whether specified requirements have been fulfilled

Which of the following is true about the static testing?

a) the static testing finds faults directly in the test object

Which of the following is a typical objective of testing?

d) ensuring required coverage of a test object

A failure was encountered during dynamic testing. The developer found the cause of the failure and fixed the defect. Your task involves checking whether the fix caused failures in other parts of the system.

What activity are you performing?

a) regression testing

Which of the following is true about dynamic testing?

a) dynamic testing triggers failures that are caused by faults

Which of the following statements BEST describes the difference between testing and debugging?

c) testing determines that defects exist while debugging removes defects

Which is NOT the testing activity:

d) to identify the root causes of defects

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between testing and debugging?

b) dynamic testing shows failures caused by defects; debugging eliminates the defects, which are the source of failures

What is the sequence of activities in the typical debugging process when dynamic testing triggers a failure in the software?

a) reproduction of a failure, diagnosis, fixing the cause

Which of the following is NOT a valid test objective?

a) conducting random tests when there is not enough time for complete testing

Which testing activity directly identifies defects without causing failures?

b) Static testing

Which of the following is NOT a typical test objective?

c) reducing the time allocated for testing

What is the first step of the debugging process when the failure is triggered by dynamic testing?

c) to reproduce the failure

Which of the following statements is a valid objective for testing?

a) building confidence in the quality level of the test object by reducing the risk level

Which of the following statements accurately describes the primary difference between testing and debugging?

d) testing aims to ensure the quality of the software by evaluating its behavior against expected outcomes while debugging is the process of troubleshooting and rectifying defects found during testing

Identify the invalid test objective from the options:

b) to ensure that developers reach 100% statement coverage during unit testing

What is the purpose of regression testing in the debugging process?

c) to check whether the fixes are causing failures in other parts of the test object

Which of the following is not a valid test objective?

d) confirming that the system won’t crash in production

Which of the following statements accurately describes the primary difference between testing and debugging?

a) Testing involves verifying whether the software meets specified requirements while debugging focuses on identifying and fixing defects in the code

Which of the following is NOT a typical objective of testing?

c) Train the end-users on the software for beta testing

Who is preferably responsible for confirmation testing after debugging?

a) The same tester who originally identified the defect

Which of the following is NOT a valid test objective?

b) To ensure the test environment is identical to the production environment in every detail

Which of the following is NOT a role of a tester in the debugging process?

c) Fixing defects

Which statement accurately describes the significance of test objectives in the software development process?

d) Test objectives help prioritize testing activities to meet project goals

What is the primary goal of debugging in the software development process?

c) To locate and fix defects identified during testing

You are a software development manager.  Your testers have identified several defects in the latest build.  How does this finding relate to the objectives of testing?

b) It demonstrates successful achievement of the objective of defect identification

What is the purpose of confirmation testing in the debugging process?
