Question 1

The order in which test levels are performed is:
A)unit, integration, acceptance, system
B)unit, system, integration, acceptance
C)unit, integration, system, acceptance
D)it depends on the nature of a project

Accepted Answer

The order in which test levels are performed can indeed depend on the nature of a project. While a common sequence is unit, integration, system, and then acceptance testing (C), variations can occur based on project requirements, methodology (e.g., Agile, Waterfall), and other factors.

Question 2

System testing is a
A)black box testing
B)grey box testing
C)white box testing
D)both a and b

Accepted Answer

System testing is considered black box testing because it involves testing the system as a whole from an external perspective, without knowledge of the internal workings of the software.

Question 3

What is "V" Model?
A)test design technique
B)test type
C)sdlc model
D)test level

Accepted Answer

The "V" Model is a software development lifecycle (SDLC) model that emphasizes the importance of verification and validation. It is called the "V" Model because its process is often represented as a V-shaped diagram that illustrates the relationships between each phase of development and its associated phase of testing.

Question 4

Test cases are designed during which of the following stages?
A)test recording
B)test configuration
C)test planning
D)test specification

Accepted Answer

The answer of Test cases are designed during which of...

Question 5

The technique applied for usability testing is:
A)white box
B)grey box
C)black box
D)combination of all

Accepted Answer

Usability testing is a type of black box testing where the focus is on the user's ease of using an application, the flexibility of the application to handle controls, and the ability of the application to meet its objectives without the tester having any knowledge of the internal workings or code structure of the application.

Question 6

Which of the following is not a Test Type?
A)database testing
B)security testing
C)statement testing
D)functional testing

Accepted Answer

Statement testing is not a test type; it is a test design technique used in white box testing to ensure that each statement in the code has been executed at least once. The other options (database testing, security testing, and functional testing) are recognized types of testing focused on different aspects of software quality.

Question 7

White-box testing can be started:
A)after installation
B)after srs creation
C)after programming
D)after designing

Accepted Answer

White-box testing can be started after programming because it involves testing the internal structures or workings of an application, which requires the code to be written.

Question 8

Beta Testing is done at:
A)developer's end
B)user's end
C)user's & developer's end
D)none of the mentioned

Accepted Answer

Beta testing is conducted at the user's end. It involves releasing the beta version of the software to a limited audience outside of the programming team, but not to the general public, to ensure the product works in real-world situations and to identify any bugs or issues from the user's perspective.

Question 9

A program with high cyclometic complexity is likely to be:
A)large
B)small
C)difficult to write
D)difficult to test

Accepted Answer

Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric used to measure the complexity of a program. It directly relates to the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code. A program with high cyclomatic complexity has many such paths, making it more complex and therefore more difficult to test, as each path potentially requires its own test case.

Question 10

Unit testing is done by:
A)users
B)developers
C)customers
D)none of the mentioned

Accepted Answer

Unit testing is primarily performed by developers to test individual units or components of the software to ensure each part functions correctly.

Question 11

Alpha testing is:
A)post-release testing by end user representatives at the developer's site
B)the first testing that is performed
C)pre-release testing by end user representatives at their sites
D)pre-release testing by end user representatives at the developer's site

Accepted Answer

Alpha testing is pre-release testing conducted by end user representatives at the developer's site to identify bugs before releasing the product to the public.

Question 12

Which of the following is a drawback of using CASE tool?
A)standardization of notations and diagrams
B)communication between development team member
C)costs associated with the use of the tool
D)reduction of time and effort

Accepted Answer

CASE tools can be expensive to purchase, implement, and maintain, which is a drawback compared to the benefits they provide.

Question 13

A client server computer program in which the client runs in a web browser is termed as
A)web application
B)application software
C)product line software
D)embedded software

Accepted Answer

Web applications are client-server programs where the client operates in a web browser, allowing users to interact with the application from any device that supports web browsing.

Question 14

Oldest paradigm for software engineering
A)incremental process model
B)rad model
C)evolutionary process model
D)waterfall model

Accepted Answer

The Waterfall model is considered the oldest paradigm for software engineering, introduced in 1970 by Winston W. Royce. It is a linear and sequential approach where each phase must be completed before the next phase can begin, with little to no overlap between phases.

Question 15

Spiral model is
A)phase-driven model
B)risk-driven model
C)risk-process model
D)risk-safe model

Accepted Answer

The Spiral model is a risk-driven process model generator for software projects. It allows for iterative enhancement of the product, with each iteration being designed to address and mitigate risks.

Question 16

Incremental process model phase in which modification of software product is done after delivery to correct faults, to improve performance or other attributes is
A)maintenance framework
B)planning framework
C)deployment framework
D)communication framework

Accepted Answer

The maintenance framework phase in incremental process models involves modifications of the software product after its delivery to correct faults, improve performance, or enhance other attributes. This phase ensures the software continues to meet user needs and adapts to any necessary changes or improvements over time.

Question 17

The intent of project metrics is:
A)minimization of development schedule
B)for strategic purposes
C)assessing project quality on ongoing basis
D)minimization of development schedule and assessing project quality on ongoing basis

Accepted Answer

Project metrics are used for both minimizing the development schedule by identifying inefficiencies and for assessing project quality on an ongoing basis to ensure the project meets its objectives and standards.

Question 18

Architectural Design Metrics are ___________ in nature.
A)black box
B)white box
C)gray box
D)green box

Accepted Answer

Architectural design metrics are considered "black box" in nature because they focus on the system's functionality and performance without delving into the internal workings or implementation details of the system. This approach evaluates the system from an external perspective, similar to how a user might interact with it, rather than examining the internal code structure or algorithms.

Question 19

The amount of time that the software is available for use is known as
A)reliability
B)usability
C)efficiency
D)functionality

Accepted Answer

Reliability in the context of software refers to the measure of the software's ability to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time without failure. It encompasses aspects such as the software's availability, which is the amount of time the software is operational and available for use.

Question 20

In size oriented metrics, metrics are developed based on the ___________________
A)number of functions
B)number of user inputs
C)number of lines of code
D)amount of memory usage

Accepted Answer

Size-oriented metrics focus on measuring the size of the software or components of the software, which can be quantified through the number of lines of code. This approach is one of the most straightforward ways to estimate the size of a software project.
