Test Cases vs. Test Data

1 pts

volume_mute

What is the distinction between test cases and test data in the testing process?

Test cases specify the inputs and expected outputs; test data are the actual inputs devised to test the system

Test cases are the inputs used in testing; test data are the expected outputs

Test cases and test data are two terms for the same concept

Test data are specifications; test cases are automatically generated from them

Description

Tests are encoded in a program that is run each time the system is to be tested

Particularly useful for regression testing to check that changes have not introduced new bugs

A tester runs the program with some test data and notes discrepancies to report to developers

Approach

Automated Testing

Manual Testing

Match each description to the correct testing approach.

Three Stages of Commercial Software Testing

1 pts

volume_mute

A commercial software system typically goes through three stages of testing before deployment. Which of the following correctly lists all three stages in the right order?

Unit testing, component testing, system testing

Development Testing Characteristics

1 pts

volume_mute

Which of the following correctly describe development testing? Select all that apply.

It is primarily a defect testing process

It is performed by a completely separate team with no involvement from developers

It is usually interleaved with debugging

It is carried out during development to discover bugs and defects

System designers and programmers are likely to be involved

Release Testing Purpose

1 pts

volume_mute

What is the primary goal of release testing?

To profile the system performance under normal operating conditions

To convince the supplier that the system is good enough for use and can be released or delivered

To verify that individual program units meet their design specifications

To discover as many bugs as possible before releasing the system

Explanation

User Testing Purpose

1 pts

volume_mute

Why is user testing essential even when comprehensive system and release testing have been carried out?

Users can test faster than professional testers because they know the system well

User testing replaces the need for acceptance criteria in the contract

Influences from the user's working environment can have major effects on reliability, performance, usability, and robustness

Users provide free testing resources that reduce the overall testing budget

Limits of Fully Automated Testing

1 pts

volume_mute

Testing can never be completely automated. Which of the following represent limitations of automated testing? Select all that apply.

Automated tests can only check that a program does what it is supposed to do

It is practically impossible to use automated testing for systems that depend on how things look, such as GUIs

Automated tests cannot run without an internet connection

Automated tests cannot check that a program does not have unanticipated side effects

Automated tests require too much hardware to run effectively

Classify Testing Activities by Stage

1 pts

volume_mute

Activities

×A selected group of users experiment with an early release to find issues

×Programmers write tests for individual methods as they develop code

×A customer runs the system using their own data to decide if it should be accepted

×A separate testing team validates a complete system version before it is shipped

Development Testing

Release Testing

User Testing

Classify each testing activity into the correct stage of commercial software testing.
