Test Cases vs. Test Data

1 pts

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

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

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

Description

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

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

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

Development Testing Characteristics

1 pts

volume_mute

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

System designers and programmers are likely to be involved

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

It is carried out during development to discover bugs and defects

It is primarily a defect testing process

It is usually interleaved with debugging

Release Testing Purpose

1 pts

volume_mute

What is the primary goal of release testing?

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

To discover as many bugs as possible before releasing the system

To verify that individual program units meet their design specifications

To profile the system performance under normal operating conditions

User Testing Purpose

1 pts

volume_mute

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

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

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

User testing replaces the need for acceptance criteria in the contract

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 check that a program does not have unanticipated side effects

Automated tests require too much hardware to run effectively

Automated tests cannot run without an internet connection
