Testing Object Classes Comprehensively

1 pts

volume_mute

When testing object classes, which of the following should be covered to achieve comprehensive testing? Select all that apply.

Only test the most frequently called methods

Set and check the value of all attributes associated with the object

Test all operations associated with the object

Test only the public interface methods

Put the object into all possible states

Simulate all events that cause a state change

Weather Station Object - Unit Testing

1 pts

volume_mute

Consider a WeatherStation object with a single constant attribute (identifier) and methods including reportWeather(), reportStatus(), powerSave(), remoteControl(), reconfigure(), restart(), and shutdown().

Why must the restart() method be executed before testing the shutdown() method?

Because automated test frameworks require alphabetical method ordering

Because restart() initializes the identifier attribute that shutdown() reads

Because restart() and shutdown() share the same parameter list

Because shutdown() has a dependency on the running state established by restart()

Explanation

Inheritance and Object Class Testing

1 pts

volume_mute

Why does inheritance or generalization make object class testing more complicated?

Inheritance prevents the use of automated test frameworks like JUnit

Inherited methods are always slower and require performance testing

An inherited operation may make assumptions about other operations and attributes that may not be valid in all subclasses

Inherited methods are hidden and cannot be called directly during testing

State Sequence Testing for Weather Station

1 pts

volume_mute

Using a state model, testers identify sequences of state transitions to test. Which of the following are valid state transition sequences for the weather station that should be tested? Select all that apply.

Running - Shutdown - Configuring - Running

Configuring - Running - Testing - Transmitting - Running

Shutdown - Running - Shutdown

Transmitting - Shutdown - Transmitting

Running - Collecting - Running - Summarizing - Transmitting - Running

Three Parts of an Automated Test

1 pts

Please drag and drop the options to sort them

An automated unit test has three standard parts. Arrange them in the correct order.

Call part - call the object or method to be tested

Setup part - initialize the system with the test case inputs and expected outputs

Assertion part - compare the result of the call with the expected result

Explanation

Automated Test Assertion Outcome

1 pts

volume_mute

In an automated unit test, what happens when the assertion evaluates to false?

The test framework re-runs the test with different inputs automatically

The test has failed, indicating the actual result did not match the expected result

The test framework skips the test and moves on to the next one

The test is flagged as inconclusive and requires manual review

Purpose of Mock Objects

1 pts

volume_mute

What is the primary purpose of using mock objects in unit testing?

To permanently replace real objects with simpler versions in the production system

To generate random inputs for stress testing the unit under test

To automatically generate assertion code for complex object states

To simulate external objects when dependencies are unavailable or slow down testing

Mock Object Example - Database

1 pts

volume_mute

A development team is unit testing a class that calls a database to retrieve customer records. The database setup takes 30 seconds each test run. They decide to use a mock object. What would the mock object database typically contain?

Only a few data items organized in an array, accessible quickly without database overhead

A complete copy of the production database with all real customer records

An automated query generator that creates random SQL statements

A file system copy of the database that is read directly from disk

Mock Objects for Rare Events

1 pts

volume_mute

Beyond replacing slow dependencies, mock objects can also be used for another purpose in unit testing. What is this additional use?

To provide parallel test execution on multiple threads

To simulate abnormal operations or rare events that are difficult to trigger in real systems

To generate automated documentation from test results

To replace the assertion framework with a simpler comparison mechanism
