Q. Which of the following is true of the V-model?
- It states that modules are tested against user requirements.
- It only models the testing phase.
- It specifies the test techniques to be used.
- It includes the verification of designs.
Ans. 4. It includes the verification of designs.
Q. The oracle assumption:
- is that there is some existing system against which test output may be checked.
- is that the tester can routinely identify the correct outcome of a test.
- is that the tester knows everything about the software under test.
- is that experienced testers review the tests.
Ans. 2. is that the tester can routinely identify the correct outcome of a test.
Q. Which of the following characterizes the cost of faults?
- They are the cheapest to find in the early development phases and the most expensive to fix in the latest test phases.
- They are easiest to find during system testing but the most expensive to fix then.
- Faults are the cheapest to find in the early development phases but the most expensive to fix then.
- Although faults are most expensive to find during early development phases, they are cheapest to fix then.
Ans. 1. They are cheapest to find in the early development phases and the most expensive to fix in the latest test phases.
Q. Which of the following should NOT normally be an objective for a test?

Ans. 4. State transition testing
Q. Data flow analysis studies
- possible communications bottlenecks in a program.
- the rate of change of data values as a program executes.
- the use of data on paths through the code.
- the intrinsic complexity of the code.
Ans. 3. the use of data on paths through the code.
Q. An important benefit of code inspections is that they:
- enable the code to be tested before the execution environment is ready.
- can be performed by the person who wrote the code.
- can be performed by inexperienced staff.
- are cheap to perform
Ans. 1. enable the code to be tested before the execution environment is ready.
