Question 7

Question
Static analysis tools:
Answer
  • Can be used to measure program efficiency
  • Can be used to enforce coding standards
  • Can be used to estimate response time
  • Can be used to interrogate the contents of variables

Question 8

Question

Answer
  • Coverage measurement tool
  • Test data preparation tool
  • Test design tool
  • Test execution tool

Question 9

Question
A typical test execution tool could provide all of the following except:
Answer
  • Capture/playback facilities
  • Prediction of expected results
  • A scripting language for recording tests
  • Comparison of actual to expected results

Question 10

Question
Test harnesses:
Answer
  • Can be used to execute pre-recorded tests
  • Can be used to generate test cases
  • Can be used to provide stubs and drivers
  • Can be used to validate design models

Question 11

Question
Which of the following tools is most likely to contain a comparator?
Answer
  • Test execution tool
  • Performance testing tool
  • Review tool
  • Test data preparation tool

Question 12

Question
Which type of automated tool provides objective measures of what structural elements have been exercised by tests?
Answer
  • Static analyser
  • Coverage measurement
  • Test management
  • Test execution

Question 13

Question
Some types of tool can be intrusive. This consequence of this is called:
Answer
  • The test effect
  • The probe effect
  • The overhead
  • Interference

Question 14

Question
Performance testing tools can:
Answer
  • Report on code efficiency
  • Measure the percentage of test conditions tested
  • Forecast response times and likely variances
  • Measure response times and variances

Question 15

Question
Which type of testing tool monitors executing software for anomalies?
Answer
  • Test execution tool
  • Static analysis tool
  • Test harness
  • Dynamic analysis tool

Question 16

Question
Test Execution tools are most beneficial for:-
Answer
  • White-box testing
  • Regression testing
  • Black-box testing
  • Re-testing

Question 17

Question
Data quality assessment tools are most beneficial for:-
Answer
  • Reviewing and verifying data migration rules
  • Generating accurate test data
  • Analysing test output data for correctness
  • Analysing test input data for correctness

Question 18

Question
Data-driven and keyword-driven are automation approaches relating to:
Answer
  • Test data preparation tools
  • Data quality assessment tools
  • Incident management tools
  • Test execution tools

Question 19

Question
Which of the following is correct concerning data-driven and keyword-driven approaches to test automation?
Answer
  • Data-driven uses generic scripts, keyword-driven uses specific scripts
  • There is no difference, they are effectively the same thing
  • Data-driven embeds test data in a spreadsheet, keyword-driven doesn’t
  • Keyword-driven embeds both test data and keywords in a spreadsheet

Question 20

Question
Which of the following test activities can be automated? 1. Reviews and inspections. 2. Metrics gathering. 3. Test planning. 4. Test execution. 5. Data generation.
Answer
  • i, iii, iv
  • i, ii, iii
  • ii, iv, v
  • ii, iii, v

Question 21

Question
Potential benefits of using tools include:-
Answer
  • Less need for testing
  • Less regression testing
  • Greater consistency and repeatability
  • Less need for metrics

Question 22

Question
What is not a main consideration for tool selection?
Answer
  • A proof of concept
  • Evaluation against clear requirements
  • Vendor evaluation
  • Visit to a tools fair or exhibition

Question 23

Question
A new tool should be initially introduced to the test environment:
Answer
  • In a large, business critical project
  • To every ongoing project immediately
  • Only on projects with experienced project managers
  • In a pilot project

Question 24

Question
Which of the following is an objective of a pilot project for the introduction of a testing tool?
Answer
  • Evaluate testers competence to use the tool
  • Discover what functionality the tool provides
  • Assess if the benefits will be achieved at reasonable cost
  • Discover what the requirements for the tool are

Question 25

Question
When a new testing tool is purchased, it should be used first by:-
Answer
  • The independent testing team
  • The managers to see what projects it should be used in
  • Trainees so they can learn to use tools from the start
