A two-dimensional table, which correlates two entities (e.g. requirements and test cases).
The table allows tracing back and forth the links of one entity to the other, thus enabling the
determination of coverage achieved and the assessment of impact of proposed changes. -
CORRECT ANSWERS Traceability Matrix
A tool that provides an environment for unit or component testing in which a component
can be tested in isolation or with suitable stubs and drivers. It also provides other support
for the developer, such as debugging capabilities. - CORRECT ANSWERS Unit Test
Framework
Code that cannot be reached and therefore is impossible to execute. - CORRECT ANSWERS
Unreachable Code
The capability of the software to be understood, learned, used and attractive to the user
when under specified conditions. - CORRECT ANSWERS Usability
Testing to determine the extent to which the software product is understood, easy to learn,
easy to operate and attractive to the users under specified conditions. - CORRECT ANSWERS
Usability Testing
A sequence of transactions in a dialogue between an actor and a component or system with
a tangible result, where an actor can be a user or anything that can exchange information
with the system. - CORRECT ANSWERS Use Case
A black box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute scenarios of
use cases. - CORRECT ANSWERS Use Case Testing
A high-level user or business requirement commonly used in agile software development,
typically consisting of one or more sentences in the everyday or business language capturing
what functionality a user needs, any non-functional criteria, and also includes acceptance
criteria. - CORRECT ANSWERS User Story
A test whereby real-life users are involved to evaluate the usability of a component or
system. - CORRECT ANSWERS User Test

Formal testing with respect to user needs, requirements, and business processes conducted
to determine whether or not a system satisfies the acceptance criteria and to enable the
user, customer or other authorized entity to determine whether or not to accept the system.
- CORRECT ANSWERS Acceptance Testing
The capability of the software product to provide the right or agreed results or effects with
the needed degree of precision. - CORRECT ANSWERS Accuracy
User or any other person or system that interacts with the system under test in a specific
way. - CORRECT ANSWERS Actor
The behavior produced/observed when a component or system is tested. - CORRECT
ANSWERS Actual Result
Testing carried out informally; no formal test preparation takes place, no recognized test
design technique is used, there are no expectations for results and arbitrariness guides the
test execution activity - CORRECT ANSWERS Ad Hoc Testing
A statement on the values that underpin agile software development. The values are:
-individuals and interactions over processes and tools
-working software over comprehensive documentation
-customer collaboration over contract negotiations
-responding to change over following a plan. - CORRECT ANSWERS Agile Manifesto
A group of software development methodologies based on iterative incremental
deveolpment, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-
organizing cross-functional teams. - CORRECT ANSWERS Agile Software Development
Simulated or actual operational testing by potential users/customers or an independant test
team at the developers site but outside the development organization. Alpha testing is often
employed for off-the-shelf software as a form of internal acceptance testing. - CORRECT

Testing the code which enables communication between different processes, programs
and/or systems. API testing often involves negative testing, e.g., to validate the robustness of
error handling. - CORRECT ANSWERS API (application programming interface) Testing
Directed and focused attempt to evaluate the quality, especially reliability, of a test object by
attempting to force specific failures to occur. See negative testing. - CORRECT ANSWERS
Attack
A path by which the original input to a process(e.g. data) can be traced back through the
process, taking process output as a starting point. This facilitates defect analysis and allows a
process audit ti be carried out. - CORRECT ANSWERS Audit Trail

Testware
The degree to which a component or system is operational and accessible when required for
use. Often expressed as a percentage. - CORRECT ANSWERS Availability
Testing in which two or more variants of a component or system are executed with the same
inputs, the outputs compared, and analyzed in cases of discrepancies. - CORRECT ANSWERS
Back-to-Back Testing
A specification or software product that has been formally reviewed or agreed upon, that
thereafter serves as the basis for further development, and that can be changed only
through a formal change process. - CORRECT ANSWERS Baseline
