Which of the following is true of iterative development?
A. It uses fully defined specifications from the start.
B. It involves the users in the testing throughout.
C. Changes to the system do not need to be formally recorded.
D. It is not suitable for developing websites. B. It involves the users in the testing
throughout.
A top-down development strategy affects which level of testing most?
A. Component testing
B. Integration testing
C. System testing
D. User acceptance testing B. Integration testing
The development strategy will affect the component testing (option (A)), in so far as it cannot
be tested unless it has been built. Options (C) and (D) require the system to have been
delivered; at these points the development strategy followed is not important to the tester.
Option (B) needs knowledge of the development strategy in order to determine the order in
which components will be integrated and tested.
Which of the following is a non-functional requirement?
A. The system will enable users to buy books.
B. The system will allow users to return books.
C. The system will ensure security of the customer details.
D. The system will allow up to 100 users to log in at the same time. D. The system will allow
up to 100 users to log in at the same time.
,The other options are functional requirements. Note that security is regarded as a functional
requirement in this syllabus.

The following statements relate to activities that are part of the fundamental test process.
A. Evaluating the testability of requirements.ii. Repeating testing activities after changes.iii.
Designing the test environment set-up.iv. Developing and prioritizing test cases.
B. Verifying the environment is set up correctly.Which statement below is TRUE?
C. (i) and (ii) are part of analysis and design, (iii), (iv) and (v) are part of test implementation and
execution.
D. (i) and (iii) are part of analysis and design, (ii), (iv) and (v) are part of test implementation and
execution.
E. (i) and (v) are part of analysis and design, (ii), (iii) and (iv) are part of test implementation and
execution.
F. (i) and (iv) are part of analysis and design, (ii), (iii) and (v) are part of test implementation and
execution. B. Verifying the environment is set up correctly.Which statement below is TRUE?
All other answers contain an activity identified as analysis and design that is part of
implementation and test execution.
Which statement correctly describes the public and profession aspects of the code of ethics?
A. Public: Certified software testers shall act in the best interests of their client and employer
(being consistent with the wider public interest). Profession: Certified software testers shall
advance the integrity and reputation of their industry consistent with the public interest.
B. Public: Certified software testers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession
consistent with the public interest. Profession: Certified software testers shall consider the
wider public interest in their actions.
,C. Public: Certified software testers shall consider the wider public interest in their actions.
Profession: Certified software testers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice
of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of their profession.
D. Public: Certifi D. Public: Certified software testers shall consider the wider public interest
in their actions. Profession: Certified software testers shall advance the integrity and reputation
of their industry consistent with the public interest.
All other answers contain an activity identified as analysis and design that is part of
implementation and test execution.

Which of the following is true about the V-model?
A. It has the same steps as the waterfall model for software development.
B. It is referred to as a cyclical model for software development.
C. It enables the production of a working version of the system as early as possible.
D. It enables test planning to start as early as possible. D. It enables test planning to start as
early as possible.

Which of the following defects is most likely to be found by a test harness?
A. Variance from programming standards.
B. A defect in middleware.
C. Memory leaks.
D. Regression defects. B. A defect in middleware.
Variance from programming standards defects (option (A)) are found during the review or static
testing process. Therefore a test harness is unlikely to find a defect in programming
standards.Memory leak defects (option (C)) could potentially be found by a test harness
designed to run many test cases.Regression defects (option (D)) could be found using many
types of test tool.Defects in middleware (option (B)) are generally more likely to be found by a
test harness or a dynamic analysis tool than by any other type of tool.
, 112.
A test management tool is most likely to integrate with which of the following tools?
A. Performance testing tool
B. Test data preparation tool
C. Static analysis tool
D. Requirements management tool D. Requirements management tool
Requirements management tools (option (D)) often have interfaces with test management
tools. In some cases they will be sold as a package or in other cases a test management tool
may have its own requirements module. The use of such interfaces or integrated packages aids
traceability from requirements through to test scripts and defects.Performance management
tools (option (A)), test data preparation tools (option (B)) and static analysis tools (option (C))
are unlikely to have an interface or be integrated with a test management tool. They serve
different purposes and therefore there is little need for such interfaces.
