ISTQB Foundation Chapter 2 Questions And Answers With Verified Solutions

Iterative-Incremental Development Model - ️️A development life cycle where a project is broken into a (usually large) number of iterations. An iteration is a complete development loop resulting in a release (internal or external) of an executable product, a subset of the final product under development which grows from iteration to iteration to become the final product. System testing - ️️Testing of software or hardware is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements. Falls within the scope of black box testing, and as such, should require no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic Code Coverage - ️️An analysis method that determines which parts of the software have been executed (covered by the test suite and which parts have not been executed, e.g. statement coverage, decision coverage, or condition coverage). Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) - ️️See Off the Shelf Software. Efficiency Testing - ️️See Performance Testing. Functional Testing - ️️Testing based on an analysis of the specification of the functionality of a component or system. Interoperability Testing - ️️The process of testing to determine the interoperability of a software product. Load Testing - ️️A test type concerned with measuring the behavior of a component or system with increasing load, e.g. the number of parallel users and/or numbers of transactions, to determine what load can be handled by the component or system. Maintainability Testing - ️️The process of testing to determine how difficult it is to maintain a software program. Black-Box Testing - ️️Testing, either functional or non-functional, without reference to the internal structure of the component or system. Off the Shelf Software - ️️A software product that is developed for the general market, i.e. for a large number of customers, and that is delivered to many customers in identical format.Performance Testing - ️️The process of testing to determine the performance of a software product. Portability Testing - ️️The process of testing to determine how easily the software product can be moved to different hardware configurations. Reliability Testing - ️️The process of testing to determine the reliability of the software product. Security Testing - ️️Testing to determine the software product's ability to resist malicious code, like viruses. Specification-Based Testing - ️️See Black-Box Testing. Stress Testing - ️️Testing conducted to evaluate a system or component at or beyond the limits of its specified requirements. [IEEE 610] Structural Testing - ️️See White-Box Testing. Validation - ️️Confirmation by examination and through provision of objective evidence that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled. [ISO 9000] Verification - ️️Confirmation by examination and through provision of objective evidence that specified requirements have been fulfilled. [ISO 9000] V-Model - ️️A framework to describe the software development life cycle activities from requirements specification to maintenance. Illustrates how testing activities can be integrated into each phase of the software development life cycle. White-Box Testing - ️️Testing based on an analysis of the internal structure of the component or system. Usability Testing - ️️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. [ISO 9126]
