WGU C857 - Software Quality Assurance
Exam UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Inspection - CORRECT ANSWER A code inspection is a set of procedures and error-detection
techniques for group code reading. Most discussions of code inspections focus on the procedures,
forms to be filled out, and so on. Here, after a short summary of the general procedure, we will focus
on the actual error-detection techniques
Walkthrough - CORRECT ANSWER The code walkthrough, like the inspection, is a set of
procedures and error-detection techniques for group code reading. It shares much in common with the
inspection process, but the procedures are slightly different, and a different error-detection technique
is employed.
White box - CORRECT ANSWER is a software testing method in which the internal structure/
design/ implementation of the item being tested is known to the tester
Black box - CORRECT ANSWER is a method of software testing that examines the
functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings. This method of
test can be applied virtually to every level of software testing: unit, integration, system and
acceptance.
Acceptance - CORRECT ANSWER is the process of comparing the program to its initial
requirements and the current needs of its end users. It is an unusual type of test in that it usually is
performed by the program's customer or end user and normally is not considered the responsibility of
the development organization.
Function - CORRECT ANSWER is a process of attempting to find discrepancies between the
program and the external specification. An external specification is a precise description of the
program's behavior from the end-user point of view. (black box testing)
Types of White Box Testing - CORRECT ANSWER Unit Testing.
Static Analysis.
Dynamic Analysis.
Statement Coverage.
, Branch testing Coverage.
Mutation Testing.
Types of Black Box Testing - CORRECT ANSWER functional, non-functional, and regression
testing
Very limited - CORRECT ANSWER Which level of coding knowledge is needed to perform
black box testing?
System testing - CORRECT ANSWER has a particular purpose: to compare the system or
program to its original objectives
Inspection - CORRECT ANSWER Management has requested that the development team have
a moderator review their newest module of code. Which type of review is being asked for?
Black box - CORRECT ANSWER An informal review of a module of code has been
completed. The development team has decided to evaluate the module from an end user perspective.
Which method should be used to determine if the code meets quality standards?
Black box testing - CORRECT ANSWER There is a requirement to verify the usability of a
product as it is being delivered to ensure overall design and functionality without regard to the
internal functioning of the code. Which quality method meets this requirement?
Code inspection - CORRECT ANSWER QA proposes a formal group meeting where the
programmer narrates, statement by statement, the logic of a program as an error detection technique.
Which quality method meets this proposal?
Backtracking - CORRECT ANSWER A program's state changes from what is expected. Which
practice should be applied to find the location of the defect?
Reproducing the error - CORRECT ANSWER A web developer or QA tester encounters an
error. What is the best practice to initiate resolution of this error?
