a database system
False - A bug model tries to predict how many bugs should be tracked at any given time
- Answer -T or F: A bug model is based on historical data and planned activities and

Program developer - Answer -Who should create automated unit tests?
, To optimize your process and make testing more efficient - Answer -What is the intent
of the test automation?
When you are confident that you do not want anything to change in the code - Answer -
What is a good time to start automation testing?
True - Answer -T or F: When the testing is focused on how the application behaves at a
code level, a white-box tester should create the tests
False - Answer -T or F: In white-box testing, the tester is not concerned about the
internal behavior and structure of a program.
True - Answer -T or F: Testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of
finding errors

focus on?
True - Answer -T or F: System validation is an end-to-end process that ensures that the
completed and integrated system will operate as needed in the environment for which it
was intended.
False - Answer -T or F: Bugs that are found and fixed early in the process will cost
more to fix when compared to finding them later and fixing all the bugs at once.

False - Defects found at the earliest possible point will have the lowest cost - Answer -T
or F: Studies have shown that defects found and fixed in the requirements phase carry
the highest cost

brings the development process together in order to meet the deliverable deadline?
A programmer should avoid attempting to test his or her own program - Answer -Which
software testing principle states that a programmer may subconsciously avoid finding
errors for fear or retribution from peers, a supervisor, a client, or the owner of the
program or system being developed
White-box tester - Answer -Which type of tester focuses exclusively on validating the
interactions and behaviors that result in functionality?
A test that discovers a new error - Answer -What makes a test run successful?
