Accepted Answer

Box diagrams were developed to ensure that procedural design representations adhered to structured programming constructs.

Question 3

A __________ executes the loop task first, then tests a condition and repeats the task until the condition fails.
A)repeat until
B)condition
C)do while tests
D)if then-else

Accepted Answer

A "repeat until" loop executes the loop task first and then tests a condition, repeating the task until the condition fails.

Question 4

Which of the following is not a characteristics of box diagram?
A)functional domain
B)arbitrary transfer of control is impossible
C)recursion is easy to represent
D)providing a notation that translates actions and conditions

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is not a...

Question 5

The________ is represented as two processing boxes connected by an line (arrow) of control.
A)repetition
B)sequence
C)condition
D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

The sequence in flowchart or programming is represented as two processing boxes (steps or instructions) connected by a line (arrow) of control, indicating the order in which the operations are to be executed.

Question 6

Which of the following term is best defined by the statement "Notation that can be input directly into a computer-based development system offers significant benefits."?
A)machine readability
B)maintainability
C)structure enforcement
D)overall simplicity

Accepted Answer

Machine readability refers to the ability of information to be easily processed by computers. The statement highlights the advantage of using notations or formats that computers can directly understand and work with, which is the essence of machine readability.

Question 7

A software engineer designs the user interface by applying an iterative process that draws on predefined design principles.

Accepted Answer

Software engineers often design user interfaces by applying an iterative process, which involves repeatedly refining and improving the design based on predefined design principles and user feedback. This approach helps in creating more user-friendly and effective interfaces.

Question 8

What combines the outward manifestation of the computer-based system , coupled with all supporting information that describe system syntax and semantics?
A)mental image
B)interface design
C)system image
D)interface validation

Accepted Answer

The system image combines the outward manifestation of the computer-based system, including its interface and all supporting information that describe the system's syntax and semantics. This concept encompasses how the system is presented and understood by users, including the documentation and help files that support its use.

Question 9

What do you understand by V&V in software testing?
A)verified version
B)version validation
C)verification and validation
D)version verification

Accepted Answer

Verification and validation (V&V) are processes used in software testing to ensure that a software product meets its specifications and fulfills its intended purpose. Verification checks if the product was built correctly according to the design specifications, while validation checks if the right product was built, meeting the user's needs.

Question 10

In static test techniques, behavioral and performance properties of the program are observed.

Accepted Answer

Static test techniques involve examination of the program's code, requirements, and design without executing the program, focusing on its structure and static properties rather than its behavior or performance.

Question 11

Which granularity level of testing checks the behavior of module cooperation?
A)unit testing
B)integration testing
C)acceptance testing
D)regression testing

Accepted Answer

Integration testing focuses on verifying the interaction and cooperation between modules or components in a software system, ensuring they work together as intended.

Question 12

Which test refers to the retesting of a unit, integration and system after modification, in order to ascertain that the change has not introduced new faults?
A)regression test
B)smoke test
C)alpha test
D)beta test

Accepted Answer

Regression testing is specifically designed to check that recent program or code changes have not adversely affected existing features. It ensures that new bugs or errors have not been introduced into previously tested code.

Question 13

Which of the following is a black box testing strategy?
A)all statements coverage
B)control structure coverage
C)cause-effect graphs
D)all paths coverage

Accepted Answer

Cause-effect graphing is a black box testing strategy that focuses on the functional requirements of the software. It does not require knowledge of the internal workings of the application, making it a black box approach.

Question 14

A set of inputs, execution preconditions and expected outcomes is known as a
A)test plan
B)test case
C)test document
D)test suite

Accepted Answer

A test case is defined as a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether a system under test satisfies requirements or works correctly.

Question 15

In which test design each input is tested at both ends of its valid range and just outside its valid range?
A)boundary value testing
B)equivalence class partitioning
C)boundary value testing and equivalence class partitioning
D)decision tables

Accepted Answer

Boundary value testing involves testing at the boundaries between partitions, which includes testing at both ends of the valid range and just outside the valid range.

Question 16

A white box test scales up well at different granularity levels of testing.

Accepted Answer

White box testing, which involves testing internal structures or workings of an application, does not scale up well at different granularity levels because it requires detailed knowledge of the internal paths, structures, and implementation of the software being tested, making it impractical for larger, more complex systems.

Question 17

When does the testing process stops?
A)when resources (time and budget) are over
B)when some coverage is reached
C)when quality criterion is reached
D)testing never ends.

Accepted Answer

When quality criterion is reached, the testing process stops.
