Multiple choice technology testing

In a risk-based approach the risks identified may be used to : i. Determine the test technique to be employed ii. Determine the extent of testing to be carried out iii. Prioritize testing in an attempt to find critical defects as early as possible. iv. Determine the cost of the project

  1. ii is True; i, iii, iv & v are False

  2. i,ii,iii are true and iv is false

  3. ii & iii are True; i, iv are False

  4. ii, iii & iv are True; i is false

B Correct answer
Explanation

A risk-based approach uses identified risks to determine the test techniques, the depth of testing required, and to prioritize tests to find critical bugs early. Project cost estimation is a project management activity, not a function of testing risks, making statements i, ii, and iii true and iv false.

AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of risk-based testing.

In a risk-based approach, the risks identified are used to make decisions regarding testing. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) ii is True; i, iii, iv & v are False - This option is incorrect because it states that only option ii is true, and all other options are false. However, options i and iii are actually true in a risk-based approach.

Option B) i, ii, iii are true and iv is false - This option is correct. In a risk-based approach, the risks identified are used to determine the test technique to be employed (i), determine the extent of testing to be carried out (ii), and prioritize testing in an attempt to find critical defects as early as possible (iii). However, determining the cost of the project (iv) is not directly related to the risks identified.

Option C) ii & iii are True; i, iv are False - This option is incorrect because it states that options ii and iii are true, but options i and iv are false. However, option i is actually true in a risk-based approach.

Option D) ii, iii & iv are True; i is false - This option is incorrect because it states that options ii, iii, and iv are true, but option i is false. However, option i is actually true in a risk-based approach.

The correct answer is B. Options i, ii, and iii are true in a risk-based approach, while option iv is false.
