Multiple choice technology testing

Consider the following statements about early test design: i. early test design can prevent fault multiplication ii. faults found during early test design are more expensive to fix iii. early test design can find faults iv. early test design can cause changes to the requirements v. early test design takes more effort

  1. i, iii & iv are true, ii & v are false

  2. iii is true, i, ii, iv & v are false

  3. iii & iv are true, i, ii & v are false

  4. i, iii, iv & v are true, ii is false

Explanation

Early test design prevents fault multiplication (statement i), finds faults early (statement iii), and can trigger requirement changes when issues are discovered (statement iv). Faults found early are actually LESS expensive to fix (statement ii is false), and while it requires effort, saying it 'takes more effort' is misleading compared to the cost of late fixes (statement v is false).
