General Knowledge Quiz: Technology, Sports & Current Affairs

The United States announced its withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council in June 2018, citing bias against Israel. This was a major geopolitical event at the time.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first hat-trick of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in a match against Spain, which ended in a 3-3 draw.

Rohit Sharma holds the record for being the first Indian cricketer to hit 300 sixes in T20 matches across all tournaments. He achieved this milestone through his aggressive batting style and consistent performance in IPL and other T20 formats. Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Suresh Raina, while accomplished T20 players, did not reach this six-hitting milestone first.

Chennai Super Kings won the IPL 2018 trophy, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. This was CSK's third IPL title and their comeback season after serving a two-year suspension. Mumbai Indians have won multiple IPL titles but not in 2018, while RCB and KKR have also won IPL finals but in different years.

Diu became India's first city to use 100% renewable energy during daytime in 2017-2018. The union territory achieved this through solar power installations that meet its entire daytime electricity demand. Daman, Puducherry, and Kochi have renewable energy initiatives but were not the first to achieve 100% daytime renewable energy.

WannaCry was the ransomware that crippled computer systems worldwide in May 2017. It exploited a vulnerability in Windows systems and affected organizations including the NHS in the UK. The attack was significant in scale and impact, leading to increased awareness about ransomware threats and cybersecurity preparedness.

In information security, an asset is anything that has value to the organization and needs to be protected from threats.

Amazon scrapped its AI recruitment platform in 2018 because it showed bias against women. The system was trained on resumes from past ten years, which predominantly came from male applicants, leading the algorithm to penalize resumes containing words like 'women's'. This highlighted the risk of algorithmic bias in AI systems.

Blockchain testing involves both contract testing (to verify smart contracts) and performance testing (to ensure the network can handle transaction loads).

In Robotic Process Automation (RPA), 'bots' refer to software robots or automated programs that execute tasks based on predefined rules.

Softvision acquired Arrow Digital to strengthen its RPA capabilities. This acquisition was part of Softvision's strategy to expand its automation and digital engineering services. Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism are leading RPA vendors, while Ranorex is a test automation tool, not the correct answer.

In an RPA environment, the software robots (bots) are the entities that perform the automated tasks, not the human testers or programmers.

Stress testing is a type of non-functional testing that evaluates system stability under extreme conditions, whereas the other options are standard techniques used in unit or functional testing.

Boundary value analysis is a black-box functional testing technique used to test the limits of input ranges. Usability, performance, and security are non-functional testing types.

The amount of re-testing can be estimated using metrics from previous similar projects and discussions with the development team. Historical data provides baseline estimates, while team insights help understand the current code quality and risk factors. Time for regression testing is allocated based on these estimates, not used to estimate re-testing.

Risk-based testing is a standard industry practice where testing efforts are prioritized based on the areas of the system that pose the highest risk to the business if they fail.

The requirement 'The response time shall be less than one second' is testable because it specifies a measurable performance criterion. Requirements like 'user friendly' and 'portable' are subjective and untestable. The requirement '0 faults' is unrealistic and untestable since zero defects cannot be guaranteed or verified.

RPA stands for Robotic Process Automation, which involves using software robots to automate repetitive, rule-based tasks.
