-
Black box testing is applied during the later stage of the testing process.
-
White box testing is applied during the early stage of the testing process.
-
Black box testing involves initialization and termination errors.
-
All of the above
-
Only (2) and (3)
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, all of the above are the true statements.
-
It is the degree to which a software performs its required function.
-
It is the required effort to correct the software whenever it fails.
-
It is the degree to which the software programs cannot be used for unauthorized users.
-
It is a degree to which the software programs can be used as user friendly or user's perspective.
-
None of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is called 'correctness' in software quality.
-
This is the extent to which the software can be expected to perform its function with required precision.
-
This is the extent to which the software satisfies the user's objectives.
-
This is the extent to which the software can be controlled by unauthorized persons.
-
This is the effort required to modify the software program.
-
None of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is called the 'reliability' factor in software quality.
-
Technical review
-
Walkthrough
-
Inspection
-
System testing
-
None of the above

-
Alpha testing is performed at developer's site.
-
Alpha testing is performed in controlled environment.
-
The developer generally is not present in beta testing.
-
All of the above
-
Only (1) and (2) are true
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, all of the above are the true statements.
-
Static testing does not execute the software product.
-
Dynamic testing is used in validation of a software.
-
Static testing does validation process of a software.
-
Static testing does verification process of a software.
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This is a false statement as in static testing, validation is not possible.
-
It verifies that the recovery is properly performed on the software after forcing the software to fail in the various ways.
-
Recovery testing is used to measure the performance of the software.
-
Recovery testing includes the checkpoints mechanisms.
-
All of the above
-
Only (1) and (3) are true
E
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, option (2) is a false statement about recovery testing.
-
Unit testing
-
System testing
-
Alpha testing
