If QTP cannot find any object that matches the description, or if it finds more than one object that matches, QuickTest may use the ___________________ mechanism to identify the object.

  1. Ordinal Identifier

  2. Index Identifier

  3. Smart Identification

  4. Assistive Identification
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Smart Identification is QTP's fallback mechanism that uses additional filters and ordinal properties to identify objects when the standard description fails or matches multiple objects. Ordinal and Index identifiers are simpler mechanisms, while Assistive Identification is not a QTP feature.

Multiple choice technology testing

How do you associate defects with tests? (Select three,)

  1. Associate tests from the Test Plan module with defects.

  2. Associate test sets from the Test Lab module with defects.

  3. Associate defects with tests run during a manual test run,

  4. Associate tests with multiple defects.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

HP ALM/Quality Center allows associating tests with defects in the Test Plan module, associating defects with specific steps/tests during manual runs, and linking a test or run to multiple defects. Defects cannot be directly linked to entire test sets in Test Lab as a primary direct association mechanism.

Multiple choice technology testing

The project manager requests that the test engineer make changes in a test case. Which version control feature should the test engineer use to modify the test case?

  1. UNDO

  2. CHECK IN

  3. CHECK OUT

  4. COMPARE
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

CHECK OUT is the version control operation that locks a file for editing, preventing others from modifying it simultaneously. This is the correct first step before making changes. CHECK IN is for submitting changes. UNDO reverts changes. COMPARE shows differences between versions.

Multiple choice technology testing

What enables you to associate the test set with the tests stored in a baseline?

  1. Baselining

  2. Pinning

  3. Skimming

  4. Popping
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

To answer this question, the user needs to have a basic understanding of software testing and version control concepts.

The correct option is:

B. Pinning

Explanation:

Pinning is a software testing concept that allows the test set to be associated with the tests stored in a baseline. This ensures that the tests are executed against the correct version of the software, and that the test results are accurate and reproducible.

Baselining refers to the process of creating a baseline, which is a snapshot of the software at a specific point in time. Skimming and popping are not software testing or version control concepts, and are not relevant to this question.

Therefore, the answer is:

The Answer is: B. Pinning

  4. Its a product from TCS
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

TCS ASAP is a security framework that provides methodology for application security assessment and integrating security into the SDLC. It's not just testing (C), nor a product (D) - it's a comprehensive framework. Option A calls it a methodology which is partially true but less accurate than framework.

Multiple choice technology security

When is the best time to think about application security

  1. During testing

  2. During development

  3. During design

  4. During all phases of application development
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Application security must be considered throughout the entire SDLC - from requirements and design through development, testing, and deployment. Focusing on only one phase (testing, development, or design) leaves vulnerabilities in other phases and is far less effective than continuous security.

Multiple choice technology security

Who has the responsibility for remediation of the security vulnerabilities discovered during application security testing?

  1. ASAP Team

  2. Development Team

  3. Testing Team

  4. Project Management
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Development Team is responsible for fixing security vulnerabilities found during testing because they own the codebase and have the technical expertise to implement fixes. The ASAP Team identifies vulnerabilities, the Testing Team discovers them, and Project Management oversees the process, but none are responsible for the actual remediation work.
