Software systems are an integral part of our daily life. Most people have had experience with software that did not work as expected. Software that does not work correctly can lead to many problems, including loss of money, time or business reputation, and, in extreme cases, even injury or death.
Q4: Software testing assesses software quality and helps reducing the risk of software failure in operation.?
Select One Option
A: True
B: False
A: True
Q5: Software testing is a set of activities to discover defects and evaluate the quality of software artifacts.?
A: True
B: False
A: True
Software testing is a set of activities to discover defects and evaluate the quality of software artifacts.
Q6: These artifacts, when being tested, are known as test objects ?
A: True
B: False
A: True
Q7: These artifacts, when being tested, are known as test objects?
i: Executing tests – running the software and checking the test results
ii: Test Objectives
iii: Test process
iv: Activities and must be aligned with the software development lifecycle
v: Test Statement
A: i, iv
B: ii, iii
C: iii, iv
C: i, iv
D: iii, v
A: i, iv
Software testing is a set of activities to discover defects and evaluate the quality of software artifacts.
These artifacts, when being tested, are known as test objects. A common misconception about testing is that it only consists of executing tests (i.e., running the software and checking the test results). However, software testing also includes other activities and must be aligned with the software development lifecycle
Q8: What is Verification in testing ?
A: checking whether the system meets users’ and other stakeholders’ needs in its operational environment.
B: Checking testing completed with no errors
C: Checking testing passed or fail
D: checking whether the system meets specified requirements
D: checking whether the system meets specified requirements
Another common misconception about testing is that testing focuses entirely on verifying the test object. Whilst testing involves verification, i.e., checking whether the system meets specified requirements, it also involves validation, which means checking whether the system meets users’ and other stakeholders’ needs in its operational environment.
Q9: What is validation in testing ?
A: Checking whether the system meets users’ and other stakeholders’ needs in its operational environment.
B: Checking testing completed with no errors
C: Checking testing passed or fail
D: checking whether the system meets specified requirements
A: Checking whether the system meets users’ and other stakeholders’ needs in its operational environment.

While When dynamic testing triggers a failure, debugging is concerned with finding causes of this failure (defects), analyzing these causes, and eliminating them
B: Testing can trigger failures that are caused by mistake of tester, debugging is concerned with finding causes of this failure (defects), analyzing these causes, and eliminating them.
C: Testing can trigger failures that are caused by defects in the software (dynamic testing) or can directly find defects, debugging is testing the process of the system.
