CAS Testing and Quality Assurance 3

Question 1

What is User Acceptance Testing (UAT)?

Accepted Answer

Testing conducted by end users to verify the software meets business requirements

Answer

Testing performed by developers to validate their own code before check-in

Answer

Automated UI testing to validate user-facing workflows

Answer

Security testing to prevent unauthorized user access to the system

Question 2

What best describes exploratory testing?

Accepted Answer

Simultaneous test design and execution where testers freely explore the software

Answer

Testing that strictly follows a predefined, scripted test plan

Answer

Automated testing that dynamically discovers new execution paths

Answer

Testing that is limited to exploring newly added features only

Question 3

Which testing type verifies that a system adheres to specified external standards, regulations, or requirements?

Accepted Answer

Compliance testing

Answer

Performance testing

Answer

Validation testing

Answer

Regression testing

Question 4

What is boundary value analysis in software testing?

Accepted Answer

Testing input values at the edges of valid and invalid input partitions where defects are most likely

Answer

Testing the application at the limits of the underlying network infrastructure

Answer

Analyzing code complexity at the boundaries between software modules

Answer

Testing a system at the upper and lower limits of its stated performance capacity

Question 5

What does the defect life cycle track in a quality assurance process?

Accepted Answer

The sequence of states a defect passes through from initial discovery to final closure

Answer

The cost associated with fixing each defect from discovery through resolution

Answer

The total amount of testing time spent per sprint or release cycle

Answer

The number of test cases executed and passed per project phase

Question 6

What is the key distinction between verification and validation in software quality assurance?

Accepted Answer

Verification ensures the product is built correctly per specifications while validation ensures the right product is built for user needs

Answer

Verification checks code quality while validation checks documentation completeness

Answer

Verification is performed by testers while validation is performed by developers

Answer

Verification is always automated while validation is always performed manually

Question 7

What is the purpose of equivalence partitioning as a test design technique?

Accepted Answer

To group input data into partitions where all values in a partition are expected to behave identically, reducing redundant test cases

Answer

To divide testing responsibilities equally among all members of the QA team

Answer

To ensure equal test case coverage is achieved across all application modules

Answer

To partition the test database into segments for isolated performance testing
