CAST CAST Test Documentation & Reporting 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which document describes the conditions that must be met before testing can begin?
- Exit Criteria Document
- Entry Criteria Document (Correct answer)
- Test Execution Schedule
- Test Incident Report
Correct answer: Entry Criteria Document
Entry criteria define the prerequisites that must be satisfied before a test phase can start.
Question 2: A Test Incident Report is created when:
- A test case is added to the test suite
- An unexpected event occurs during test execution that needs investigation (Correct answer)
- A test environment is set up successfully
- A requirement is approved by the customer
Correct answer: An unexpected event occurs during test execution that needs investigation
Test Incident Reports capture unexpected occurrences during testing that require further investigation or resolution.
Question 3: What information is typically NOT included in a defect report?
- Steps to reproduce
- Actual vs. expected results
- Tester's salary information (Correct answer)
- Severity and priority
Correct answer: Tester's salary information
Defect reports contain technical and process information about the defect, not personal HR data like salary.
Question 4: Exit criteria in a test plan define:
- The hardware requirements for the test environment
- When testing is considered complete enough to proceed to the next phase (Correct answer)
- The names of testers assigned to each module
- The version control branching strategy
Correct answer: When testing is considered complete enough to proceed to the next phase
Exit criteria specify the conditions that must be satisfied before a test phase can be concluded.
Question 5: Which metric is most useful for tracking the progress of test execution?
- Number of lines of code written
- Percentage of planned test cases executed (Correct answer)
- Number of developers on the team
- Total project budget spent
Correct answer: Percentage of planned test cases executed
The percentage of planned test cases executed is a direct measure of test execution progress.
Question 6: A test basis refers to:
- The testing team's organizational hierarchy
- The documents and information used to derive test cases (Correct answer)
- The baseline performance benchmark
- The initial defect count before testing
Correct answer: The documents and information used to derive test cases
The test basis is the body of knowledge (requirements, specs, designs) from which test cases are derived.
