Accepted Answer

Boundary value analysis

Answer

Equivalence partitioning

Answer

Error guessing

Answer

Exploratory testing

Question 4

What does a 'defect severity' rating describe?

Accepted Answer

The impact of the defect on system functionality

Answer

How quickly a bug must be fixed

Answer

Question 6

What is the purpose of a smoke test?

Accepted Answer

To verify the build is stable enough for further testing

Answer

To exhaustively test every function

Answer

To measure response time under heavy load

Answer

To validate the final release with end users

Question 7

In equivalence partitioning, why test only one value per partition?

Accepted Answer

Because values in a partition are expected to behave the same way

Answer

Because testing more values is impossible

Answer
