Question 1

What distinguishes a test scenario from a test case?

Accepted Answer

A test scenario describes what to test at a high level while a test case details exact steps and expected results

Answer

Test scenarios are high-level descriptions of what functionality to test, while test cases specify the exact inputs, steps, and expected outcomes.

Question 2

In exploratory testing, what is a 'test charter'?

Accepted Answer

A brief mission statement defining the scope and goals of a testing session

Answer

A test charter guides exploratory testing sessions by defining what to explore, how to explore it, and what to observe.

Question 3

Which of the following is a key advantage of using pairwise (all-pairs) testing?

Accepted Answer

It reduces the number of test cases while covering all combinations of two parameters

Answer

Pairwise testing ensures every pair of parameter values is tested at least once, significantly reducing test case count without sacrificing coverage.

Question 4

When would you use Risk-Based Test Design over exhaustive testing?

Accepted Answer

When time is limited and you need to prioritize tests based on likelihood and impact of failure

Answer

Risk-Based Testing prioritizes test effort toward areas with the highest probability of failure and greatest business impact when resources are constrained.

Question 5

What is the main difference between a test plan and a test strategy?

Accepted Answer

A test plan is project-specific while a test strategy is a high-level organizational document

Answer

A test strategy defines the overall testing approach for the organization, while a test plan is project-specific and includes schedule, scope, and resources.
