Question 2

Which type of testing validates the smallest individually testable units of code in isolation?

Accepted Answer

Unit testing

Answer

Unit testing validates individual functions, methods, or components in isolation from the rest of the system.

Question 3

Which testing approach requires the tester to have full knowledge of the internal code structure?

Accepted Answer

White-box testing

Answer

White-box testing (also called glass-box or structural testing) requires knowledge of the internal workings of the code being tested.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of regression testing?

Accepted Answer
