TS Test Analysis & Reporting 2

Question 1

Which metric measures the percentage of defects found during testing versus total defects found including post-release?

Accepted Answer

Defect Detection Percentage (DDP)

Answer

Defect Detection Percentage (DDP) measures the ratio of defects found during testing to the total defects found both during and after testing.

Question 2

A test report shows 80% test cases passed but the product still has critical failures in production. What does this most likely indicate?

Accepted Answer

Test coverage was inadequate for critical risk areas

Answer

A high pass rate with production failures typically indicates that testing did not adequately cover the risk areas where defects later manifested.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of a traceability matrix in test reporting?

Accepted Answer

Show coverage of requirements by test cases

Answer

A requirements traceability matrix maps test cases to requirements, demonstrating which requirements have been covered by testing.

Question 4

Which type of test report is most appropriate for communicating testing status to executive stakeholders?

Accepted Answer

High-level summary dashboards with key risk indicators

Answer

Executive stakeholders need concise, high-level summaries with risk indicators rather than technical testing details.

Question 5

When analyzing test results, what does a 'false positive' mean?

Accepted Answer

A defect found that is not actually a defect

Answer

A false positive occurs when a test reports a failure or defect that does not actually exist in the system under test.
