Question 1

Which white-box testing technique requires that every branch (true and false) from each decision point be executed at least once?

Accepted Answer

Branch coverage

Answer

Branch coverage (decision coverage) requires that every possible outcome—true and false—of every branch in the code is exercised.

Question 2

A tester is designing tests for a login screen using a classification tree. What does each leaf node of the tree represent?

Accepted Answer

A specific value or sub-class for a given classification

Answer

In a classification tree, leaf nodes represent concrete values or sub-classes that can be combined with leaves from other branches to form test cases.

Question 3

Which term refers to the degree to which a test design technique systematically covers the test basis?

Accepted Answer

Coverage criterion

Answer

A coverage criterion defines what must be exercised in the test basis (e.g., statements, branches, partitions) to consider the testing sufficient.

Question 4

In exploratory testing, a test charter primarily serves to:

Accepted Answer

Provide a time-boxed mission guiding the tester's investigation

Answer

A test charter defines the scope, goal, and focus of an exploratory testing session, helping testers remain mission-directed within a time box.

Question 5

Which of the following is the PRIMARY advantage of using cause-effect graphing before creating a decision table?

Accepted Answer

It systematically identifies logical relationships between inputs and outputs before building the table

Answer

Cause-effect graphing visually maps the logical relationships between causes (inputs) and effects (outputs), ensuring the decision table captures all relevant combinations.
