TS Test Execution & Data Collection 3

Question 1

A test manager wants to prioritize test execution to maximize defect detection early. Which strategy best supports this goal?

Accepted Answer

Execute high-risk and high-priority tests first

Answer

Running high-risk and high-priority tests first ensures the most critical defects are found early in the execution cycle.

Question 2

In a test log, what does an 'INCONCLUSIVE' test result typically indicate?

Accepted Answer

The test could not be completed due to an environment or data issue

Answer

An inconclusive result means the test could not determine pass or fail, often because of a test environment problem, missing data, or blocking defect.

Question 3

Which data collection technique involves recording system behavior automatically during test execution without tester intervention?

Accepted Answer

Instrumentation-based automated logging

Answer

Instrumentation inserts monitoring code into the system to automatically capture runtime data such as memory use, function calls, and response times.

Question 4

A tester compares actual test results against expected results and finds a discrepancy. What should be the immediate next step?

Accepted Answer

Log a test incident and investigate the discrepancy

Answer

Any discrepancy between actual and expected results must be logged as a test incident and investigated before drawing conclusions.

Question 5

What is the purpose of a 'test execution schedule' in a test plan?

Accepted Answer

To define the sequence and timing for running test cases

Answer

The test execution schedule specifies when and in what order test cases will be run, aligned with project milestones and resource availability.
