BCS-ISQTB Foundation Quiz Questions and Answers

Answer :
  • As part of the review initiation, the reviewers receive the checklists needed for the review

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. During planning it is decided whether checklists are used. The preparation of the checklists is not part of the planning. In addition, the reviewers are neither involved in the planning, nor responsible for the creation of the checklists b) Is not correct. During issue communication, any potential defects that have been identified in the individual review are communicated. The completion of checklists by the reviewers already takes place, if at all, during individual review c) Is not correct. During review session, the reviewers communicate any potential defects of the work product that they did identify during the individual review. Defect reports are only created during the fixing and reporting activity d) Is correct. Initiating the review (“Kick-off”) involves distributing the work product and other materials, like checklists
Answer :
  • With the expert-based approach, the test managers responsible for the different testing activities predict the expected testing effort

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. Estimates may be updated as more information becomes available, but estimates are needed to assist with planning before the testing starts b) Is not correct. In the expert-based approach, the experts need to be experts in testing, not in using the test object c) Is correct. Test -Managers, who will be leading testers doing the testing, are considered experts in their respective areas and suitable for estimating the necessary resources needed d) Is not correct. While it is useful to know the testing costs from previous projects, a more sophisticated approach is needed than simply taking an average of past projects (the new project may not be like the previous projects, e.g. it may be far larger or far smaller than previous projects)
Answer :
  • When testers are available who have enough knowledge of similar applications and technologies

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. Exploratory testing is not suitable to speed up tests, which are already specified. It is most useful when there are few or inappropriate specified requirements or significant time pressure on testing b) Is not correct. The absence of a test charter, which may have been derived from the test analysis, is a poor precondition for the use of exploratory testing c) Is correct. Exploratory tests should be performed by experienced testers with knowledge of similar applications and technologies d) Is not correct. Explorative testing alone is not suitable to provide evidence that the test was very intensive, instead the evidence is provided in combination with other test methods
Answer :
  • More experienced testers who have tested similar applications and technologies are likely to do better than less experienced testers at exploratory testing

Explanation :

a) Is correct. Exploratory testing is a form of experience-based testing, which benefits from the skills and experience of the tester b) Is not correct. Exploratory testing is useful to complement formal testing techniques c) Is not correct. In session-based test management, exploratory testing is conducted within a defined time-box, and the tester uses a test charter containing test objectives to guide the testing d) Is not correct. Exploratory testing can incorporate the use of other black-box, white-box, and experience-based techniques referenced in this syllabus
Answer :
  • Decision to test the maintainability of the software

Explanation :

a) Is correct. This is maintainability testing, not maintenance testing b) Is not correct. This is a trigger for maintenance testing: Operational tests of the new environment as well as of the changed software c) Is not correct. This is the trigger for maintenance testing: testing restore/retrieve procedures after archiving for long retention periods d) Is not correct. This is the trigger for maintenance testing: Reactive modification of a delivered software product to correct emergency defects that have caused actual failures
Answer :
  • It is a metric, which is the percentage of statements in the source code that have been executed

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. Statement coverage measures the percentage of statements exercised by test cases b) Is correct. Statement testing exercises the executable statements in the code. Statement coverage is measured as the number of statements executed by the tests divided by the total number of executable statements in the test object, normally expressed as a percentage c) Is not correct. The coverage does not measure pass/fail d) Is not correct. It is a metric and does not provide true/false statements
Answer :
  • Testing reduces the risk of poor software quality

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. Static testing (reviews) contributes, but could not ensure, that requirements are detailed enough b) Is correct. Testing contributes to the achievement of quality in a variety of ways, e.g. such as reducing the risk of inadequate software quality c) Is not correct. This is quality assurance but not testing d) Is not correct. The quality cannot be measured by counting the number of executed test cases without knowing the outcome
Answer :
  • The system stops maintaining a set speed when the radio volume is increased or decreased

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. This is an example of a mistake made by the developer b) Is not correct. This is an example of a defect (something wrong in the code that may cause a failure) c) Is correct. This is a deviation from the expected functionality - a cruise control system should not be affected by the radio d) Is not correct. This is an example of a defect (something wrong in a specification that may cause a failure if subsequently implemented)
Answer :
  • Designing test data

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. Analyzing a defect is part of debugging, not testing b) Is correct. Creating test data is a test implementation task c) Is not correct. While a tester may need to identify a test item’s version for results reporting purposes, assigning a test item’s version is part of configuration management d) Is not correct. Writing a user story is not a testing activity and should be done by the product owner
Answer :
  • An approach to testing whereby the testers dynamically designs and execute tests based on their knowledge, exploration of the test item and the results of previous tests

Explanation :

a) Is not correct. Exploratory testing is often carried out when timescales are short, so making in-depth investigations of the background of the test object is unlikely b) Is correct. Glossary definition c) Is not correct. Based on the Glossary definition of session-based testing, but with test execution replaced by test analysis d) Is not correct. Glossary definition of experience-based testing
