Which of the following statements CORRECTLY reflects the value of static *0/1
testing?  

a) By introducing reviews, we have found that both the quality of specifications and
the time required for development and testing have increased

b) Using static testing means we have better control and cheaper defect
management due to the ease of detecting defects later in the lifecycle

c) Now that we require the use of static analysis, missed requirements have
decreased and communication between testers and developers has improved

d) Since we started using static analysis, we find coding defects that might have
not been found by performing only dynamic testing

Which of the following BEST explains a benefit of independent testing? * 1/1

a) The use of an independent test team allows project management to assign


responsibility for the quality of the final deliverable to the test team, so ensuring
everyone is aware that quality is the test team’s overall responsibility

b) If a test team external to the organization can be afforded, then there are distinct
benefits in terms of this external team not being so easily swayed by the delivery
concerns of project management and the need to meet strict delivery deadlines

c) An independent test team can work totally separately from the developers, need
not be distracted with changing project requirements, and can restrict
communication with the developers to defect reporting through the defect
management system

d) When specifications contain ambiguities and inconsistencies, assumptions


are made on their interpretation, and an independent tester can be useful in
questioning those assumptions and the interpretation made by the developer

Feedback

d) Is correct. Specifications are never perfect, meaning that assumptions will have to be
made by the developer. An independent tester is useful in that they can challenge and
verify the assumptions and subsequent interpretation made by the developer

b) 1, 4, 5, 6

c) 2, 3, 4, 5

d) 3, 5, 6

Feedback

Considering each of the pieces of information:


1. Degree of impact (severity) of the defect – the developers are
already aware of the problem and are waiting to fix it, so this is a
less important piece of information.
2. Identification of the test object – as the developers are already
aware of the problem and you are performing system testing, and
you have already provided the version of the system you are testing
you can assume they know the object that was being tested, so this
is a less important piece of information.
3. Details of the test environment – the set-up of the test environment
may have a noticeable effect on the test results, and detailed
information should be provided, so this is an important piece of
information.
4. Urgency/priority to fix – the developers are already aware of the
problem and are waiting to fix it, so this is a less important piece of
information.
5. Actual results – the actual results may well help the developers to
determine what is going wrong with the system, so this is an
important piece of information.
6. Reference to test case specification – this will show the developers
the tests you ran, including the test inputs that caused the system to
fail (and expected results), so this is an important piece of
information.
