    #28 Sujata on 11.28.07 at 8:29 pm

    Regarding first question as per my opinion and as per CBOK
    Verification answers the question, “Did we build the right system?” while validations
    addresses, “Did we build the system right?”.

    Plz update the answer accordingly.

    Thanks

    #29 sapna gupta on 11.29.07 at 6:58 am

    i want to join software company and so test my knowlege about testing thats it

    #30 zakir on 11.29.07 at 1:02 pm

    @sujatha

    Validation ensures that ‘you built the right thing’ and Verification ensures that ‘you built it right’.
    ‘Building the right thing’(Validation) refers back to the user’s needs,
    while ‘building it right’(Verification) checks that the documented development process was followed.

    Simply saying, Verification involves the process in building the product (i.e., all the documentation, walkthroughs, etc)
    while Validation involves the actual testing in which we test that the product has been built as per client’s need and requirements has been met.

    Hope this clears you sujatha….

    #31 test on 11.30.07 at 10:53 am

    Q14) Let’s put it this way: Defect management process.
    It is a process that constitutes defect prevention. Because to avoid occurance one needs to follow a process..documentation process,etc
    Management Reporting: This is to bring it to the notice of the management incase a new process/changes in the existing process are made towards defect prevention/reduction.

    Deliverables base-lining is an activity which is not a part of a process as it is mostly taken up at the end of a phase (say regression testing). For the defects that are identified in a given phase can have Defect Prevention Process to avoid them occuring again and the management might approve the process.

    henc correct answer is ‘b’

    Hi,

    according to CSTE study guide, the answer to question 14 should be d. since in the figure given in the study guide, defect prevention, deliverable baselining and yes even management reporting is part of the defect management process.

    #71 Cathy on 02.12.08 at 4:02 pm

    I agree with Sujata and Thulasi, Regarding first question as per CBOK Verification answers the question, “Did we build the right system?” while validations addresses, “Did we build the system right?”.

    See CBOK 1.9.1 Verification versus Validation

    #81 Kumar on 03.09.08 at 6:56 am

    The answer to Q1 is a.

    Verification: comprises all activities that deal with checking whether the processes and standards followed are right. For example, any audit or review will be a verification task. I am sure you will agree reviews are intended to go beyond what the requirements suggest and check for testability of the requirements and also the validity of the requriements. Hence, verification is checking if we are building the right product; i.e. if the product will really help the customer whereas validation (as in testing) checks if we are building the product (as defined in the requirements) right! Hope this clarifies.

    10. The purpose of requirement phase is
    a. To freeze requirements
    b. To understand user needs
    c. To define the scope of testing
    d. All of the above

    I think answer must be option B not the D. Because it is more appropriate.

    b. A black box testing technique than can only be used during system testing
    c. A black box testing technique appropriate to all levels of testing
    d. A white box testing technique appropriate for component testing

    24. When a new testing tool is purchased, it should be used first by:
    a. A small team to establish the best way to use the tool
    b. Everyone who may eventually have some use for the tool
    c. The independent testing team
    d. The vendor contractor to write the initial scripts

    I have small doubt in the answer of the Question no 10.

    Are u sure that answer is d)

    Plz clerify me… thnaks in advance

    #198 Girija Prasad Mohanty on 11.26.08 at 9:44 am

    Hi Felicia,
    The option d is absolutely correct for a better understanding refer below details about requirement phase:
    Requirements Phase:
    The most effective testing programs start at the beginning of a project, long before any program code has been written. The requirements documentation is verified first; then, in the later stages of the project, testing can concentrate on ensuring the quality of the application code. Expensive reworking is minimized by eliminating requirements-related defects early in the project’s life, prior to detailed design or coding work.
    The requirements specifications for a software application or system must ultimately describe its functionality in great detail. One of the most challenging aspects of requirements development is communicating with the people who are supplying the requirements. Each requirement should be stated precisely and clearly, so it can be understood in the same way by everyone who reads it.
    If there is a consistent way of documenting requirements, it is possible for the stakeholders responsible for requirements gathering to effectively participate in the requirements process. As soon as a requirement is made visible, it can be tested and clarified by asking the stakeholders detailed questions. A variety of requirement tests can be applied to ensure that each requirement is relevant, and that everyone has the same understanding of its meaning.
    Involve Testers from the Beginning
    Testers need to be involved from the beginning of a project’s life cycle so they can understand exactly what they are testing and can work with other stakeholders to create testable requirements.
    Defect prevention is the use of techniques and processes that can help detect and avoid errors before they propagate to later development phases. Defect prevention is most effective during the requirements phase, when the impact of a change required to fix a defect is low: The only modifications will be to requirements documentation and possibly to the testing plan, also being developed during this phase. If testers (along with other stakeholders) are involved from the beginning of the development life cycle, they can help recognize omissions, discrepancies, ambiguities, and other problems that may affect the project requirements’ testability, correctness, and other qualities.
    A requirement can be considered testable if it is possible to design a procedure in which the functionality being tested can be executed, the expected output is known, and the output can be programmatically or visually verified.
    Testers need a solid understanding of the product so they can devise better and more complete test plans, designs, procedures, and cases. Early test-team involvement can eliminate confusion about functional behavior later in the project life cycle. In addition, early involvement allows the test team to learn over time, which aspects of the application are the most critical to the end user and which are the highest-risk elements. This knowledge enables testers to focus on the most important parts of the application first, avoiding over-testing rarely used areas and under-testing the more important ones.
    Some organizations regard testers strictly as consumers of the requirements and other software development work products, requiring them to learn the application and domain as software builds are delivered to the testers, instead of involving them during the earlier phases. This may be acceptable in smaller projects, but in complex environments it is not realistic to expect testers to find all significant defects if their first exposure to the application is after it has already been through requirements, analysis, design, and some software implementation. More than just understanding the “inputs and outputs” of the software, testers need deeper knowledge that can come only from understanding the thought process used during the specification of product functionality. Such understanding not only increases the quality and depth of the test procedures developed, but also allows testers to provide feedback regarding the requirements.
    The earlier in the life cycle a defect is discovered, the cheaper it will be to fix it. The table above outlines the relative cost to correct a defect depending on the life-cycle stage in which it is discovered.
    Verify the Requirements
    In his work on specifying the requirements for buildings, Christopher Alexander describes setting up a quality measure for each requirement: “The idea is for each requirement to have a quality measure that makes it possible to divide all solutions to the requirement into two classes: those for which we agree that they fit the requirement and those for which we agree that they do not fit the requirement.” In other words, if a quality measure is specified for a requirement, any solution that meets this measure will be acceptable, and any solution that does not meet the measure will not be acceptable. Quality measures are used to test the new system against the requirements.
    Attempting to define the quality measure for a requirement helps to rationalize fuzzy requirements. For example, everyone would agree with a statement like “the system must provide good value,” but each person may have a different interpretation of “good value.” In devising the scale that must be used to measure “good value,” it will become necessary to identify what that term means. Sometimes requiring the stakeholders to think about a requirement in this way will lead to defining an agreed-upon quality measure. In other cases, there may be no agreement on a quality measure. One solution would be to replace one vague requirement with several unambiguous requirements, each with its own quality measure.
    It is important that guidelines for requirement development and documentation be defined at the outset of the project. In all but the smallest programs, careful analysis is required to ensure that the system is developed properly. Use cases are one way to document functional requirements, and can lead to more thorough system designs and test procedures. (In most of this book, the broad term requirement will be used to denote any type of specification, whether a use case or another type of description of functional aspects of the system.)
    In addition to functional requirements, it is also important to consider nonfunctional requirements, such as performance and security, early in the process: They can determine the technology choices and areas of risk. Nonfunctional requirements do not endow the system with any specific functions, but rather constrain or further define how the system will perform any given function. Functional requirements should be specified along with their associated nonfunctional requirements. (Chapter 9 discusses nonfunctional requirements.)
    Following is a checklist that can be used by testers during the requirements phase to verify the quality of the requirements. Using this checklist is a first step toward trapping requirements-related defects as early as possible, so they don’t propagate to subsequent phases, where they would be more difficult and expensive to find and correct. All stakeholders responsible for requirements should verify that requirements possess the following attributes.
    • Correctness of a requirement is judged based on what the user wants. For example, are the rules and regulations stated correctly? Does the requirement exactly reflect the user’s request? It is imperative that the end user, or a suitable representative, be involved during the requirements phase. Correctness can also be judged based on standards. Are the standards being followed?
    • Completeness ensures that no necessary elements are missing from the requirement. The goal is to avoid omitting requirements simply because no one has asked the right questions or examined all of the pertinent source documents.
    Testers should insist that associated nonfunctional requirements, such as performance, security, usability, compatibility, and accessibility, are described along with each functional requirement. Nonfunctional requirements are usually documented in two steps:
    • A system-wide specification is created that defines the nonfunctional requirements that apply to the system. For example, “The user interface of the Web system must be compatible with Netscape Navigator 4.x or higher and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or higher.”
    • Each requirement description should contain a section titled “Nonfunctional Requirements” documenting any specific nonfunctional needs of that particular requirement that deviate from the system-wide nonfunctional specification.
    • Consistency verifies that there are no internal or external contradictions among the elements within the work products, or between work products. By asking the question, “Does the specification define every essential subject-matter term used within the specification?” we can determine whether the elements used in the requirement are clear and precise. For example, a requirements specification that uses the term “viewer” in many places, with different meanings depending on context, will cause problems during design or implementation. Without clear and consistent definitions, determining whether a requirement is correct becomes a matter of opinion.
    • Testability (or verifiability) of the requirement confirms that it is possible to create a test for the requirement, and that an expected result is known and can be programmatically or visually verified. If a requirement cannot be tested or otherwise verified, this fact and its associated risks must be stated, and the requirement must be adjusted if possible so that it can be tested.
    • Feasibility of a requirement ensures that it can be implemented given the budget, schedules, technology, and other resources available.
    • Necessity verifies that every requirement in the specification is relevant to the system. To test for relevance or necessity, the tester checks the requirement against the stated goals for the system. Does this requirement contribute to those goals? Would excluding this requirement prevent the system from meeting those goals? Are any other requirements dependent on this requirement? Some irrelevant requirements are not really requirements, but proposed solutions.
    • Prioritization allows everyone to understand the relative value to stakeholders of the requirement. Pardee suggests that a scale from 1 to 5 be used to specify the level of reward for good performance and penalty for bad performance on a requirement. If a requirement is absolutely vital to the success of the system, then it has a penalty of 5 and a reward of 5. A requirement that would be nice to have but is not really vital might have a penalty of 1 and a reward of 3. The overall value or importance stakeholders place on a requirement is the sum of its penalties and rewards-in the first case, 10, and in the second, 4. This knowledge can be used to make prioritization and trade-off decisions when the time comes to design the system. This approach needs to balance the perspective of the user (one kind of stakeholder) against the cost and technical risk associated with a proposed requirement (the perspective of the developer, another kind of stakeholder).
    • Unambiguousness ensures that requirements are stated in a precise and measurable way. The following is an example of an ambiguous requirement: “The system must respond quickly to customer inquiries.” “Quickly” is innately ambiguous and subjective, and therefore renders the requirement untestable. A customer might think “quickly” means within 5 seconds, while a developer may think it means within 3 minutes. Conversely, a developer might think it means within 2 seconds and over-engineer a system to meet unnecessary performance goals.
    • Traceability ensures that each requirement is identified in such a way that it can be associated with all parts of the system where it is used. For any change to requirements, is it possible to identify all parts of the system where this change has an effect?
    To this point, each requirement has been considered as a separately identifiable, measurable entity. It is also necessary to consider the connections among requirements-to understand the effect of one requirement on others. There must be a way of dealing with a large number of requirements and the complex connections among them. Suzanne Robertson suggests that rather than trying to tackle everything simultaneously, it is better to divide requirements into manageable groups. This could be a matter of allocating requirements to subsystems, or to sequential releases based on priority. Once that is done, the connections can be considered in two phases: first the internal connections among the requirements in each group, then the connections among the groups. If the requirements are grouped in a way that minimizes the connections between groups, the complexity of tracing connections among requirements will be minimized.
    Traceability also allows collection of information about individual requirements and other parts of the system that could be affected if a requirement changes, such as designs, code, tests, help screens, and so on. When informed of requirement changes, testers can make sure that all affected areas are adjusted accordingly.
    As soon as a single requirement is available for review, it is possible to start testing that requirement for the aforementioned characteristics. Trapping requirements-related defects as early as they can be identified will prevent incorrect requirements from being incorporated in the design and implementation, where they will be more difficult and expensive to find and correct.
    After following these steps, the feature set of the application under development is now outlined and quantified, which allows for better organization, planning, tracking, and testing of each feature.

    Plz answer the following question—–

    If a website like MSN search engine is given 2u to test , wht r the important test cases will u write for testing??

    1. Functional,Nevigational,Performance,Stress
    2. Only functional and nevigational
    3. Only Performance ,stress & load
    4. None of the above

    #226 Ash on 03.07.09 at 4:36 pm

    Usability relates to –

    1. The degree to which the system performs its intended functions
    2. the degree of efforts needed to learn,operate,prepare I/P,& interprete O/P
    3. The ability of s/w to be transfred from one envirnment to another
    4. the degree to which the s/w is expected to perform its required function under

    #227 Hi on 03.09.09 at 6:05 am

    If a website like MSN search engine is given 2u to test , wht r the important test cases will u write for testing??

    1. Functional,Nevigational,Performance,Stress
    2. Only functional and nevigational
    3. Only Performance ,stress & load
    4. None of the above

    Ans : 1)Obviously we need to do Functional Testing- To check whether the actual functionality is working as per the expectations(here we make sure that each components are functioning correctly) or not.

    Coming to Navigation Testing- yes of course we check navigation between pages.This includes such as, when we click on some Links,checking whether its redirected to exact page or not.

    Performance/Stress Testing - since MSN search engine is web application and many users access to it at the same time. so we must check performance of this application by creating many virtual users, loging in at same time. And also check how well system performs under heavy load, i,e stress testing.

    Usability relates to –

    1. The degree to which the system performs its intended functions
    2. the degree of efforts needed to learn,operate,prepare I/P,& interprete O/P
    3. The ability of s/w to be transfred from one envirnment to another
    4. the degree to which the s/w is expected to perform its required function under

    ans : 2)

    d) Test procedure plan
    Q2. Which of the following is not decided in the test-planning phase?
    d) Types of test cases
    Q3. Typical defects that are easier to find in reviews than in dynamic testing are:
    E.All of the above.
    Q4. Load Testing Tools

    or
    d) all of the above
    Q5. Reviews, static analysis and dynamic testing have the same objective –
    C. 1 and 2

    C. Shows the cumulative total number of defects found up to this time.

    Q7. What are the 2 major components taken into consideration with risk analysis?
    d) Neither a nor b
    Q8. We can achieve complete statement coverage but still miss bugs because:
    A. The failure occurs only if you reach a statement taking the TRUE branch of an IF statement, and you got to the statement with a test that passed through the FALSE branch.
    B. The failure depends on the program’s inability to handle specific data values, rather than on the program’s flow of control.
    C. Both A and B

    c) a and b

    Q11. What are the key features to be concentrated upon when doing a testing forworld wide web sites
    d) All of the above
    Q12. What can be done if requirements are changing continuously?
    a) Work with the project’s stakeholders early on to understand howrequirements might change so that alternate test plans and strategiescan be worked out in advance, if possible.
    b) Negotiate to allow only easily-implemented new requirements into theproject, while moving more difficult new requirements into futureversions of the application
    c) Both a and b
    d) None of the above
    Q13. The selection of test cases for regression testing

    Q18. Tools like change Man, Clear case are used as
    c. configuration management tools

    Q19. Important consequences of the impossibility of complete testing are
    A. We can never be certain that the program is bug free.

    Q20. Which is not in sequence in 11 Step Software Testing process
    d) Test software requirement
    Q21. In the MASPAR case study:
    A. Security failures were the result of untested parts of code.
    B. The development team achieved complete statement and branch coverage butmissed a serious bug in the MASPAR operating system.
    C. An error in the code was so obscure that you had to test the function with almostevery input value to find its two special-case failures.
    D. All of the above.
    Q22. Complete statement and branch coverage means:

    B. That you have tested every statement and every branch in the program.
    Q23. What if the project isn’t big enough to justify extensive testing
    c) a and b

    Q24. Security falls under
    a. compliance testing

    Q25. Which is the best definition of complete testing:
    C. You have completed every test in the test plan.

    Q26. What is the concept of introducing a small change to the program and having theeffects of that change show up in some test?
    e) Introducing mutations
