Which statement is true regarding confirmation testing and regression testing?

• AA. Confirmation testing confirms the quality of the test being run while regression testing ensures that the software still works after a change has been made.
• BB. Confirmation testing is an optional activity whilst regression testing is not negotiable.
• CC. Confirmation testing aims to verify that a defect has been resolved and regressiontesting ensuring that existing functionality still works after a change.
• DD. Testers' involvement is essential whilst running retesting and regression testing.
• EE. TESTER Involvement is essential whilst running retesting and regression testing.

Consider the following user story about the authentication functionality of an e-commerce website: "As a logged-in user, I want to change my current password with a new one, so that I can make my account safer". The following are some of the acceptance criteria defined for the user story: [a] After the logged-in user has successfully changed his password, an email confirming the change must be sent to him [b] To successfully change the password, the logged-in user must enter the current password, enter a new valid password, and finally confirm by pressing the 'Change Password' button [c] To be valid, the new password entered by the logged-in user is not only required to meet the criteria related to the length and type of characters, but must also be different form the last 5 passwords of that user [d] A dedicated error message must be presented to the logged-in user when he enters a wrong current password [e] A dedicated error message must be presented to the logged-in user when he enters the correct current password, but enters an invalid password Based only on the given information, which of the following ATDD tests is most likely to be written first?

• AA. The logged-in user enters a wrong current password and views the dedicated error message
• BB. The logged-in user enters the correct current password, enters a valid new password(different from the last 5 passwords), presses the Change Password' button, and finally receives the e-mail confirming that the password has been successfully changed
• CC. The logged-in user enters the correct current password, enters an invalid password, and finally views the dedicated error
• DD. The logged-in user submits a purchase order containing ten items, selects to pay with a Visa credit card, enters credit card information of a valid card, presses the 'Confirm' button, and finally views the dedicated message confirming that the purchase has been successful

A calculator software is used to calculate the result for 5+6. The user noticed that the result given is 6. This is an example of;

• AA. Mistake
• BB. Fault
• CC. Error
• DD. Failure

Which of the following is not an example of a typical content of a test completion report for a test project?

• AA. The additional effort spent on test execution compared to what was planned
• BB. The unexpected test environment downtime that resulted in slower test execution
• CC. The residual risk level if a risk-based test approach was adopted
• DD. The test procedures of all test cases that have been executed

Which of the following statements is an example of testing contributing to higher quality?

• AA. A test leader writes a test summary report
• BB. A project manager asks to a test leader to estimate the test effort
• CC. A tester installs a test ten in the lest environment
• DD. A tester finds a bug which is resolved prior to release

The acceptance criteria associated with a user story:

• AA. are often written in a rule-oriented format using the template referred to as "Given/When/Then"
• BB. are often documented following in rule-oriented format using the following template: "As a [role], I want [feature], so that I can [benefit]"
• CC. can be written in different formats and represent an aspect of a user story referred to as confirmation' of the so called "3 C's"
• DD. must be written in one of the two following formats: scenario-oriented or rule-oriented

Which of the following statements about static testing and dynamic testing is TRUE?

• AA. Static testing is better suited than dynamic testing for highlighting issues that could indicate inappropriate code modulansation.
• BB. Dynamic testing can only be applied to executable work products, while static testing can only be applied to non-executable work products.
• CC. Both dynamic testing and static testing cause failures, but failures caused by static testing are usually easier and cheaper to analyse.
• DD. Security vulnerabilities can only be detected when the software is being executed, and thus they can only be detected through dynamic testing, not through static testing

Testing Quadrants, as a model, is effective in aligning stakeholders within Agile teams. Which of the following examples demonstrates this?

• AA. Using Testing Quadrants, the test manager is able to measure and communicate test coverage to all stakeholders.
• BB. Using Testing Quadrants, the test manager is able to communicate potential product risk to all stakeholders.
• CC. Using Testing Quadrant, the test manager is able to prioritize defects by linking these to a specific type of test.
• DD. Using Testing Quadrants, the test manager is able to differentiate and describe the types of tests to all stakeholders.

Which of the following characterizations applies to a test tool used for the analysis of a developer's code prior to its execution?

• AA. Tool support for test design and implementation.
• BB. Tool support for static testing.
• CC. Tool support for test execution and logging.
• DD. Tool support for performance measurement and dynamic analysis.

In a two-hour uninterrupted test session, performed as part of an iteration on an Agile project, a heuristic checklist was used to help the tester focus on some specific usability issues of a web application. The unscripted tests produced by the tester's experience during such session belong to which one of the following testing quadrants?

• AA. Q1
• BB. Q2
