26.01 Testing Methodologies And Optimisation - Quiz

Section 26.1 Quiz: Testing methodologies and optimisation

1. Which components are essential parts of a comprehensive test plan?

   • Test objectives and scope definition {data-correct}
   • Test approaches and methodologies {data-correct}
   • Test environments and resource requirements {data-correct}
   • Only the list of test cases to execute

2. What is the primary purpose of functional testing?

   • To test how the system performs under load
   • To verify that the system does what it is supposed to do {data-correct}
   • To test the user interface design
   • To check system compatibility with different browsers

3. Which type of testing focuses on verifying how different components work together?

   • Functional testing
   • Integration testing {data-correct}
   • Non-functional testing
   • Acceptance testing

4. What is boundary value analysis used for in test data selection?

   • Testing only the middle values of input ranges
   • Testing values at the edges of input domains {data-correct}
   • Testing random values within acceptable ranges
   • Testing only invalid input values

5. Which testing approach would be most appropriate for testing login functionality that runs with every build?

   • Manual exploratory testing
   • Automated regression testing {data-correct}
   • Manual usability testing
   • Ad-hoc testing

6. What information should be included in a detailed test case?

   • Test case ID and objective {data-correct}
   • Prerequisites and test steps {data-correct}
   • Expected results and test data {data-correct}
   • Only the steps to execute

7. When is manual testing most appropriate?

   • For repetitive regression tests
   • For exploratory and usability testing {data-correct}
   • For performance testing with large datasets
   • For tests that need to run frequently

8. What is the main advantage of path testing in test data selection?

   • It tests only the happy path scenarios
   • It ensures different execution routes through code are tested {data-correct}
   • It focuses only on user interface elements
   • It eliminates the need for boundary testing

9. Which factors should be considered when deciding between automated and manual testing?

   • Test frequency and repetition requirements {data-correct}
   • Complexity of test scenarios {data-correct}
   • Available resources and return on investment {data-correct}
   • Only the cost of automation tools

10. What is the primary benefit of having detailed acceptance criteria in test cases?

    • They eliminate the need for test execution
    • They provide clear, measurable outcomes tied to requirements {data-correct}
    • They reduce the number of test steps needed
    • They make all tests suitable for automation
