Forms the basis for the entire testing effort and should be developed for each project
What is a Testing Strategy
100
The primary goal is to prevent this
What is Defects
100
A number that represents a set of numbers in any several wyas determined by a rule involving all members of the set: AVERAGE
What is Mean
200
White Box; Black Box
What are Validation techniques
200
Occur during product development and throughout product change and operation
What is Quality control practices
200
Considered White box testing because knowledge of the internal logic of the system is used to develop test cases
What is Structural Testing
200
The capture and analysis of the information should be automated
What is Defect Management Process (one of the general principles of defect managment process)
200
The process of reporting only significant variances from what was expected.
What is Exception Report
300
At pre-determined points; Static and/or dynamic test techniques
What Denotes Continuous Testing During the Development Process
300
In large projects, it may be necessary to assign this to the defect which determines the order in which defects should be fixed.
What is Priority
300
Unit testing, Integration testing, System testing, User acceptance testing
Daily Double -- What are the Testing Stages
300
Execute the tests, Log any discrepancies, Determine if the discrepancy is a defect, Assign the defect to a developer, Resolve the defect
What is a Sample Defect Tracking Process
300
A group activity in which a team's success is made known publicly and praised. May include tangible rewards such as refreshments and award certificates.
What is Celebrating
400
Performed for all SDLC process and activities; Begins at the start of a project
What is Management of software development verification and validation activities
400
Based on pre-defined ______ descriptions, the test team should assign _______ of a defect objectively
What is Severity
400
Testing executed on the machine
What is Dynamic Testing
400
Ensure the defect is corrected, Report status of the application, Gather statistics used to develop defect expectations in future applications, Improve the software development process
What are the Four major reasons defects are reported (defect reporting)
400
The ratio of work product (i.e., function points) divided by work effort (i.e., staff days).
What is Productivity Metric
500
Verify is down and Validation is up
What is the "V" Testing Concept
500
"Get the right changes installed at the right time"
What is Primary objective of SCM
500
Addresses the overall behavior of the program by testing transacting flows, input validation, and functional completeness but no knowledge of the internal logic system is used (black box).
What is Functional testing
500
Go back to the process that orginated the defect to understand the root cause; Go back to the verification and validation processes which should have caught the defect earlier
What is using the Team's findings that include these process improvement activities (Using defects for Process Improvement)
500
Individuals who have a vested interest in the success or failure of a quality initiative.
