Section-A
Attempt all the questions of this section ( 1X5=5)
Q. No. Question Marks CO BL/ KC*
a What insights does the mutation score offer in the context of mutation testing? How
is this metric computed, and what does a high or low mutation score signify about the

robustness of the test suite in detecting altered or faulty code?
b What is the relationship between cyclomatic complexity and the number of test cases CO2
needed to achieve full branch coverage? 1 2

e How does Risk Analysis play a role in reducing the number of test cases and CO3
determining priority categories during Regression Testing 1 2
Section-B
Attempt all the questions of this Section (5X3=15)
What are non-functional requirements? How can we use software tools to test these
requirements? Discuss some popular tools along with their areas of applications.
2 OR 5 CO4 2
What is debugging? Discuss two debugging techniques. Write features of these
techniques and compare the important features.
Describe mutation testing and its objectives. Explore the relevance of mutation scores
and examine the reasons for the reluctance to utilize higher order mutants within this
testing technique

OR
How is data flow testing performed? Is it possible to design data flow test
cases manually? Justify your answer.
Discuss techniques for selection of test cases during regression testing. Why do we
4 5 CO3 2
rely on the selection of test cases based on modification traversing?

1. void sort (int a [ ], int n) {
2. int i, j;
3. for(i=0;i<n-1;i++)
4. for(i=i+1;j<n;j++)
5. if(a[i]>a[j])
