Answer: (d) Both option a & c

Explanation: Regression testing is used to authenticate a code change in the software that
does not impact the product’s existing functionality. Regression testing can be performed
on a new build when there is a significant change in the original functionality. It ensures
that the code still works when the changes are occurring.

Function testing
System testing

Statement testing

Database testing

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: © Statement testing

Explanation: Testing is a group of techniques to determine the application’s correctness

under the predefined script, but testing cannot find all the defects in the application.
Testing includes an examination of code and the execution of code in various
environments, conditions, and all the examining aspects of the code.

20) Which Test Document is used to define the Exit Criteria of Testing?

Defect Report

Test Summary Report

Test Case

Test Plan

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (d) Test Plan

Explanation: The Exit criteria of the functional testing should be followed because the
percentage (%) of exit criteria are decided by the meeting with both development and test
manager because their collaboration can achieve the percentage. And When all the test
cases are executing, most of the test cases must be passed.

Exit Criteria
How much regression testing should be done?

Different Tools to perform Regression Testing

How many more test cases need to write?

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (b) how much regression testing should be done

Explanation: In regression testing, once we understand the new requirements, we will

perform one round of impact analysis to avoid the major risk. The impact analysis is done
by the customer based on their business knowledge, the developer based on their coding
knowledge. Most importantly, it is done by the test engineer because they have product
knowledge.

Answer: (d) Software development testing (SDLC) model

Explanation: Whenever we have a large and complex application, we go for the V model. In
the V model, firstly, all the activities go in the downward direction, and at one point in time,
it starts moving in the upward direction, and to re-use the test document for the testing
process and forms a V shape.
 31) Which of the below testing is executed without documentation and planning is
known as?

Regression Testing

Adhoc Testing

Unit Testing

None of the above

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (b) Adhoc testing

Explanation: Whenever we have to randomly check the application without following any
sequence or procedure, we do one round of Adhoc testing. Since the user doesn’t know
how to use the application, they may use it randomly and find some issues. Adhoc testing
is also known as negative testing because we test the application against the client’s
requirements.

32) Which of the below testing is related to Non-functional testing?

Unit Testing

Black-box Testing

Performance Testing

None of the above

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: © Performance testing

Explanation: Non-functional testing is testing where the tester will test the non-functional
parameters, for example, performance, reliability, load test, and accountability of the
software or application. And Performance testing is testing where we check the behavior of
an application by applying some load.

33) Which of the below testing is related to black-box testing?

Boundary value analysis

Code path analysis

Basic path testing

None of the above

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (a) Boundary value analysis

Explanation: The Black box testing is testing where we examine the software’s functionality
without looking into its internal structure or coding. And the boundary value analysis is
used to test boundary values as the input values near the boundary have higher chances of
error. And it is one of the widely used case design techniques for black-box testing.

Beta testing

White-box testing

Grey box testing

Alpha testing
Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (a) Beta testing

Explanation: The user acceptance testing is done once the application is bug-free because
no customer accepts the application blindly before using it. Hence, they perform one
round of testing for their satisfaction. And Beta testing is one essential part of Acceptance
Testing, which is performed before releasing the software.

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (b) Low-level components are combined into clusters that perform a specific
software sub-function.

Explanation: The Regression testing is used to authenticate a code change in the software,
which does not impact the product’s existing functionality. And it also ensures that the
product works fine with new functionality, bug fixes, or any change in the existing feature.

White box Test Design Technique

Black Box Test Design Technique

Experience-based Test Design Technique

Grey Box Test Design Technique

combinations and their respective system behavior are captured in a tabular form. The
Decision table technique is suitable for the functions, which have a logical relationship
between two and more than two inputs.
