Correct Answer : c
Explanation:
Error (mistake) is a human action that produces an incorrect
 result.
Fault (bug, defect) is a flaw in a component or system that can
cause the component or system to fail to perform it's required
function.
Failure is deviation of the component or system from its
expected delivery, service or result.

Q26: Which is not a testing principle
A Early testing
B Defect clustering
C Pesticide paradox
D Exhaustive testing
[44]Click here for answer
Correct Answer : d
Explanation:
There are seven principles of testing. They are as follows:
(1) Testing shows the presence of defects: Testing can show the
defects are present, but cannot prove that there are no
defects. Even after testing the application or product
thoroughly we cannot say that the product is 100% defect free.
Testing always reduces the number of undiscovered defects
remaining in the software but even if no defects are found, it
is not a proof of correctness.
(2) Exhaustive testing is impossible: Testing everything
including all combinations of inputs and preconditions is not
possible. So, instead of doing the exhaustive testing we can
use risks and priorities to focus testing efforts.
(3) Early testing: In the SDLC testing activities should start
as early as possible and should be focused on defined
objectives.
(4) Defect clustering: A small number of modules contains most
of the defects discovered during pre-release testing or shows
the most operational failures.
(5) Pesticide paradox: If the same kinds of tests are repeated,
again and again, eventually the same set of test cases will no
longer be able to find any new bugs. To overcome this
“Pesticide Paradox”, it is really very important to review the
test cases regularly and new and different tests need to be
written to exercise different parts of the software or system
to potentially find more defects.
(6) Testing is context dependent: Testing is basically context
dependent. Different kinds of software applications are tested
differently. For example, a gaming website is tested
differently from an e-commerce website.
(7) Absence – of – errors fallacy: If the system built is
 unusable and does not fulfill the user’s needs and expectations
then finding and fixing defects does not help.
Note: 'Exhaustive testing is impossible' is a testing
principle. One of the given options is 'Exhaustive testing',
which is not a testing principle.
