UNIT-I / PART-A
1 Define software testing(Nov/Dec’14)
Software testing can be stated as the process of verifying and validating whether a software or
application is bug-free,meets the technical requirements as guided by its design and development
and meets the user requirements effectively and efficiently by handling all the exceptional and
boundary cases.
2 Explain how software testing contributes to cost savings in the software development
process.
Software testing identifies and rectifies defects early in the development cycle, reducing
the cost of fixing issues post-release, where costs can be significantly higher.
3 How does software testing help manage risk in software projects?
Software testing helps identify and mitigate potential risks by uncovering defects and
vulnerabilities, allowing for proactive risk management and minimizing unexpected issues in
production.
4 What is black-box testing?
The technique of testing in which the tester doesn’t have access to the source code of the software
and is conducted at the software interface without any concern with the internal logical structure of
the software is known as black-box testing.
5 What is white-box testing?
The technique of testing in which the tester is aware of the internal workings of the product, has
access to its source code and is conducted by making sure that all internal operations are performed
according to the specifications is known as white-box testing.
6 Compare and contrast the objectives of Black-Box Testing and White-Box Testing. Black-Box
Testing focuses on functionality, while White-Box Testing examines the internal code. Black-
Box aims to validate user requirements, while White-Box verifies
code structure and logic.
7 What are the different levels of software testing?
1.Unit Testing 2.Integration Testing 3.System Testing 4.Acceptance Testing
8 What is the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)?
STLC is a series of phases and activities that guide the testing process from test planning through
test execution, defect tracking, and reporting.
9 Why is test planning an important phase in the STLC?
Test planning defines the scope, objectives, and strategies for testing, ensuring that testing
efforts are well-organized and focused on goals.
10 Describe the significance of test planning in the Software Testing Life Cycle.
Test planning defines the scope, approach, and resources for testing. It ensures that testing
aligns with project goals, budget, and timelines.
11 How does the Software Testing Life Cycle interact with the Software Development Life Cycle
(SDLC)?
The STLC operates in parallel with the SDLC. While development creates software,
testing ensures its quality and correctness through various stages.
12 Why is test design a critical phase in the STLC?
Test design involves creating test cases, scenarios, and scripts based on requirements, ensuring
comprehensive test coverage.
13 What is the V-model of software testing?
The V-model is a software development and testing approach where each development phase has
a corresponding testing phase, forming a "V" shape.
14 How does the V-model promote early defect detection?
The V-model emphasizes testing at each development phase, allowing for early detection and
resolution of defects, reducing the cost of fixing issues later.
15 How does the V-Model reduce post-release defects?
The V-Model promotes early defect detection by testing at each development phase, reducing
the likelihood of defects surfacing after release.
16 How the V-Model enhances communication between development and testing teams?
The V-Model establishes a clear correlation between development phases and corresponding
testing phases, fostering communication by emphasizing the
interdependency of these activities.

17 What are the potential drawbacks of strictly adhering to the V-Model in software
development?
A drawback is that it can be rigid and less adaptable to changes or agile development
practices. It may not suit projects with evolving requirements.
18 What is program correctness?
Program correctness refers to the extent to which a software program meets its intended
specifications and behaves as expected.
19 What is the purpose of program verification?
Program verification is the process of formally or rigorously confirming that a program adheres to
its specifications to ensure its correctness.
20 Differentiate between verification and validation.
VERIFICATION VALIDATION
Verification is the process of evaluating Validation is the process of evaluating
software system or component to software system or component during or
determine whether the products of a given at the end of the development phase to
development phase to satisfy the satisfy the conditions imposed at the start
conditions imposed at the start of that of that phase.
phase.
Verification is usually associated with Validation is usually associated with
activities such as inspections and reviews traditional execution based testing.
of the software deliverables.
21 Why is safety critical in industries like aviation and healthcare?
Safety is critical in such industries because software failures can lead to severe consequences,
including loss of life or critical system failures.
22 What is the difference between a software failure and a software error?
A software failure is the observable malfunction of the software, while a software error is the part
of the code where the fault (defect) resides.
23 What is integration testing?
Integration testing is the second level of the software testing process which comes after unit
testing.In this testing,units or individual components of the software are tested in a group.The focus
of the integration testing level is to expose defects at the time of interaction between integrated
components or units.
24 What is System testing?
System testing is a type of software testing that is performed on a complete integrated system to
evaluate the compliance of the system with the corresponding requirements.In system
testing,integration testing passed components are taken as input.The goal of integration testing is to
detect any irregularity between the units that are integrated together.System testing detects defects
within both the integrated units and the whole system.The result of system testing is the observed
behaviour of a component or a system when it is tested.

25 What is software testing principles? 1.Testing

shows presence of defects. 2.Exhaustive testing
is not possible.
3.Early testing. 4.Defect
clustering. 5.Pesticide paradox.
6.Testing is context dependent. 7.Absence
of errors fallacy.
26 What are the different types of software testing?
Sofware testing can be broadly classified into two types:
1. Manual testing:Manual testing includes testing software manually i.e. without using any
automation tool or any script. There are different stages of manula testing such as unit
testing,integration testing,system testing and user acceptance testing.
2. Automation Testing:When the tester writes scripts and uses another software to test the
product.This process involves the automation of a manual process.
27 What is the principle of "Exhaustive Testing"?
Exhaustive testing is impractical because it would require testing all possible inputs and
scenarios. Testing is done based on risk and priority.
28 What does the "Pesticide Paradox" mean in software testing?
The Pesticide Paradox suggests that if the same test cases are repeatedly used, they become
less effective at finding new defects.
29 What is the principle of Equivalence Partitioning, and why is it important in software
testing?
Equivalence Partitioning is a testing principle that involves dividing input data into groups
or partitions to test representative values from each group. It's essential because it
optimizes test coverage by testing typical and boundary values, minimizing redundant test
cases.

30 How does early testing align with the software development process?
Early Testing involves starting testing activities as soon as possible in the software development
life cycle. It aligns with the development process by identifying defects early, reducing rework,
and saving costs associated with fixing issues later in the development cycle.

31 What is the primary goal of a Formal Technical Review (FTR) during program
inspections?
The primary goal of an FTR is to identify defects, improve software quality, and ensure that the
software adheres to standards and specifications. It involves a formal, structured
examination of code or design documents.
32 How do walkthroughs differ from inspections in program reviews?
Walkthroughs are informal and focus on knowledge sharing, while inspections are formal,
structured, and aim to find defects and ensure compliance with standards.
33 In unit testing, what is the significance of "stub" and "driver" components, and how do
they support testing?
Stubs simulate lower-level components not yet implemented, while drivers simulate higher-
level components. They allow testing to proceed when dependent components are
missing or incomplete, facilitating thorough unit testing.
34 Describe a common challenge in integration testing and how it can be mitigated.
A common challenge is detecting and resolving integration issues among components.
This can be mitigated by adopting a top-down or bottom-up integration approach, conducting
incremental testing, and using well-defined interfaces.
