Which of the following statements about static testing and dynamic testing is TRUE?

1. A. Static testing is better suited than dynamic testing for highlighting issues that could indicate inappropriate code modulansation.
2. B. Dynamic testing can only be applied to executable work products, while static testing can only be applied to non-executable work products.
3. C. Both dynamic testing and static testing cause failures, but failures caused by static testing are usually easier and cheaper to analyse.
4. D. Security vulnerabilities can only be detected when the software is being executed, and thus they can only be detected through dynamic testing, not through static testing

Correct Answer: A
Static testing, such as code reviews and static analysis, is particularly effective at identifying issues related to code structure and modularization. These techniques allow for the inspection of the code without executing it, making it easier to spot problems related to how the code is organized. Dynamic testing, on the other hand, focuses on the execution of code and is better suited for identifying runtime issues but does not easily reveal structural problems. The ISTQB CTFL Syllabus v4.0 highlights the strengths of static testing in uncovering such structural issue

Which of the following statements about the typical activities of a formal review process is TRUE?

1. A. Individual review is only mandatory when the size of the work product under review is too large to cover at the review meeting
2. B. Various review techniques that may be applied by participants during individual review are described in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3 standard.
3. C. Choosing which standards to follow during the review process is usually made during review planning.
4. D. One of the main goals of the review meeting is to make sure that all participants are aware of their roles and responsibilities in the review process

Correct Answer: C
During the review planning stage, key decisions are made, including the selection of standards and procedures to be followed during the review. This planning phase ensures that the review process is structured and adheres to agreed-upon standards, which can come from industry standards such as ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3. The ISTQB CTFL Syllabus v4.0 emphasizes the importance of review planning in establishing the framework and guidelines for the review process.

Which two of the following statements describe the advantages provided by good traceability between the test basis and test work products?

1. A. Analyzing the impact of changes.i
2. B. A measure of code quality.ii
3. C. Accurate test estimation.i
4. D. Making testing auditabl
5. E. Select the correct Answer:
6. F. i and ii
7. G. i and iv
8. H. i and iii
9. I. ii and iii

Correct Answer: B
Good traceability between the test basis and test work products provides several advantages: i.Analyzing the impact of changes:Traceability allows for easy identification of which parts of the test work products will be affected by changes in the requirements or design, facilitating impact analysis. iv.Making testing auditable:Traceability ensures that there is a clear connection between the requirements and the test cases, which makes the testing process auditable and provides evidence that all requirements have been tested.

Select which of the following statements describe the key principles of software testing?

1. A. Testing shows the presence of defects, not their absence.i
2. B. Testing everything Is possible.ii
3. C. Early testing Is more expensive and is a waste of time.i
4. D. Defects cluster together.
5. E. Testing is context dependent.v
6. F. Beware of the pesticide paradox.vi
7. G. Absence of errors is a fallac
8. H. Select the correct Answer:
9. I. i, iv, v, vi and vii
10. J. I, ii,
11. K. vi and vii
12. L. ii
13. M. iv,
14. N. vi and vii
15. O. ii, iii, iv, v and vi

Correct Answer: A
The key principles of software testing include: i. Testing shows the presence of defects, not their absence. iv. Defects cluster together. v. Testing is context dependent. vi. Beware of the pesticide paradox. vii. Absence of errors is a fallacy. These principles highlight the importance of recognizing the limitations and context of testing, as well as the potential for repeated tests to become less effective.

Which of the following is an advantage of the whole team approach?

1. A. It helps avoid the risk of tasks associated with a user story not moving through the Agile task board at an acceptable rate during an iteration.
2. B. It helps team members understand the current status of an iteration by visualising the amount of work left to do compared to the time allotted for the iteration
3. C. It helps the whole team be more effective in test case design by requiring all team members to master all types of test techniques.
4. D. It helps team members develop better relationships with each other and make their collaboration more effective for the benefit of the project.

Correct Answer: D
The whole team approach, often advocated in Agile methodologies, emphasizes collaboration and collective responsibility among all team members. This approach enhances the relationships within the team and improves overall collaboration, which in turn benefits the project's success. According to the ISTQB CTFL Syllabus v4.0, the whole team approach fosters better communication and cooperation, leading to more effective problem-solving and higher-quality outcomes.
