Important consequences of the impossibility of complete testing are ..?

1. A. We can never be certain that the program is bug free
2. B. We have no definite stopping point for testing, which makes it easier for some managers to argue for very little testing

Which of the following defects is most likely to be found by a test harness?

1. A. Variance from programming standards.
2. B. A defect in middleware.
3. C. Memory leaks.
4. D. Regression defects.

Correct Answer: B
Variance from programming standards defects (option (A)) are found during the review or static testing process. Therefore a test harness is unlikely to find a defect in programming standards.
Memory leak defects (option (C)) could potentially be found by a test harness designed to run many test cases. Regression defects (option (D)) could be found using many types of test tool.
Defects in middleware (option (B)) are generally more likely to be found by a test harness or a dynamic analysis tool than by any other type of tool.

A top-down development strategy affects which level of testing most?

1. A. Component testing
2. B. Integration testing
3. C. System testing
4. D. User acceptance testing

Correct Answer: B
The development strategy will affect the component testing (option (A)), in so far as it cannot be tested unless it has been built. Options (C) and (D) require the system to have been delivered; at these points the development strategy followed is not important to the tester. Option (B) needs knowledge of the development strategy in order to determine the order in which components will be integrated and tested.
