Q. 6: There are several risks of managing your
project's schedule with a
statistical reliability model. These include (choose
one or more of the following):
A. Testers spend more
energy early in the product trying to find bugs than preparing to
do the rest of the
project's work more efficiently
B. Managers might not
realize that the testing effort is ineffective, late in the project,
because they expect a low
rate of bug finding, so the low rate achieved doesn't alarm
them.
C. It can increase the
end-of-project pressure on testers to not find bugs, or to not report
bugs.
D. All of the above
Q. 7: Typical defects that are easier to find in
reviews than in dynamic testing are:

standards,

C. A. and B
D. None of the above
Q. 9: We can achieve complete statement coverage but
still miss bugs because:
A. The failure occurs only
if you reach a statement taking the TRUE branch of an IF
statement, and you got to
the statement with a test that passed through the FALSE
branch.
B. The failure depends on
the program's inability to handle specific data values, rather
than on the program's flow
of control.
C. We are not required to
test code that customers are unlikely to execute.
D. All of the above
Q. 10: Measurement dysfunction is a problem because:
A. Even though the numbers
you look at appear better, to achieve these numbers,
people are doing other
aspects of their work much less well.
B. We don't know how to
measure a variable (our measurement is dysfunctional) and so
we don't know how to
interpret the result.
C. You are measuring the
wrong thing and thus reaching the wrong conclusions.
D. All of the above.
Q. 11: Important consequences of the impossibility
of complete testing are
(Choose one or more answers):
A. We can never be certain
that the program is bug free.
B. We have no definite
stopping point for testing, which makes it easier for some
managers to argue for very
little testing.

for what testing tasks should always be required, because
every task takes time that
could be spent on other high importance tasks.
