Inspection - ✔✔A code inspection is a set of procedures and error-detection techniques for group code reading. Most discussions of code inspections focus on the procedures, forms to be filled out,... and so on. Here, after a short summary of the general procedure, we will focus on the actual error-detection techniques Walkthrough - ✔✔The code walkthrough, like the inspection, is a set of procedures and error-detection techniques for group code reading. It shares much in common with the inspection process, but the procedures are slightly different, and a different error-detection technique is employed. White box - ✔✔is a software testing method in which the internal structure/ design/ implementation of the item being tested is known to the tester Black box - ✔✔is a method of software testing that examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings. This method of test can be applied virtually to every level of software testing: unit, integration, system and acceptance. Acceptance - ✔✔is the process of comparing the program to its initial requirements and the current needs of its end users. It is an unusual type of test in that it usually is performed by the program's customer or end user and normally is not considered the responsibility of the development organization. Function - ✔✔is a process of attempting to find discrepancies between the program and the external specification. An external specification is a precise description of the program's behavior from the end-user point of view. (black box testing) Types of White Box Testing - ✔✔Unit Testing. Static Analysis. Dynamic Analysis. Statement Coverage. Branch testing Coverage. Mutation Testing. Types of Black Box Testing - ✔✔functional, non-functional, and regression testing Very limited - ✔✔Which level of coding knowledge is needed to perform black box testing? System testing - ✔✔has a particular purpose: to compare the system or program to its original objectives Inspection - ✔✔Management has requested that the development team have a moderator review their newest module of code. Which type of review is being asked for? Black box - ✔✔An informal review of a module of code has been completed. The development team has decided to evaluate the module from an end user perspective. Which method should be used to determine if the code meets quality standards? Black box testing - ✔✔There is a requirement to verify the usability of a product as it is being delivered to ensure overall design and functionality without regard to the internal functioning of the code. Which quality method meets this requirement? Code inspection - ✔✔QA proposes a formal group meeting where the programmer narrates, statement by statement, the logic of a program as an error detection technique. Which quality method meets this proposal? Backtracking - ✔✔A program's state changes from what is expected. Which practice should be applied to find the location of the defect? Reproducing the error - ✔✔A web developer or QA tester encounters an error. What is the best practice to initiate resolution of this error? Ask to document each issue with details in the bug report - ✔✔Which action should a developer take after receiving an email from a QA tester stating that the application under test is not working? Ask the QA team to provide the steps to reproduce the error. - ✔✔Given code testing feedback from QA, the student chooses the correct course of action. An incomplete bug was identified and reported by the QA team. The bug only contained a description, an expected result, and an actual result. Which step should be taken by the developer? [Show More]
