A.  

Static analysis can be used against a work product containing unstructured artifacts

B.  

Difficult to interpret work products are best tested using static analysis.

C.  

There may be legal issues in performing static testing on a commercially available executable library.

D.  

Test cases can be tested using static testing techniques but not the models

A.  

Very low MTBF (Mean Time Between failure)

B.  

Potentially endless loops

C.  

Referencing a variable with an undefined value

D.  

Security vulnerabilities

A.

A.  

Repeating the same test cases will continue to find new defects, even after dozens of executions

B.  

A small number of modules contains the most defects

C.  

Since testing found very few defects, the system certainly will be successful

D.  

Other than trivial cases, it is not feasible to test all combinations of inputs and preconditions

A.  

Testing an application m development environment which is similar to the production environment

B.  

Testing the system based on specifications using simulator for a sub-system

C.  

Testing an application's behaviour to check if it fulfils business needs

D.  

Testing if e-commerce website works correctly with a third-party payment gateway

A.  

configuration management tool

B.  

unit test framework tool

C.  

test design tool

D.  

monitoring tool

A.  

This test quadrant contains smoke tests and non-functional tests (except usability tests). These tests are often automated.

B.  

This test quadrant is business-facing and criticizes the system. It contains exploratory testing, usability testing, and user acceptance testing.

C.  

This test quadrant contains functional tests, examples, user story tests, user experience prototypes, API testing, and simulations. These tests check the acceptance criteria and can be manual or automated.

D.  

This test quadrant is technology-facing and supports the team. These tests should be automated and included in the continuous integration (CI) process.

A.  

Static testing is better suited than dynamic testing for highlighting issues that could indicate inappropriate code modulansation.

B.  

Dynamic testing can only be applied to executable work products, while static testing can only be applied to non-executable work products.

C.  

Both dynamic testing and static testing cause failures, but failures caused by static testing are usually easier and cheaper to analyse.

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

A.  

Allows the expected results to be compared with the actual results.

B.  

Allows the tracking of all changes to versions of the testware.

C.  

Includes all activities that direct and control an organisation with regard to quality

D.  

Focuses on configuring static analysis tools to choose the most suitable breadth and depth of analysis.
