CSTE Preparation Questions Set - 3

1. Give two examples of well-defined user acceptance criteria. 

1) Response time must be less than 5 seconds.
2) At least 20 concurrent users must be allowed into the system.

2. What is the difference between a test objective and a test case? 

1) Test objective is the overall test criteria that must be met.
2) Test cases include test specifics, procedures, inputs, and expected results.

3. Should assumptions be included in a test plan? Why or why not? 

Yes, otherwise many test issues fall through the cracks. 

4. Define entrance and exit criteria. 

1) Entrance criteria - Minimum standards to be met before product will be tested.
2) Exit criteria - Minimum standards to be met before the product is released. 

5. List eight parts of a typical system test plan. 

1) Software description
2) Milestones
3) Schedule
4) Test materials
5) Test procedures
6) Test cases
7) Test methods
8) Test assumptions

6. Give four examples of test specific metrics. 

1) User participation;
2) Number of paths tested;
3) Cost of all testing;
4) Number of defects found; and

It can be used to compare actual number of defects found to the number of defects expected or to indicate the number of functional requirements actually tested.

10. What are two ways to demonstrate the test process has been performed correctly? 

Perform quality control on the test process by comparing the number of defects in the test process to previous test process; or
