c) When enough money are spend on testing
d) It depends on risk associated with that project.
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: d) It depends on risk associated with that project.
Comment: If the risks associated with the project is high then testing should be done rigorously and it must be effective and efficient.
a) Software meets its defined specification
b) Software is technically excellent
c) Software has few bugs

View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: a) When specified in advance
Comment: Defect is difference between actual and expected result so if we have expected result already specified depending upon them tester can easily say if particular test is pass or fail.
a) True
b) False
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: a) True
Comment: Software tester does not focus only on code as software definition includes component of software like design document , requirement specification, user manual etc. Tester must test software products as well as related work products for effective testing.
a) Determines that software product satisfy specified requirements
b) Demonstrate that software products are fit for use
c) Detect defects
d) All the above
View Answer / Hide Answer14. Which of the following is not an objective of testing?a) Finding defects

Comment: Fixing a defect largely depends upon severity and priority of the defect.
a) True
b) False
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: b) False
Comment: Debugging is done by developer to find the cause of defect and remove it while testing is done by tester to check if defects are fixed.
a) True
b) False
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: b) False
