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 [Show Less]
