11) The difference between re-testing and regression testing is*

re-testing is running a test again; regression testing looks for unexpected side effectsre-testing looks for unexpected side effects; regression testing is repeating those testsre-testing is done by developers, regression testing is done by independentre-testing is done after faults are fixed; regression testing is done earlier

17192421

21)Which of the following statements regarding static testing is false:*

static testing requires the running of tests through the codestatic testing includes desk checkingstatic testing includes techniques such as reviews and inspectionsstatic testing can give measurements such as cyclomatic complexity

22) What is the expected result for each of the following test cases?

24) Faults found by users are due to:*

Poor quality softwarePoor software and poor testingbad luckinsufficient time for testing

25) When reporting faults defects to developers, testers should be:*

as polite, constructive and helpful as possiblefirm about insisting that a bug is not a "feature" if it should be fixeddiplomatic, sensitive to the way they may react to criticismAll of the above

26) In which order should tests be run?*

the most important tests firstthe most difficult tests first(to allow maximum time for fixing)the easiest tests first(to give initial confidence)the order they are thought of

27) The later in the development life cycle a fault is discovered, the more expensive it is to fix. Why?*

the documentation is poor, so it takes longer to find out what the software is doingwages are risingthe fault has been built into more documentation, code, tests, etcnone of the above
