Q:

Which of the following is not a static testing technique?

A) Inspections B) Data flow analysis
C) Error guessing D) Walkthrough
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Error guessing

Explanation:

Static Testing, a software testing technique in which the software is tested without executing the code. This Techniques provide a powerful way to improve the quality and productivity of software development by assisting engineers to recognize and fix their own defects early in the software development process.

 

It has two parts as listed below:

Review - Typically used to find and eliminate errors or ambiguities in documents such as requirements, design, test cases, etc.

Static analysis - The code written by developers are analysed (usually by tools) for structural defects that may lead to defects.

 

In this software is tested without executing the code by doing Review, Walk Through, Inspection or Analysis etc.

 

Hence, Error guessing is not a static software testing technique.

Q:

What is "bug leakage?" and what is "bug release?"

Answer

A bug leakage results when a bug is detected which should have been detected in earlier builds/versions of the application.


A defect which exists during testing yet unfound by the tester which is eventually found by the tester/end-user is also called bug leakage.


A bug release is when a particular version of s/w is released with a set of known bug(s)/defect(s). These bugs are usually low severity and/or low priority bugs. It is done when the company can afford the existence of bug in the released s/w rather than the time/cost for fixing it in that particular version. These bugs are usually mentioned in the Release Notes.

Q:

main()

{

float me = 1.1;

double you = 1.1;

if(me==you)

printf("yes");

else

printf("No");

}

A) Yes B) No
C) Both D) Compilation error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) No

Explanation:

For floating point numbers (float, double, long double) the values cannot be predicted exactly. Depending on the number of bytes, the precession with of the value represented varies. Float takes 4 bytes and long double takes 10 bytes. So float stores 0.9 with less precision than long double.
