TESTING TECHNIQUES (5.

50)

1. Fill in the blanks below with the two types of testing that are conducted when
performing dynamic testing that executes system code:

_________________ testing addresses the overall behavior of the program by testing

transaction flows, input validation, and functional completeness.

_________________ testing includes path testing, code coverage testing and

analysis, logic testing, nested loop testing, and many similar techniques.

2. Performance and stress testing are considered ___________________ testing.

3. White Box testing assumes that the path of logic in a unit or program is not known. (T/F)

4. Name 3 of 5 techniques of White Box testing:

__________________
__________________
__________________

5. Black Box testing determines whether combinations of inputs and operations produce
expected results. (T/F)

6. One technique of Black Box testing is Equivalence Partitioning. In a program statement

that accepts only one choice from among 10 possible choices, numbered 1 through 10,
the middle partition would be from _____ to _____.

7. In the above example, using a Boundary Analysis technique, the lower boundary input(s)
would be:

a. 1
b. –1 and +1
c. 0 and 2
d. 0 and 1

8. Incremental Testing involves adding unit-tested programs to a given module or

component one by one, and testing each resultant combination. Of the two types, Top-
down is often thought to be easier because drivers are often easier to create than stubs.
(T/F)

9. The type of testing performed once enough units are integrated with Incremental Testing
such that a single business function can be performed is known as:

a. System
b. Integration
c. Unit
d. Thread

10. Acceptance Testing, as a standard test stage, lends itself only to the _____________
technique of testing.
