Your Answers

Question 1/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which testing activity involves testing new code and the modified old code to ensure the integrity of the software?

Available answers

Regression testing ensures that recently added or modified code does not adversely impact the existing code and features of the software.
Question 2/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
In the context of software testing, what does the term "mock" refer to?

Available answers

Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. They replace real components to focus tests on particular parts of the application logic.
Question 3/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which testing methodology uses automated test cases run frequently to provide quick feedback on small changes in the codebase?

Available answers

Test-driven development involves writing automated test cases before developing the functionality, providing quick feedback on code changes by running tests frequently.
Question 4/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What testing approach involves evaluating software in its production environment?

Available answers

Live testing, also known as operational testing, involves testing software in the production environment to evaluate its performance and functionality under real-world conditions.
Question 5/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
In a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, which type of testing is crucial for frequent code integration?

Available answers

Unit testing is essential in a CI/CD pipeline as it validates individual pieces of code functionality, facilitating frequent integration and minimizing the risk of introducing defects.
Question 6/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
During which testing phase is a defect most cost-effective to fix?

Available answers

Defects caught during unit testing are more cost-effective to fix because they are usually identified much earlier in the development lifecycle, before later integration and deployment activities.
Question 7/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is the primary purpose of unit testing?

Available answers

Unit testing focuses on verifying the functionality of individual components, typically functions or methods, in isolation.
Question 8/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is a major benefit of automated testing in software development?

Available answers

Automated testing provides consistent, repeatable testing efficiently, executing tests faster compared to manual processes. However, manual testing is still valuable for exploratory and nuanced scenarios.
Question 9/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which of the following testing types focuses on ensuring the application can handle anticipated future growth?

Available answers

Scalability testing assesses how well the application can handle increased loads, verifying its ability to scale upwards to meet future demands.
Question 10/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which test type is primarily focused on assessing how well a system scales under increased load?

Available answers

Scalability testing determines how well a software system can expand or scale up in response to increasing demands, ensuring it can handle future growth.
Question 11/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is the key focus of load testing?

Available answers

Load testing focuses on assessing how the application behaves under the expected user load, ensuring it can perform optimally during peak usage periods.
Question 12/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which type of testing is often done first after a new build is received?

Available answers

Smoke testing is often the first test performed after a new build to ensure the basic functionalities work and the build is stable for further testing.
Question 13/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which testing strategy is most likely to use black-box testing methods?

Available answers

System testing commonly uses black-box testing methods, where the tester examines the functionality without concern for internal code structure.
Question 14/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is the main focus of acceptance testing?

Available answers

Acceptance testing is performed to verify if the whole system meets the business requirements and is ready for deployment from the users' perspective.
Question 15/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What represents a minimal set of tests to ensure that the most crucial functions of a system are working after a new build?

Available answers

A smoke test suite includes a minimal set of tests focusing on core functionalities to verify that the most crucial operations of a system work well after a new build.
