Question 1/15
😊 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 2/15
😊 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 3/15
😊 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 4/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which testing strategy involves automated tests to validate code changes are not breaking existing functionality?

Available answers

Regression testing aims to identify broken functionalities due to recent code changes, ensuring new changes do not affect the existing features.
Question 5/15
😊 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 6/15
😊 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 7/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which type of testing checks an application's ability to function under abnormal conditions?

Available answers

Stress testing evaluates how an application performs under extreme conditions, such as high traffic or limited resources, to ensure stability and reliability.
Question 8/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What type of testing is primarily involved with verifying that a system complies with industry regulations and standards?

Available answers

Regulatory compliance testing ensures that the system adheres to industry regulations, standards, and legal requirements before it is released.
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 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 12/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is the key characteristic of an integration test?

Available answers

Integration tests focus on verifying the interactions and communication between integrated modules to ensure they work together correctly.
Question 13/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which testing type specifically aims to uncover compatibility issues across different computing environments?

Available answers

Compatibility testing verifies that an application works as intended across various devices, operating systems, and browsers, identifying environment-specific issues.
Question 14/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
In software testing terminology, what is a “test case”?

Available answers

A test case is a specific set of conditions or variables under which a tester determines whether a system or one of its components is working as intended.
Question 15/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which of the following is an example of a non-functional test?

Available answers

Non-functional tests evaluate aspects such as performance, load, and reliability. A performance test is designed to assess how the system performs under certain conditions.
