Out of the following. what is not needed to specify in defect report?
Correct Answer:C
A defect report is a document that records the details of a defect found during testing. A defect report typically contains the following items:
✑ Identifier: A unique identifier for the defect report
✑ Summary: A concise summary of the defect
✑ Description: A detailed description of the defect, including the steps to reproduce it, the expected and actual results, and any relevant screenshots or logs
✑ Severity: The degree of impact that the defect has on the system
✑ Priority: The level of urgency for resolving the defect
✑ Status: The current state of the defect, such as new, open, resolved, closed, etc.
✑ Resolution: The action taken to resolve the defect, such as fix, workaround, reject, etc. Out of these items, the one that is not needed to specify in a defect report is how to fix the defect. How to fix the defect is a technical solution that is usually determined by the developer who is assigned to resolve the defect. How to fix the defect is not part of the defect report, but rather part of the code change or patch that is delivered to fix the defect. The other items are needed to specify in a defect report, as they provide essential information for identifying, tracking and resolving defects.

For the following pseudo-code determine number of tests required for 100% statement coverage
IF Gender = Boy
If Age > 3 AND Age < 5 xss=removed>ELSE IF Age >=5 AND Age < 7>Shoe Size = 2 ENDIF
ELSE
IF Age > 3 AND Age < 5>Shoe Size = 0
ELSE IF Age >=5 AND Age < 7>Shoe Size = 1 ENDIF ENDIF
Correct Answer:B
To achieve 100% statement coverage, we need to design test cases that ensure every statement in the given pseudo-code is executed at least once. Analyzing the pseudo-code, we notice that there are conditions based on two variables: Gender and Age. To cover all statements, we need to consider the paths that lead to each assignment of the Shoe Size variable.
✑ Gender = Boy, Age <= 3 (Shoe Size assignment is not reached, but the condition is evaluated)
✑ Gender = Boy, Age > 3 AND Age < 5 xss=removed>✑ Gender = Boy, Age >= 5 AND Age < 7 xss=removed>✑ Gender != Boy, Age <= 3 (Again, Shoe Size assignment is not reached, but the condition is evaluated)
✑ Gender != Boy, Age > 3 AND Age < 5 xss=removed>✑ Gender != Boy, Age >= 5 AND Age < 7 xss=removed>However, upon closer inspection, we see that tests 1 and 4 do not contribute to statement coverage as they do not lead to a Shoe Size assignment. Therefore, we only need 4 test cases to achieve 100% statement coverage, making option B the correct answer.
Which statement best describes the key difference between a mindset for test activities and a mindset for development activities?
Correct Answer:B
The key difference between the mindsets for test activities and development activities lies in the objectives: a tester is primarily concerned with finding defects to ensure product quality, while a developer focuses on designing and building solutions. This distinct focus helps ensure thorough quality checks and balances within the software development life cycle (ISTQB not-for-profit association).References:

You are testing the download process of a mobile phone application.
For which to the following capabilities to the system you need to design a nonfunctional test?
Correct Answer:A
This question asks for a non-functional aspect of testing the download process of a mobile application. Option A, "It was easy to locate, download and install the application," refers to usability, which is a non-functional quality attribute. Non-functional testing involves testing the system's attributes, such as usability, performance, reliability, etc., rather than specific behaviors or functions. Options B, "The application was correctly downloaded," C, "The application created an installation log file in a given folder," and D, "The application installed only after the user's approval," describe functional aspects, focusing on what the software does rather than how it performs or is experienced by the user.
Which of the following is a function of a dynamic analysis tool?
Correct Answer:B
A dynamic analysis tool is a tool that performs analysis of a software product based on its behavior during execution. A dynamic analysis tool can monitor various aspects of a program’s run-time performance, such as memory usage, CPU load, response time, or resource leaks. A dynamic analysis tool can monitor the allocation, use and de- allocation of memory during run-time of a program, which can help detect defects such as memory leaks, buffer overflows, or memory corruption. A dynamic analysis tool cannot provide support for traceability of tests, test results and incidents to source documents, as this is a function of a test management tool. A dynamic analysis tool cannot execute programs step-by-step in order to reproduce failures and find corresponding defects, as this is a function of a debugging tool. A dynamic analysis tool cannot provide support for release of baselines consisting of configuration items, as this is a function of a configuration management tool.
