Defect-Based Testing Practice Quiz
1. What is the primary objective of defect-based testing?
a) To identify defects in the software based on historical data or previous experiences
b) To optimize code performance through systematic testing
c) To verify the correctness of the software's design specifications
d) To assess user satisfaction with the software's graphical user interface (GUI)
2. Which of the following best describes the process of defect seeding in defect-based testing?
a) Injecting known defects into the software to evaluate the effectiveness of the testing process
b) Analyzing code coverage metrics to identify potential areas of defects
c) Generating random test cases to uncover faults in the software
d) Modifying design specifications to prevent future defects from occurring
3. How does defect-based testing differ from traditional testing methods?
a) Defect-based testing primarily focuses on testing user interfaces.
b) Defect-based testing relies on providing structured inputs based on test cases.
c) Defect-based testing aims to identify defects based on known issues or past experiences.
d) Defect-based testing is only applicable to specific programming languages.
4. What is one potential limitation of defect-based testing?
a) It may overlook defects that are not present in the historical data or previous versions of the software.
b) It can only detect syntactical errors in the code.
c) It requires extensive knowledge of software architecture.
d) It is primarily effective for testing web applications, not standalone software.
