Question

Which of the following BEST matches the descriptions with the different categories of testtechniques?

1. Coverage is measured based on a selected structure of the test object
2. The processing within the test object is checked
3. Tests are based on defects' likelihood and their distribution
4. Deviations from the requirements are checked
5. User stories are used as the test basis
Using notation for the following 4 options:
Black - Black-box test techniques
White - White-box test techniques
Experience - Experience-based test techniques
A. Black - 4, 5 White - 1, 2; Experience - 3
B. Black - 3 White - 1, 2; Experience - 4, 5
C. Black - 4 White - 1, 2; Experience - 3, 5
D. Black - 1, 3, 5 White - 2; Experience - 4

Answer 1

The correct match for the descriptions with the test technique categories is Black-box test techniques for deviations from requirements and user stories, White-box test techniques for coverage based on structure and internal processing, and Experience-based test techniques for likelihood of defects, which corresponds to option A: Black - 4, 5 White - 1, 2; Experience - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer which of the following BEST matches the descriptions with the different categories of test techniques, we need to understand what each type of test technique involves:

• Black-box test techniques focus on the functionality of the application without peering into its internal structures or workings. Here, tests are designed using the specifications and requirements, such as user stories. Hence, deviation from requirements and user stories as a test basis would be matched with black-box testing.
• White-box test techniques involve looking at the structure and internal workings of the application. Coverage is measured based on a selected structure of the test object, and the processing within the test object is checked, matching with white-box testing.
• Experience-based test techniques use the knowledge and experience of the tester to guide testing, focusing on likely defects and their distribution based on past experiences.

Based on this understanding, the correct match for the descriptions with the test technique categories is:

1. Coverage is measured based on a selected structure of the test object - White-box test techniques
2. The processing within the test object is checked - White-box test techniques
3. Tests are based on defects' likelihood and their distribution - Experience-based test techniques
4. Deviations from the requirements are checked - Black-box test techniques
5. User stories are used as the test basis - Black-box test techniques

Thus, the answer is: Black - 4, 5 White - 1, 2; Experience - 3, which corresponds to option A.
