Question

Which of the following combinations correctly describes a valid approach to

component testing:
i) Functional testing of the component in isolation.
ii) Structure-based testing of the code without recording incidents.
iii) Automated tests that are run until the component passes.
iv) Functional testing of the interfaces between modules.
A. i and ii
B. i, ii and iii
C. iii
D. ii and iv

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option A, which includes functional testing of the component in isolation and structure-based testing of the code, both valid approaches to component testing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed relates to component testing, which is a process in software engineering where individual components or units of a software are tested in isolation to ensure they function correctly. The correct combinations for a valid approach to component testing are:

• Functional testing of the component in isolation: This ensures that each component works as expected on its own.
• Structure-based testing of the code: This involves testing the internal structures or workings of a module.

Thus, the valid approaches to component testing are i (Functional testing of the component in isolation) and ii (Structure-based testing of the code without recording incidents). Options iii (Automated tests that are run until the component passes) and iv (Functional testing of the interfaces between modules) are not strictly component testing approaches. The latter is more related to integration testing.

The correct answer to the question is Option A, which includes both i and ii.
