Question 1 of 93

Testing and Debugging are key activities in the software development lifecycle.

a) Designing tests to find failures.

b) Locating the cause of failures.

c) Analysing and fixing the defects.

d) Executing tests to show failures.

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing, and fixing defects in the software. Therefore, the activities that fall under debugging include locating the cause of failures and analyzing and fixing the defects. Designing tests to find failures and executing tests to show failures are part of the testing process, not debugging.

Question 2 of 93

Which of the following would achieve the HIGHEST level of testing independence for a project's system test level?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

Outsourcing test design and execution to a different company achieves the highest level of testing independence for a project's system test level. This approach ensures that the tests are designed and executed by a completely separate entity, which minimizes any potential bias that could arise from internal pressures or developer influence. This level of separation is greater than what can be achieved by internal teams, even if they are independent within the company.

Question 3 of 93

After a record of poor quality software releases (incorrect menu selection options, new features that do not work, users allowed to change security levels without administrator rights), you have been asked to review the test capability in your company.

You have limited time to do the review before the next project, which type of testing would be MOST appropriate to review first?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

Given the issues described—incorrect menu selection options, new features that do not work, and improper security level changes—it is evident that the primary concern is the functionality of the software. Functional testing is designed to verify that the software functions as intended and meets all specified requirements. It focuses on checking whether all functional requirements are correctly implemented, addressing issues like incorrect UI behavior, feature failures, and access control problems. Therefore, functional testing is the most appropriate type of testing to review first.

Question 4 of 93

Which of the following are triggers for Maintenance testing?

a) System migration from one platform to another.

b) Retirement of a system.

c) Preparation for an audit of a system.

d) Modifications to a system.

e) Development of a whole new system.

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

Maintenance testing is triggered by significant events or changes affecting the system. These include system migration from one platform to another, modifications to a system, and retirement of a system, as these scenarios can introduce new risks or changes to the system that need verification. Preparation for an audit does not typically trigger maintenance testing, and the development of an entirely new system requires a broader range of testing beyond maintenance tests. Therefore, the correct triggers are system migration, system retirement, and system modifications.

Question 5 of 93

Which of the following apply to System Testing?

a) May satisfy legal requirements.

b) Can use system specifications as a test basis.

c) Often the responsibility of business users.

d) Test objects include recovery systems and hot sites.

e) Should focus on the communication between systems.

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

System testing can indeed satisfy legal or regulatory requirements or standards, which is often necessary for compliance. Moreover, system specifications, including both functional and non-functional requirements, are commonly used as a test basis during system testing to ensure the system operates correctly according to the outlined specifications.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
