CTFL-2018 Exam - Question 5


Which of the following options BEST explains the pesticide paradox principle of testing?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The pesticide paradox principle of testing suggests that if the same set of tests are repeated over time, they will stop finding new defects. Essentially, if we do not regularly review and revise our tests, we'll stop finding defects because the software will become immune to these tests, much like pests becoming resistant to the same pesticide. Therefore, continuous enhancement and diversification of the test cases are necessary to uncover new and existing defects effectively.
