Top-Down Integration Testing

Which type of integration testing involves the integration of modules starting from the lowest-level modules?

Bottom-Up Integration Testing

Which type of testing aims to discover any defects that may arise when the modules are integrated and must interact with each other?

Integration testing

What is another name for Integration Testing?

String testing

What is the objective of system integration testing (SIT)?

To build a working version of the system

What is the advantage of integration testing?

Relatively fast testing process

What is the granularity of inter-system testing?

High-level testing

Which approach to integration testing involves integrating modules in an incremental manner as a series of test cycles?

Incremental

In top-down integration testing, what is the purpose of regression tests?

To test the combined modules in the presence of a new module

Which type of testing focuses on testing individual program units or modules in isolation?

Unit Testing

What is the main difference between Unit Testing and Integration Testing?

Unit Testing focuses on testing individual program units, while Integration Testing focuses on testing the interaction between different components.

What is the purpose of Integration Testing?

To test the interaction between different components of a software application.

Which testing level involves testing individual program units, such as procedures, functions, and methods, in isolation?

Unit Testing

What is the relationship between Unit Testing and Integration Testing?

Unit Testing and Integration Testing complement each other in ensuring proper software functionality.

When is Integration Testing typically performed in the software development life cycle?

After Unit Testing and before System Testing

What is the purpose of Integration and Testing (I&T)?

To test the interaction between different components of a software application

Which approach integrates a system using a mix of top-down, bottom-up, and big-bang approaches?

Sandwich Integration Testing

Which type of integration testing is more useful to test low-level modules that are often invoked by other modules?

Bottom-Up Integration Testing

What is the disadvantage of Big Bang Integration Testing?

Difficult to track and monitor testing progress

Which type of integration testing is applied to integrate the modules in the bottom-layer of a hierarchical system?

Bottom-Up Integration Testing

What is the advantage of Sandwich Integration Testing?

Top and bottom layer tests can be done in parallel

Which category of System Integration Tests ensures that a completely integrated system works together from end-to-end?

End-to-end validity

What is the disadvantage of Top-Down Integration Testing?

Does not test individual subsystems thoroughly

Which type of integration testing designs the behavior of a test driver by simplifying the behavior of the actual module?

Top-Down Integration Testing

What is the disadvantage of Sandwich Integration Testing?

Does not test individual subsystems thoroughly before integration

This quiz explores the advantages of top-down integration in software engineering. Learn about the benefits of observing system-level functions, easier isolation of interface errors, and the reuse of test cases during regression tests.
