Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a grey-box test case?

  • To predict correct results on the interface
  • To increase coverage metrics (correct)
  • To ensure that the design meets the functionality intent
  • To drive all permutations on the input lines
  • Why is full verification not practical on large pieces of designs?

  • Because it entails driving all permutations on the input lines (correct)
  • Because it is intended to exercise significant features specific to the implementation
  • Due to the difficulty in predicting correct results on the interface
  • Because the principles of verification are not valid across all verification
  • How does a grey-box test case differ from a black-box test case?

  • It drives all permutations on the input lines
  • It predicts correct results on the interface without viewing internal signals
  • It is written to increase coverage metrics (correct)
  • It ensures that the design meets the functionality intent
  • What is the reconvergence model for testing focused on?
