Questions and Answers

What distinguishes inspections from testing?

  • Inspections require people to examine the source representation for anomalies. (correct)
  • Testing is done after system implementation is complete.
  • Testing requires multiple executions for each defect discovered.
  • Inspections focus on non-functional characteristics like performance and usability.

Why may several executions be necessary in testing?

  • To discover different types of defects. (correct)
  • To ensure the program meets specifications.
  • To remove the defects found in the initial execution.
  • To check conformance with the customer's real requirements.

What can inspections check conformance with?

  • The customer's real requirements.
  • Non-functional characteristics like performance.
  • The system's design and configuration data. (correct)
  • The usability of the program.
