Questions and Answers

There are many different types of testing that you can use to make sure your code is working as expected. ( Vao Note ma xem)

Match the tiers of testing to the correct definition

Performance Testing = Measuring the latency or throughput of your application or service. Recovery Testing = Tests if the application or system can recover from crashes and how well it recovers. Security Testing = Testing for known vulnerabilities in your service or application. Accessibility Testing = Testing whether the product/software is accessible and usable for everyone, including people with a wide range of disabilities. Functional Testing = Tests that check basic functionality of the application. Integration Testing = Tests if the combined modules work together or not. Acceptance Testing = Tests that focus on the business requirements of an application. Usability Testing = Testing for user friendliness. Privacy Testing = Assessing and mitigating privacy risks in the product.

Software testing is generally classified into two main broad categories: functional testing and non-functional testing.

Match the following types of testing to the correct category:

Unit Testing

Performance Testing

Security Testing

Load Testing

Integration Testing

White Box and Black Box Testing

Stress Testing

Disaster Recovery Testing

Sanity Testing

Usability Testing

Scalability Testing

Unit Testing = Functional Performance Testing = Non-Functional Security Testing = Non-Functional Load Testing = Non-Functional Integration Testing = Functional White Box and Black Box Testing = Functional Stress Testing = Non-Functional Disaster Recovery Testing = Non-Functional Sanity Testing = Non-Functional Usability Testing = Non-Functional Scalability Testing = Non-Functional Signup and view all the answers

Match the test type with its description:

Component Test = Uses white-box testing to check each program function fully. System Test = Focuses on usual business processes and normal workflow. Integration Test = Focuses on interfaces between components. Acceptance Test = Carried out by client using scenarios, supervised by developer. Signup and view all the answers

Match the description with the correct test type:

Performance Test = Simulates key processes under maximum load. Soak/Stress Test = Load increased until system fails. Checks effects of over-load. Integration Test = To test interaction between related components. Acceptance Test = Compares system functionality against agreed-on user requirements. Signup and view all the answers

Match each testing purpose with its corresponding test type:

Component Test = To ensure that each component behaves correctly. System Test = To ensure that the user requirements have been met. Performance Test = To test system performance under maximum expected load. Soak/Stress Test = To ensure that the system is stable over an extended period. Signup and view all the answers

Match the test type with its performance focus:
