The producer's view of quality is:: Meets Requirements
Quality assurance is: Meant to prevent defects
Quality control is: Product focused
Quality assurance is responsible for all of the following except: Telling technicians how to perform their duties

QA IS responsible for:
Quality planning
measurement and analysis
Facilitation
Quality control techniques may include all the following except:: Defining standards and procedures

QC techniques include:
system testing
integration testing
inspections
To calculate the Cost of Quality you must add all of the following costs except:: Cost to build the product

Cost of quality includes:
Failure costs
appraisal costs
preventive costs
Software testing is: an appraisal of cost of quality
PDCA stands for: Plan, Do, Check, Act
A policy statement answers the question: WHY
We test software for all of the following reasons except:: To Verify run times

We test software to:
reduce risk
validate requirements work
establish confidence that a program works
A successful test function is one that: Is performed throughout the development life cycle
Functional tests validate:: system requirements
White Box testing is used to validate: Program structure
White box testing is normally performed by: Deveoper who wrote the code
The following are white box test techniques except:: Boundary value analysis

White Box test techniques:
Statement coverage
Path Coverage
Conditions
Black box testing is used to validate: business requirements
Black box testing is typically performed by: independent test teams and business users
The following are black box test techniques:: Equivalence portioning and boundary analysis
How much testing is enough: When the cost to detect defects exceeds the potential damage caused by the defect
A test strategy is effective if:: It is likely to mitigate known risks
A test strategy contains two major components:: Risk and issues that need to be adddressed and phase where testing will be conducted
The basic test phrases are: Unit test, integration test, system test, user acceptance test.
Unit testing is: Performed by the developer and validates the structure of one of the program module or component
System testing is: Performed by the test team and validates functional requirements
The "V Model" is a life cycle approach that integrates: Verification and validation techniques
Reviews are conducted for all of the following reasons except:: Evaluate individual performance

Reasons are:
Reduce time to market
To detect defects in the phase where it was introduced into the product
knowledge transfer
Test planning: Improves communication
All of the following are advantages of a structured test plan expect:: Enables you to test on any platform and operating environment

advantages of structured test plan:Identifies what will and will not be tested
Enables one to allocate test resources
Provides a means to report an objective test status
Recovering lost or corrupted data due to a system failure is an example of which cost of quality category: Failure cost
A defect is: A variance for requirements for a variance from customer expectation
True or False The "fit for use" definition of quality is a producer's version of quality: False
True or False one of the fallacies in the software development world is that you can "test" quality into the product: True.. OHHHHHH SOOOOO VERYYYYY TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True or False Quality Assurance is primarily defect detection: False
True or False Prevention costs are not part of the "cost of quality": False
True or False The "P: in the PDCA cycle stands for PREVENT: False
"P" stands for Plan
True or False The policy states the "how" component of a process: False
Policy states the WHY
True or False The actual source code is written in the design phase of the SDLC: False
Construction phase
The waterfall model is one of the most flexible development models: False
True or False Risk is defined as the probability that an unfavorable event will occur that results in loss: True
True or False Functional tests are tests that validate system requirements and business scenarios: True
True or False White-Box testing is a functional testing technique: False
White box testing is structural
True or False Error guessing is a test technique used to validate error checking routines: False
True or False A test charter is management's definition of testing: True
True or False You can never test a program too much: False
True or False User acceptance Testing validates that the system is "fit for use": True
True or False The "V" Model divides the development and test processes into two stages, the specification stage and the test stage: True
True or False Integration tests validate the design: True
True or False Static testing is executing actual code: False
True or False An Inspection is an informal review technique: False
True or False The project plan is the input into the test plan process: True
True or False Both dynamic and static testing is performed during the requirement phase.: False
True or False The primary goal of defect management is to prevent defects: True
True or False Each column or row in a decision table represents an individual test case: True
True or False Stress testing tests the relationship between the developers and the test team: False
True or False Usability is marginally critical for any web application that is seen directly by customers: False
