01. 1. According to ISTQB Syllabus, A human being can make (A), which produces (B) in the program
code, or in a document. Which of the following combination is correct?...

A- Fault, B- Mistake
A- Fault, B- Error
A- Defect, B- Bug
A- Error, B- Fault

02. Which of following is NOT correct regarding of Testing and Quality?..

Testing can give confidence in the quality of the software if it finds few or no defect.
A properly designed test that passes reduces the overall level of risk in a system.
Testing should not be integrated as one of the quality assurance activities for independent.
By understanding the root cause of defects found in other project, testing processes can be
improved.

03. 3. As a test leader you are collecting measures about defects. You recognize that after the first test
cycle – covering all requirements – subsystem C has a defect density that 150% higher than the average.
Subsystem A on the other hand has a defect density that is 60% lower than the average. What conclusions
for the next test cycle could you draw from this fact?..[K3]

According to the testing principle “defect clustering” it is probable that subsystem C has still
more hidden defects. Therefore we need to test subsystem C in more detail.
We focus testing on subsystem A, because we have found fewest defects in that module so far.
Because we have already found many defects in subsystem C we do not need to test it much
more.
Observed defect density does not allow any conclusions about the amount of additional testing.

software applications running on mobile phone for 5 years. He has great deal of information for testing the
applications and is able to test faster than anyone else. However, he has not put sufficient efforts for
deriving new test cases and modifying them to find new defects any longer, which led to finding less and

Defect clustering

four different kinds of accommodation with different ticket prices: Hard seat, soft seat, hard sleeper, and

bathroom. High-speed trains exist, but have only hard and soft seat, and they have another price than “
normal” trains.
