You will be invited to a review. The work product to be reviewed is a description of the in-house document
creation process. The aim of the description is to present the work distribution between the different roles
involved in the process in a way that can be clearly understood by everyone.
You will be invited to a checklist-based review. The checklist will also be sent to you. It includes the
following points:
i. Is the person who performs the activity clearly identified for each activity?
ii. Are the entry criteria clearly defined for each activity?
iii. Are the exit criteria clearly defined for each activity?
iv. Are the supporting roles and their scope of work clearly defined for each activity?
In the following we show an excerpt of the work result to be reviewed, for which you should use the
checklist above:
"After checking the customer documentation for completeness and correctness, the software architect
creates the system specification. Once the software architect has completed the system specification, he
invites testers and verifiers to the review. A checklist describes the scope of the review. Each invited
reviewer creates review comments - if necessary - and concludes the review with an official review done-
comment."
Which of the following statements about your review is correct?
a) Point ii) of the checklist has been violated because it is not clear which condition must be fulfilled
to invite to the review
b) You notice that in addition to the tester and the verifier, the validator must also be invited.
Since this item is not part of your checklist, you do not create a corresponding comment
c) Point iii) of the checklist has been violated as it is not clear what marks the review as
completed
d) Point i) of the checklist has been violated because it is not clear who is providing the
checklist for the invitation to the review
Select ONE option.

noted, checked, or remembered, or a set of rules or criteria against which a product must be
verified
d) An approach to testing where the testers dynamically design and execute tests based on their
knowledge, exploration of the test item and the results of previous tests
Select ONE option.
Which one of the following options is categorized as a black-box test technique?

The following statement refers to decision coverage:
“When the code contains only a single ‘if’ statement and no loops or CASE statements, and its
execution is not nested within the test, any single test case we run will result in 50% decision
coverage.”
Which of the following statement is correct?
a) The statement is true. Any single test case provides 100% statement coverage and therefore
50% decision coverage
b) The statement is true. Any single test case would cause the outcome of the “if” statement to be
either true or false

software
