End of Round Five
Why?
To make testers ask questions.
My view:
The question was deliberately formed so confusing. Without real question or assignment. So that you would do what you would normally do when given confusing task.
After questioning the missing question that part was revealed – “Which are not true?”
The question itself is a bit weird as those four sentences are not logically true by themselves. More questions should have been asked J
Evil? Yes.
So the missing starts of those sentences are:
Exploration testing is A)
Test Condition is B).
Integration testing is best described as C)
Exploratory testing is D)
And so – which are note true?
Wait for it.
All of them are not true.
The following are the answers :
The first 3 testers came asking what was missing. But just one time.
Tester 1:
These four given points can be formed into two groups: A and C versus B and D.
1) A and C have a dot at the end of the sentence, which B and D do not have.
2) B and D are based mainly on guessing, systematic behavior is minimized.
Tester 2:
All of the answers are incorrect answers from ISTQB Foundation level mock exam.
Depending on the question however one of them might be true. Not knowing the question it is hard to know the correct answer.
Tester 3:
All tasks are part of testing (gathering information about product, possible configurations and weak-spots; setting system to start condition and verifying that this condition is the correct one).
a) A systematic approach to identifying specific equivalent classes of input - it is a task what is part of testing and done firstly after obtaining testing task - true
b) The steps to be taken to get the system to a given point - it is a task what is part of testing and what is done right before testing - true
c) Testing to verify that the test environment can be integrated with the product - it is a task what is part of testing and what is done right before testing - true
d) The process of anticipating or guessing where defects might occur - it is a task what is part of testing and done firstly after obtaining testing task – true
Tester 4:
If I had to choose one of those definitions, it would have to be the one, where the essence of exploratory testing shines through the brightest:
d) The process of anticipating or guessing where defects might occur
Tester 5:
At first there is no instructions what to do with given list.
As tester I can assume that this is a list of test technique descriptions for
a)Equivalence Partitioning
b)State Transitions
c)Integration Testing
d)Bug Hunting.
Tester 6:
All these steps are related with test case designing.
D - Select specific test cases draw on error guessing
A - Identify input values
B - Make test sequences
C - Be confirmed that test cases covers the testing area
Tester 7:
This weeks question requires the question itself. Question could be: Which of the following describes exploratory testing?
Tester 8:
Specifications are needed to perform these actions and use these methods for testing.
