Software Testing Assignment

[Link] one of the following types of program models is normally used to design the
integration test plan? (Remembering)
a) CFG
b) DFD
c) Structure chart
d) State chart

2. After a program has been modified, which one of the following options characterizes the
regression test cases: (Remembering)

a) All test cases


b) Test cases that execute the modified statements
c) Test cases that execute the affected or modified statements
d) Test cases that execute the unaffected statements

[Link] in order to estimate the number of latent errors in a program, you seed it with 100
errors of different kinds. After testing the software using its full test suite, you discover only
80 of the introduced errors. You discover 16 other errors also. Estimate the number of latent
errors in the software. (Creating)
a) 4
b) 8
c) 16
d) 20
● Explanation: Using the formula n * [(S − s) / s] for latent errors i.e.
where n = 16, S = 100 and s = 80, we get the answer as 4.
4. A function named compute-electricity-bill was written to compute the electricity bill by an
electricity distribution company. This function takes two parameters, the number of units
consumed by a customer and the corresponding customer type. The customer type is an
integer value in the range 1 to 5 indicating whether the customer is domestic, industrial,
commercial establishment, etc. The tariff depends not only the customer type, but also on the
number of units consumed. The slabs for different charges based on the units consumed are 0
to 100 units, 100 to 200 units, 200 to 500 units, and 500 units and above. How many test
cases are required for weak equivalence class test testing of the function
compute-electricity-bill ? (Remembering)
a) 4
b) 5
c) 8
d) 10
Explanation: There are many possible ways to find the test cases.
4. For the function compute-electricity-bill described in question 4 above, at least how many
test cases are required for strong equivalence class testing of the function ? (Remembering)
a) 10
b) 11
c) 20
d) 21
Explanation: All the 20 cells describe a test case required for strong
equivalence class testing.

5. For the function compute-electricity-bill described in question 4 above, at least how many
test cases are required for strong robust equivalence class testing?
a) 25
b) 26
c) 30
d) 31
Explanation: Similar to the above

6. Suppose a certain function takes 5 Integer input parameters. The valid values for each
parameter forms a range of integer values. What is the minimum number of test cases
required for boundary value testing?
a) 10
b) 11
c) 20
d) 21
Explanation: Using the formula (4n + 1) for n independent variables,
where n = 5, we get 21.

[Link] a function implementing the following policy for awarding merit cum means
scholarship to the students. No students would be considered for the scholarship if he is in
receipt of any other scholarship or if he is having a backlog in any subject. Further, the
parental income must be less than 1Lakh rupees per year and the student’s current CGPA
must be at least 7. However, a student with parental income upto Rs. 2 Lakhs may be awarded
the scholarship, if his/her current CGPA is at least 8. At least how many test cases are required
for conditional testing?
a) 6
b) 7
c) 8
d) 9
Explanation:
The given 7 test cases are enough for condition testing.
The first column shows that if a student is a recipient of any other
scholarship then he will not will be considered for scholarship
irrespective of any other condition. Similarly, the second column says
that if a student is having a backlog then irrespective of other values,
he will not be considered for scholarship. Thus, all the 7 test cases are
generated using the similar approach. The dashes can be considered to
be don't cares and Y represent true and N represent false.
8. If a user interface has three checkboxes, at least how many test cases are required to achieve
Pairwise coverage?
a) 3
b) 4
c) 5
d) 6
Explanation: If we use the following test cases:
(000), (010), (101), (111) , all pairs of check boxes can be covered.
9. Consider the function find-intersection(m1,c1,m2,c2) that computes the point of
intersection of two straight lines of the form y=mx+c. For equivalence class testing, at the first
level of the equivalent class hierarchy the valid and invalid equivalence classes can be formed.
The valid set of input values can be further divided into how many equivalence classes?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
Explanation: The three equivalence classes are the following:
• Parallel lines (m1=m2, c1≠c2)
• Intersecting lines (m1≠m2)
• Coincident lines (m1=m2, c1=c2)

Regression test cases are characterized by test cases that execute the affected or modified statements, as these ensure any new defects introduced due to changes are detected .

Conditional testing for scholarship eligibility requires 7 test cases, accounting for the disqualifying conditions (e.g., receipt of other scholarships and backlogs) and different combinations of CGPA and parental income criteria, ensuring all logic branches and conditions are checked .

The structure chart is typically used to design the integration test plan because it provides a hierarchical representation of the software's structure, highlighting module interdependencies and facilitating a pathway for integration testing .

To achieve pairwise coverage for a user interface with three checkboxes, at least four test cases are required: (000), (010), (101), and (111). These test cases cover all combinations of two checkboxes being checked or unchecked, ensuring interaction coverage .

Strong equivalence class testing requires at least 20 test cases because it involves creating test cases for all combinations of equivalence classes, ensuring comprehensive coverage of interactions among input variables .

For weak equivalence class testing of the compute-electricity-bill function, 8 test cases are required. This is determined by identifying classes based on each condition such as customer type and unit slabs, ensuring each class has at least one test case .

The formula (4n + 1) is used to determine the number of test cases for boundary value testing of a function with n independent variables. This formula accounts for upper and lower bounds testing, including an additional test case for nominal behavior .

Boundary value testing requires 21 test cases for a function with 5 integer input parameters because it covers the boundaries of each parameter, computed using the formula (4n + 1) for n independent variables .

The estimation of latent errors can be achieved using the formula n * [(S − s) / s], where n is the number of new errors found, S is the number of seeded errors, and s is the detected seeded errors. Using this, we calculate: 16 * [(100 - 80) / 80] = 4 latent errors .

The valid input values for the function find-intersection can be divided into three equivalence classes: parallel lines (m1=m2, c1≠c2), intersecting lines (m1≠m2), and coincident lines (m1=m2, c1=c2). These classes distinguish different geometric scenarios of line intersections .
