Non-functional testing includes testing of both technical and non-technical quality characteristics. Non-functional testing is the process of testing the quality attributes of a system, such as performance, usability, security, reliability, etc. Non-functional testing can be applied at any test level and can use both black-box and white-box test techniques. Non-functional testing can cover both technical aspects, such as response time, throughput, resource consumption, etc., and non-technical aspects, such as user satisfaction, accessibility, compliance, etc. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

I thought functional tests required more technical skills, but maybe not!

B is spot on, non-functional testing covers a lot of ground.

I disagree with C, non-functional testers need skills too!

Wait, ISO/IEC 25010 for white-box tests? That sounds off.

A is definitely true, functional testing is all about what the system does.

I don't think the ISO/IEC 25010 standard is specifically about white-box testing techniques; it seems more focused on quality characteristics instead.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like functional testers usually need more technical skills, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think non-functional testing does cover both technical and non-technical aspects, like performance and usability. That sounds right to me.

I remember functional testing is about what the system does, but I'm not sure if non-functional testing really focuses on internal structure.

The wording of these options is tripping me up a bit. I'll need to take my time and really analyze each one to make sure I understand the nuances.

Option B sounds like the most comprehensive answer, covering both technical and non-technical quality characteristics. I'll go with that unless I spot something that clearly contradicts it.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the distinction between functional and non-functional testing. I'll need to review my notes to refresh my memory on the definitions.

This question seems straightforward, I'll read through the options carefully and try to identify the key differences between functional and non-functional testing.

Haha, D is so far off. Automating with a GUI tool? That's not what these techniques are about at all!

A) Experience-based test techniques rely on the experience of testers to identify the root causes of defects found by black-box test techniques

A sounds reasonable, but I'd go with C. Finding hidden defects is a key strength of experience-based testing.

D is just plain wrong. Automating test cases is not the primary goal of experience-based techniques.

B seems off to me. Isn't the test basis for white-box testing things like code, data structures, and control flow?
VI

Yes, you are correct. White-box testing typically focuses on code, data structures, and control flow.

I think C is the correct answer. Experience-based techniques can uncover hidden defects that black-box testing may miss.
TE
