Which of the following statements is true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

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

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

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