What are the characteristics of a unit test that are defined with the acronym FIRST?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

FIRST Acronym in Unit Testing:

Fast: Unit tests should execute quickly.

Isolated: They should run independently of other tests.

Repeatable: Tests should yield consistent results under the same conditions.

Self-validating: Results should indicate a pass or fail automatically.

Thorough: Each test should comprehensively cover the targeted functionality.

Analyzing the Options:

A: Incorrect terms such as 'Iterative' and 'Tolerant' are unrelated to unit tests.

C: Includes terms like 'Recorded' and 'Source-controlled,' which do not align with FIRST.

D: Terms like 'Immediate' and 'Transparent' are unrelated to unit testing principles.


Aligned with ISTQB Agile Technical Tester syllabus defining unit test characteristics using the FIRST acronym.
