Discuss ISQI CTFL_Syll2018 Exam Topic 6 Question 85

Which of the following statements is true?

ARegression testing is a technique for system testing and acceptance testing only.

BRegression testing can be used in any level of testing, but must be done after white-box testing has been finished.

CRegression testing is an alternative term for re-testing

DRegression testing is intended to find side-effects after changes have been applied to the system under test.

Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C, as it describes a benefit of test automation.Test automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests, the comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes, the setting up of test preconditions, and other test control and test reporting functions1.Test automation can have many benefits, such as reduction in repetitive manual work1.This can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of testing by saving time, effort, and resources1. Option A is incorrect, as it does not describe a benefit of test automation, but a factor that influences the selection of test automation tools.Availability of the test automation tool vendor is a factor that affects the availability and support of the tool, which may affect the success of test automation1. Option B is incorrect, as it does not describe a benefit of test automation, but a misconception.Negligible effort to maintain the test assets generated by the tool is not true, as test automation requires regular maintenance and update of the test scripts, data, and expected results to cope with changes in the software under test1. Option D is incorrect, as it does not describe a benefit of test automation, but a drawback.More subjective assessment is not a benefit, as test automation may introduce bias and errors in the test results due to human factors such as lack of skills, knowledge, or experience1.

Yeah, it should be done after white-box testing, that's how I learned it!

Lonna 11 months ago

Wait, isn't regression testing just re-testing? I'm confused.

Stephaine 11 months ago

Totally agree, it's all about finding side effects after changes.

Graciela 11 months ago

I thought it was just for system testing, but I guess not.

Shenika 11 months ago

Regression testing is definitely for all levels of testing!

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think D makes the most sense since it's about ensuring changes didn't break anything.

Annita 12 months ago

I feel like I confused regression testing with re-testing before, so C could be a trick option.

Christoper 12 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about regression testing being applicable at different levels, which might relate to B.

I think regression testing is more about checking for side effects after changes, so maybe D is correct?

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. I don't have much experience with the different security plugins. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

Bobbie 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. For an App Engine deployment, I can create a new version for each update and use traffic splitting to gradually roll it out. That way, I can test the new version with a small subset of users before fully deploying it. Option A looks like the right choice here.

Jannette 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between the two statements. I'll need to think through the GROUP BY clause and how that affects the output.

Kenny 1 year ago

Ha! Option B is just plain wrong. Configuration management tools are essential for testing to ensure consistent and reproducible test environments.

Cristal 1 year ago

Option C is too narrow. Test management tools are used by both managers and testers to plan, execute, and track testing activities.
