b) Syntax errors
c) Exceptions
d) Application shut down

Answer: b
Explanation: The term syntax refers to the set of rules you must follow when using a
programming language. A syntax error occurs when you break one of the language’s
rules. Most syntax errors are a result of typing errors that occur when entering the
instructions, such as typing Me.cle() instead of Me.close(). The code editor detects
most of the syntax errors as you enter the instructions.

A __________ occurs while forgetting to enter an instruction, or entering the

instruction in wrong order.
a) Logical errors
b) Syntax errors

Answer: a
Explanation: Logical errors are much more difficult to find because they are not
detected by the code editor. A logical error can occur for a variety of reasons such as
forgetting to enter an instruction or entering the instruction in wrong order. Some
logical errors occur as a result of calculation statements that are correct syntactically
but incorrect mathematically.

nature of a project or system planning.

Which of the below testing is executed without documentation and planning

is known as?

A. Regression Testing

B. Adhoc Testing

C. Unit Testing

D. None of the above

Answer: (b) Adhoc testing

Explanation: Whenever we have to randomly check the application without following

any sequence or procedure, we do one round of Adhoc testing. Since the user doesn't
know how to use the application, they may use it randomly and find some issues.
Adhoc testing is also known as negative testing because we test the application
against the client's requirements.
Which of the below testing is related to black-box testing?

A. Boundary value analysis

B. Code path analysis

C. Basic path testing

D. None of the above

Answer: (a) Boundary value analysis

Explanation: The Black box testing is testing where we examine the software's
functionality without looking into its internal structure or coding. And the boundary
value analysis is used to test boundary values as the input values near the boundary
have higher chances of error. And it is one of the widely used case design techniques
for black-box testing.

Which of the following testing is also called Acceptance testing?

A. Beta testing

B. White-box testing

C. Grey box testing

D. Alpha testing

Answer: (a) Beta testing

Explanation: The user acceptance testing is done once the application is bug-free
because no customer accepts the application blindly before using it. Hence, they
perform one round of testing for their satisfaction. And Beta testing is one essential
part of Acceptance Testing, which is performed before releasing the software.
-------- testing is used to check the code?

A. Grey box testing

B. Black box testing
C. White-box testing
D. Red box testing

Answer: (c) White-Box testing

Explanation: The white box testing is testing where the developer will test every line
of the program's code. To perform the white box testing, his/her aware of
programming skills to design test cases.

When we have to stop the testing?

a. The faults have been fixed

b. All the tests run

c. The time completed

d. The risk is resolved

Answer: (d) The risk is resolved.

Explanation: Once the application's functionality is stable, the risk is resolved, when
the time is less, we test the necessary features, and when the essential feature itself
is not working correctly, we can stop the testing.

---------- are those software mistakes that occurred during the coding phase?

a. Defects

b. Failures

c. Errors

d. Bugs

Answer: (d) Bugs

Explanation: The Bug is the informal name of defects, which means that software or
application is not working as per the requirement. The bug occurred when developers
made any mistake or error while developing the product. And the bug had various
names in different companies such as error, issues, problem, fault, mistake, etc.

Which of the following is not a valid software testing technique?

a. Inspections

b. Data flow analysis

c. Error guessing

d. Walkthrough

Answer: (c) Error guessing

Explanation: Error guessing is a technique in which there is no specific method for

identifying the error. It completely depends on the tester and type of experience in
the previous testing involvements because it does not follow any method and
guidelines. The error guessing technique deals with all possible errors that cannot be
identified as informal testing.

What is component testing?

a. White-box testing

b. Grey box testing

c. Black box testing

d. Both a & c

Answer: (a) White box testing

Explanation: The component testing is based on an application's inner workings and

revolves around internal structure testing. And the developer performs the white box/
component testing because the developer has the internal knowledge of the
application.
