b.

The utilities tested produced faults or crashed

c.

The utilities tested produced no crashes

d.

None of the above

Discuss
Answer: (b).The utilities tested produced faults or crashed Explanation:Miller et al. were able to crash or hang approximately 30% of the UNIX utilities in their experiment.
Q352.
What was the result of the mutation analysis experiment by Knight and Ammann?

a.

The seeded faults were found quickly in all programs

b.

The seeded faults were found after 25,000 tests

c.

Some seeded faults remained undetected

d.

None of the above

Discuss
Answer: (c).Some seeded faults remained undetected Explanation:Some seeded faults remained undetected even after 25,000 tests in the experiment by Knight and Ammann.
Q353.
How was the experiment by Knight and Ammann conducted?

a.

On a single program

b.

On 17 programs

c.

On 7 programs

d.

On 2 programs

Discuss
Answer: (b).On 17 programs Explanation:17 programs developed by different programmers from one and the same specification were used in the experiment by Knight and Ammann.
Q354.
What is the main purpose of test adequacy criteria?

a.

To crash a system

b.

To determine the best test technique

c.

To determine when testing can be terminated

d.

To obtain a deeper insight into the properties of test techniques

Discuss
Answer: (c).To determine when testing can be terminated Explanation:Test adequacy criteria serve as rules used to determine whether or not testing can be terminated.
Q355.
What is the focus of the research on the theoretical aspects of test techniques?

a.

To determine the best test technique

b.

To crash a system

c.

To gain a deeper insight into properties of different test techniques

d.

To determine when testing can be terminated

Discuss
Answer: (c).To gain a deeper insight into properties of different test techniques Explanation:This type of research is aimed at gaining a deeper insight into properties of different test techniques.
Q356.
What is the definition of "stronger" when comparing test adequacy criteria?

a.

Criteria X is stronger than Criteria Y if X-adequacy is the same as Y-adequacy for all programs P and test sets T

b.

Criteria X is stronger than Criteria Y if X-adequacy is the weaker than Y-adequacy for all programs P and test sets T

c.

Criteria X is stronger than Criteria Y if X-adequacy implies Y-adequacy for all programs P and test sets T

d.

Criteria X is stronger than Criteria Y if X-adequacy is the stronger than Y-adequacy for all programs P and test sets T

Discuss
Answer: (c).Criteria X is stronger than Criteria Y if X-adequacy implies Y-adequacy for all programs P and test sets T Explanation:The definition of "stronger" as "criterion X is stronger than criterion Y if, for all programs P and all test sets T, X-adequacy implies Y-adequacy."
Q357.
What is the relationship between the All-Edges and All-Nodes adequacy criteria?

a.

All-Edges is weaker than All-Nodes

b.

All-Edges is equal to All-Nodes

c.

All-Edges is stronger than All-Nodes

d.

None of the above

Discuss
Answer: (c).All-Edges is stronger than All-Nodes Explanation:The All-Edges criterion is stronger than (subsumes) the All-Nodes criterion.
Q358.
Is the All-Uses criterion stronger than the All-Nodes criterion?

a.

Yes

b.

No

c.

May be Yes or No

d.

Can't say

Discuss
Answer: (b).No Explanation:All-Uses criterion is not stronger than the All-Nodes criterion due to the fact that programs may contain statements which only refer to constants.
Q359.
Does the subsume relation of the criteria imply better fault-detection ability?

a.

Yes

b.

No

c.

May be Yes or No

d.

Can't say

Discuss
Answer: (b).No Explanation:The subsume relation compares the thoroughness of test techniques, not their ability to detect faults and the subsume relations do not necessarily imply better fault detection.
Q360.
What is the first property of test adequacy criteria according to Weyuker (1988)?

a.

Non-exhaustive applicability property

b.

Inadequate empty set property

c.

Monotonicity property

d.

Applicability property

Discuss
Answer: (d).Applicability property Explanation:The first property of test adequacy criteria according to Weyuker (1988) is the "Applicability property" which states that for every program, there exists an adequate test set.
