Identify THREE main benefits of using systematic test design techniques within this company. 2 credits (for 2 out of 3 correct 1 credit)

A. Targets certain types of faults

B. Easier to quickly adapt testing to changing requirements compared to experienced- based testing

C. Will reduce the need for early reviews

D. More enhanced documentation and therefore higher repeatability and reproducibility

E. Provides a way to differentiate depth of testing based on product risks by using different techniques

F. Will guide experienced testers to find defects

G. Will make non-systematic testing redundant

Correct Answer: A,D,E

Question 2

Question 4

During the development of a software change for a system, the developer makes a mistake in his work, which leads to a fault in the code. Unfortunately the fault is not found by software testing and is released into live.
