Q1. (a) Good testing involves much more than just running the code a number of times to see if it “works”. Discuss. [10 Marks] (b) In the context of glass-box testing:

1. What does the term path testing refer to? 2. Coverage criteria specify a class of paths that should be tested. Elaborate on each of the following, commonly-used, coverage criteria: (i) Line coverage; (ii) Branch coverage; (iii) Condition coverage. Support your presentation with suitable, illustrative, examples. [15 Marks]

Q2. (a) In the context of reporting bugs in software artefacts, a good report is written, numbered, simple, understandable, reproducible, legible, and non-judgemental. Discuss. [15 Marks]

(b) Software bug reproduction is not always straightforward. There are many reasons why a tester or developer might not be able to achieve immediate bug reproduction. Elaborate on each of the following potential reasons: (i) Race conditions; (ii) Forgotten details; (iii) An effect of the bug makes replication impossible; (iv) The bug is a side-effect of some other problem; (v) Someone has interfered with the tester’s/developer’s work station. [10 Marks]

(c) Every interactive program moves from one visible state to another. A menu system is a simple example. Outline the steps involved in testing an interactive program that uses a menu system. [5 Marks]

Q5. (a) Test documentation facilitates the technical tasks of testing. Discuss. [10 Marks]

(b) Describe, in detail, James Bach’s 1998 “Framework for Good Enough Testing”. [15 Marks]
