Which pair of definitions is correct?

1. A. Regression testing is checking that the reported defect has been fixed; retesting is testing that there are no additional problems in previously tested software.
2. B. Regression testing is checking there are no additional problems in previously tested software; retesting enables developers to isolate the problem.
3. C. Regression testing involves running all tests that have been run before; retesting runs new tests.
4. D. Regression testing is checking that there are no additional problems in previously tested software, retesting is demonstrating that the reported defect has been fixed.

Correct Answer: D
Regression testing is testing that nothing has regressed. Retesting (or confirmation testing) confirms the fix is correct by running the same test after the fix has been made. No other option has both of these as true.

Which of the following statements are true?
(i) Defects are likely to be found earlier in the development process by using reviews rather than static analysis.
(ii) Walkthroughs require code but static analysis does not require code.
(iii) Informal reviews can be performed on code and specifications.
(iv) Dynamic techniques are generally used before static techniques.
(v) Dynamic techniques can only be used after code is ready to be executed.

1. A. (i), (ii), (vi).
2. B. (ii), (iii), (v).
3. C. (i), (iv), (v).
4. D. (i), (iii), (v).

Correct Answer: D
The other answers are incorrect because:
(ii) Walkthroughs do not require code and static analysis does require code.
(iv) Static techniques do not execute the code and therefore can be run before and after the code is ready for execution.
