Which of the following defects is most likely to be found by a test harness?

1. A. Variance from programming standards.
2. B. A defect in middleware.
3. C. Memory leaks.
4. D. Regression defects.

Correct Answer: B
Variance from programming standards defects (option (A)) are found during the review or static testing process. Therefore a test harness is unlikely to find a defect in programming standards.
Memory leak defects (option (C)) could potentially be found by a test harness designed to run many test cases. Regression defects (option (D)) could be found using many types of test tool.
Defects in middleware (option (B)) are generally more likely to be found by a test harness or a dynamic analysis tool than by any other type of tool.

A new system is about to be developed. Which of the following functions has the highest level of risk?

1. A. Likelihood of failure = 20%; impact value = £100,000
2. B. Likelihood of failure = 10%; impact value = £150,000
3. C. Likelihood of failure = 1%; impact value = £500,000
4. D. Likelihood of failure = 2%; impact value = £200,000

Correct Answer: A
In (B) the product of probability × impact has the value £15,000; in (C) the value is £5,000 and in (D) it is
£4,000. The value of £20,000 in (A) is therefore the highest.
