ISQI Certified Tester Foundation Level — Question 1

Test objectives for systems testing of a safety critical system include completion of all outstanding defect correction. Regression testing is required following defect correction at all test levels. Which TWO of the following metrics would be MOST suitable for determining whether the test objective has been met? a. Regression tests run and passed in systems testing b. Incidents closed in systems testing c. Planned tests run and passed in system testing d. Planned tests run and passed at all levels of testing e. Incidents raised and closed at all levels of testing

Answer options

• A. a and e
• B. b and c
• C. d and e
• D. a and b A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, which includes 'regression tests run and passed in systems testing' and 'incidents raised and closed at all levels of testing.' These metrics effectively measure both the success of regression testing and the resolution of defects, ensuring that testing objectives are met. The other options do not encompass both essential aspects of defect resolution and regression testing completion.
