ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level v4.0 — Question 14
A number of characteristics are given for impact of SDLC on the testing effort.
i. Finishing of requirements review leading to test analysts
ii. Both - static and dynamic testing performed at unit testing level iii. Frequent regression testing may need to be performed iv. Extensive product documentation v. More use of exploratory testing
Which of the following statements is MOST correct?
Answer options
- A. i, ii and iii are characteristics of sequential models; iv and v are characteristics of iterative and incremental models
- B. iii and iv are characteristics of sequential models; and i, ii and v are characteristics of iterative and incremental models
- C. i and iv are characteristics of sequential models; ii, iii and v are characteristics of iterative and incremental models
- D. ii and iv are characteristics of sequential models; i in and v are characteristics of iterative and incremental models
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C because characteristics i and iv are typically found in sequential models, which follow a linear progression. Meanwhile, characteristics ii, iii, and v are more aligned with iterative and incremental models, which emphasize flexibility and frequent testing, including regression and exploratory testing.
