- CTo meet ISTQB requirements
- DTo meet legal requirements
4How much is enough testing?
- AIt is impossible to say
- BWhen there are no defects remaining in the software
- CIt depends on the level of risk, plus the time and budget available
- DIt depends on the experience of the test team
5The objectives of testing include:
- AFinding defects
- BAssessing the quality of the development process

6Which is the correct statement?
- ADynamic and Static testing are the same thing
- BPositive testing reviews the contents of documents

7What is the relationship between testing and quality?
- AThey are unrelated
- BTesting can improve quality by highlighting software failures

- BEvaluating testability of the test basis
- CWriting test summary reports for stakeholders
- DDesigning the test environment set-up
14Evaluating Exit Criteria and Reporting is best described by:
- AThe activity where test execution is assessed against defined objectives
- BThe activity where general testing objectives are transformed into tangible test conditions and cases
- CThe ongoing activity of comparing progress against the plan and reporting status
