STEPS TO BE FALLOWED for preparation 2

NOW START Preparing K2 concepts

STEP 1 chapter 4 K2 :

• Differentiate between a test design specification,a test case specification and a test procedure specification 
• compare the terms test condition,test case and test procedure
• Evaluate the quality of  test cases,Do they:                                                                                            -show clear traceability to the requirements;                                                                            -contain an expected result;
• Explain the characteristics and difference between specification-based testing,structure-based testing and experience-based testing 
• Understand the main purpose of each of the four technique , what level and type of testing could use the technique,and how coverage may be measured 
• Understand the concept of use case testing and its benefits
• Describe the concept and importance of code coverage
• Explain the concepts of statement and decision coverage and understand that these concepts can also be used at other test levels than component testing 
• Compare experience-based techniques with specification-based testing technique                                                                   

STEP 2 chapter 5 K2 :

• List the benefits and drawbacks of independent testing within an organization 
• Summarize the purpose and content of the test plane ,test design specification and test procedure documents according to the Standard for Software Test Documentation [IEEE 829]
• Differentiate between standard conceptually different test approaches such as analytical ,model-based ,methodical,,process/standard compliant ,dynamic/heuristic,consultative and regression adverse.
• Differentiate between the subject of test planning for a system and for scheduling test execution 
• Differentiate between two conceptually different estimation approaches the metrics based approach and the expert-based approach
• Recognize/justify adequate exit criteria for specific test levels and groups of test cases 
• Understand and interpret test metrics for test reporting and test control
• Summarize the purpose and content of test summary report document according to [IEEE 829]
• Summarize how configuration management support testing 
• Describe a risk as a possible that would threaten the achievement of one or more stackeholders project objectives
• Distinguish between the project and product risk
• Describe,using example, how risk analysis and risk management may be used for test planning

STEP 3 chapter 1 K2:

• Describe the importance and value of considering static techniques for the assessment of software work products 
• Explain the difference between static and dynamic techniques
• Describe the objective of static analysis and reviews and compare it to dynamic testing 

STEP 4 chapter 2 K2:

• Understand the relationship between development,test activities and work products in the development life cycle and given examples based on project characteristics and contexts
• Compare the different levels of testing :major objectives ,typical objectives of testing,typical targets of testing 
• Compare four software test types
• Identify and describe non-functional test type based on non-functional requirements 
• Identify and describe test types based on the analysis of a software system 's structure or architecture
• Describe the purpose of confirmation testing and regression testing 
• Compare maintenance testing to testing a new application with respect to test types ,triggers for testing and amount of testing 
• Identify reasons for maintenance testing 
• Describe the role of regression testing and impact analysis in maintenance

STEP 5 chapter 6 K2:

• Classify different types of test tools according to the test process activities 
• Recognize that test execution tools can have different scripting techniques,including data-driven and keyword-driven 

STEP 6 chapter 3 K2:

• Describe the importance and value of considering static technique for the assessment of software work products
• Explain the difference between static and dynamic techniques
• Describe the objectives of static analysis and reviews and compare it to dynamic testing 
• Explain the difference between different types of review :informal review,technical review,,walkthrough and inspection 
• Explain the factors for successful performance of reviews 

     SO here if you all fallow diz steps from 1 to 6 surely you can cover 12 questions out of 40

therefore here K1+K2 together you can cover 20+12=32 questions out of  40 hence your passed with 80% of marks
