Code Testing Practice Exam

About Code Testing
Code-based testing corresponds to the testing that is carried out on code development, code inspection, unit testing in software development process.

The Code-based testing consists of following testing:
•    Dynamic Testing - Statement coverage, Branch coverage, Path coverage
•    Checking for Complexity of Code using techniques like Cyclomatic Complexity
•    Static Testing - Code Inspection, Code Walkthrough, Code Review, Code Audit

Testing often seems like a pain to developers and a time-consuming job with no actual output except a validation of the development code itself but it is important to realize that testing is as essential for a developer as writing production code.

Why is Code Testing important?
Keeping code clean is incredibly important, especially for vast open source projects. Secondly, tests help increase code stability. If each commit is tested before deploying, it would ensure that the release version is always a stable build and no users are being impacted by buggy developmental code.

Who should take the Code Testing Exam?
•    Software testing or QA professionals
•    Anyone who wants to assess their software testing skills
•    Software testing or QA managers and senior executives
•    Professionals working in outsourced companies responsible for software testing or QA
•    Software testing or QA consultants
•    Students
