1. Automated tests allow better statements of confidence about the quality of software products than manually executed test
2. Exhaustive testing of software is, with sufficient effort and tool support feasible for all software
3. For a software system, it is normally impossible to test all input/output combinations
4. The purpose of testing is demonstrating the absence of defects

2. As a test leader you are collecting measure about defects. You recognize that after the first test cycle-covering all requirements – subsystem hat a defect density that is 150% higher than the average. Subsystem A on the other hand has a defect density that is 60% lower than average. What conclusion for the next test cycle could you draw from this fact?

1. We focus testing ob subsystem A, because we have found fewest defects in that module so far
2. Because we are already found many defects in subsystem C we do not need to test is much more
3. Observed defect density does not allow any conclusion about the amount of additional testing
4. According to the testing principle “defect clustering” it is probable that subsystem C has till more hidden defects. Therefore we need to test subsystem C in more detail
