4. What is the
difference
between
verification
and
validation?
Verification is checking that the software
meets the requirements, while validation is
checking that the software works correctly
Verification is checking that the software
works correctly, while validation is checking
that the software meets the requirements
Verification and validation are the same
thing
Verification and validation are not important
in software testing

5. What is the
difference
between
verification
and
validation?
Verification is checking that the software meets
the requirements, while validation is checking that
the software works correctly
Verification is checking that the software works
correctly, while validation is checking that the
software meets the requirements
Verification and validation are the same thing
Verification and validation are not important in
software testing
Answer: Verification is checking that the software
meets the requirements, while validation is
checking that the software works correctly

6. What is the
purpose of
test cases?

process
To provide a set of instructions
for testing the software

10. What is the
difference
between
functional and
non-functional
testing?
Functional testing checks that the software
meets the requirements, while non-functional
testing checks that the software works correctly
Functional testing checks that the software works
correctly, while non-functional testing checks that
the software meets the requirements
Functional testing and non-functional testing are
the same thing
d) Functional testing and non-functional testing
are not important in software testing

11. What is the
difference
between
functional and
non-functional
testing?
Functional testing checks that the software
meets the requirements, while non-functional
testing checks that the software works correctly
Functional testing checks that the software works
correctly, while non-functional testing checks that
the software meets the requirements
Functional testing and non-functional testing are
the same thing
Functional testing and non-functional testing are
not important in software testing

Testing where the
tester knows the
internal workings
of the software
1
Testing where the
tester does not

Testing where the
software is tested
in isolation from
other components
3
Testing where the
software is tested
in a live
environment
