B. Testers and reviewers are not qualified enough to find failures and faults.
C. Testers and reviewers communicate defects as criticism against persons and not against the software product.
D. Testers and reviewers expect that defects in the software product have already been found and fixed by the developers.

Q. 887: Which of the following statements are TRUE?
A. Software testing may be required to meet legal or contractual requirements.
B. Software testing is mainly needed to improve the quality of the developer�s work.
C. Rigorous testing and fixing of defects found can help reduce the risk of problems occurring in an operational environment.
D. Rigorous testing is sometimes used to prove that all failures have been found.
A. B and C are true; A and D are false.
B. A and D are true; B and C are false.

Q. 888: Which of the following statements BEST describes the difference between testing and debugging?
A. Testing pinpoints (identifies the source of) the defects. Debugging analyzes the faults and proposes prevention activities.
B. Dynamic testing shows failures caused by defects. Debugging finds, analyzes, and removes the causes of failures in the software.
C. Testing removes faults. Debugging identifies the causes of failures.
D. Dynamic testing prevents causes of failures. Debugging removes the failures.

Q. 890: What is important to do when working with software development models? [K1]
A. To adapt the models to the context of project and product characteristics.
B. To choose the waterfall model because it is the first and best proven model.
C. To start with the V-model and then move to either iterative or incremental models.
D. To only change the organization to fit the model and not vice versa.
