Question

You are testing an autonomous vehicle which uses AI to determine proper driving actions and responses. You have evaluated the parameters and combinations to be tested and have determined that there are too many to test in the time allowed. It has been suggested that you use pairwise testing to limit the parameters. Given the complexity of the software under test, what is likely the outcome from using pairwise testing?

Options

  • AThe number of parameters to test can be reduced to less than a dozen.
  • BAll high priority defects will be identified using this method.
  • CWhile the number of tests needed can be reduced, there may still be a large enough set of tests
  • DPairwise cannot be applied to this problem because there is AI involved and the evolving values

Explanation

The syllabus states that while pairwise testing is effective at finding defects by reducing the number of test cases needed, the resulting test suite can still be extensive and require "Even the use of pairwise testing can result in extensive test suites... automation and virtual test environments often become necessary to allow the required tests to be run."
