Part 7 "Test Process & Incident Management" Which of the following is an example of testing as part of the software design phase? 1 credit [K2]

Question

Options

• AA design review meeting
• BAn architect translating requirements into design
• CPerforming unit tests against design
• DA test log showing code coverage achieved

• A
  95% (21)
• B
  5% (1)

Explanation

A design review meeting (A) exemplifies testing during the design phase because reviews are a form of static testing - they verify artifacts (design documents, models) without executing code, catching defects early while the design is still being shaped.

Why the distractors fail:

• B is the design activity itself (translating requirements), not a testing activity - creation isn't verification.
• C sounds plausible but unit tests run against code, not designs; they belong to the implementation/component testing phase.
• D (code coverage in a test log) is an output of dynamic testing against actual code, placing it firmly in a later phase.

Memory tip: In software testing, the design phase produces documents and models - so testing here means reviewing those documents. If you see "review," "inspection," or "walkthrough," think static testing in early phases. If you see "execute," "run," or "coverage," think dynamic testing in later phases.
