                                    testing?
                                  (i)   Popularity      (ii) Time        (iii) Criticality         (iv) Software

                          5.6   Review Questions
                           1.   Justify when a bug is considered to be due to configuration related problems.
                           2.   Do you believe that Configuration testing  has to encompass all components manufactured  by
                               third party manufacturer? Why so?
                           3.   Do you believe that equivalence partitioning the hardware brings efficiency in configuration
                               testing? Justify.
                           4.   Do you believe that GUI testing can enhance the product’s usability? What are the different levels
                               in which GUI can be carried out?
                           5.   Assume that you have been assigned the task of testing a web based application. What would be
                               the main traits you look forward while testing the GUI?

                           6.   Can a software product be released with a configuration bug? Explain.
                           7.   “The GUI has become a de facto standard for user interface in most of the modern technologies.”
                               How would you justify this?
                           8.   “Configuration testing ensures that the software works perfectly fine with the various hardware
                               configurations. “ How would you guarantee the same?
                           9.   Does testing takes care of specialized software developed for specially challenged people (people
                               with disabilities)? How, in your opinion, is it necessary in today’s context?
                           10.  When do you think that a software product is designed badly? List out the possible user interface
                               errors in the software product.
