Which of the following best describes an acceptance test?
AA test that measures the speed of database queries
BA test that checks the software's memory usage
CA test that verifies the software's internal logic
DA test that validates software against user requirements
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Define acceptance test characteristics

    Acceptance tests confirm the software works as expected for the user or business needs.

  2. Step 2: Match options to acceptance test definition

  3. Final Answer:

    A test that validates software against user requirements -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Acceptance test = Validate user requirements [OK]
Quick Trick: Acceptance tests focus on user needs, not technical metrics [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing acceptance tests with performance tests
  • Assuming acceptance tests check internal code
