💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing an approach that tests the whole system instead of parts.

The code sets the testing approach to 'Unit', which is a common starting point for testing small parts of code.

Complete the code to check if the testing strategy includes automation.

Testing Fundamentals

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'manual' which is the opposite of automation.

The code checks if the strategy is 'automation' to decide the testing method.

Fix the error in the code that decides the testing approach based on input.

Testing Fundamentals

def choose_approach(input):
    if input == '[1]':
        return 'Exploratory Testing'
    else:
        return 'Other Testing'

print(choose_approach('exploratory'))

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using capitalized or uppercase strings that don't match input.

The input is lowercase 'exploratory', so the comparison must match exactly to avoid errors.

4fill in blank

Fill both blanks to create a test plan dictionary with approach and priority.

Testing Fundamentals

test_plan = {
    'approach': '[1]',
    'priority': '[2]'
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing approach and priority values.

The test plan uses 'Risk-based' approach and sets priority to 'High' to focus on important tests.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a function that returns a testing strategy summary.

Testing Fundamentals

def strategy_summary(approach, level, focus):
    return {
        'approach': [1],
        'level': [2],
        'focus': [3]
    }

summary = strategy_summary('Exploratory', 'Medium', 'User Experience')
print(summary)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Cfocus

DExploratory

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using keys as values or vice versa.

The function returns a dictionary with keys 'approach', 'level', and 'focus'. The values are passed as arguments, here 'Exploratory', 'Medium', and 'User Experience'.
