Q:

main()

{

float me = 1.1;

double you = 1.1;

if(me==you)

printf("yes");

else

printf("No");

}

A) Yes B) No
C) Both D) Compilation error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) No

Explanation:

For floating point numbers (float, double, long double) the values cannot be predicted exactly. Depending on the number of bytes, the precession with of the value represented varies. Float takes 4 bytes and long double takes 10 bytes. So float stores 0.9 with less precision than long double.

Q:

Which of the following is not a static testing technique?

A) Inspections B) Data flow analysis
C) Error guessing D) Walkthrough
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Error guessing

Explanation:

Static Testing, a software testing technique in which the software is tested without executing the code. This Techniques provide a powerful way to improve the quality and productivity of software development by assisting engineers to recognize and fix their own defects early in the software development process.

 

It has two parts as listed below:

Review - Typically used to find and eliminate errors or ambiguities in documents such as requirements, design, test cases, etc.

Static analysis - The code written by developers are analysed (usually by tools) for structural defects that may lead to defects.

 

In this software is tested without executing the code by doing Review, Walk Through, Inspection or Analysis etc.

 

Hence, Error guessing is not a static software testing technique.

Q:

Define latency, transfer and seek time with respect to disk I/O.

Answer

Seek time is the time required to move the disk arm to the required track. Rotational delay or latency is the time it takes for the beginning of the required sector to reach the head. Sum of seek time (if any) and latency is the access time. Time taken to actually transfer a span of data is transfer time.
