2. What is Quality Assurance (QA) about?
Question 2A. Finding bugs in individual code unitsB. Verifying that components work togetherC. Making sure the standards and output of processes or solutions meet customer satisfactionD. Checking the speed of database queriesE. Deploying code to production
3. Which stage of testing checks individual parts?
Question 3A. User Acceptance TestingB. System Integration TestingC. Quality AssuranceD. Unit TestingE. Regression Testing
4. Which stage of testing ensures the solution meets user requirements?
Question 4A. Unit TestingB. System Integration TestingC. Performance TestingD. Smoke TestingE. User Acceptance Testing
5. In the example of a table with a million rows of country names, what would QA catch that testing might not?
Question 5A. Inconsistent spellings of country names or non-uniform data formatsB. That some rows are missingC. That the table has the wrong number of columnsD. That the query runs too slowlyE. That the server ran out of disk space
6. According to the comparison of testing and QA, what do many project failures result from?
Question 6A. Insufficient unit testingB. Poor QA processes rather than bad testingC. Too much user acceptance testingD. Over-reliance on automated testsE. Late delivery of hardware
7. Why does data quality become especially crucial in the era of unstructured data?
Question 7A. Because unstructured data is always smaller in volumeB. Because unstructured data never contains errorsC. Because numerous checks and fixes are needed, and if end-users cannot trust the data, having it becomes pointlessD. Because unstructured data does not need testingE. Because regulators forbid unstructured data
8. What is described as the ultimate factor for a successful implementation?

Question 9A. QA replaces testing once a project goes liveB. Testing is more important than QA for any systemC. QA is only needed for unstructured dataD. Testing and QA are the same activity under different namesE. Testing finds bugs, while QA ensures the solution meets the standards and quality expected by users
