What is the role of CRUD testing in verifying data entities?

To ensure that all four basic data operations function correctly and maintain data integrity

To test the user interface of the application

To verify that the database is normalized

To test the system's backup and recovery procedures

What is the main benefit of using equivalence partitioning in test design?

It eliminates the need for boundary value analysis

It guarantees that all defects in the system are found

It reduces the number of test cases while still providing effective coverage of input and output domains

It ensures that all possible input values are tested exactly once

What is a common source for identifying test scenarios?

User stories, use cases, and business processes

What is the trade-off when increasing the strength of combinatorial testing from 2-wise to 3-wise?

The test cases are more likely to find defects, but only for simple systems

The test cases become more complex and harder to maintain

More test cases are required, but coverage of parameter interactions increases

Fewer test cases are required, but coverage decreases

What does CRUD testing verify?

The performance of database queries under load

The Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations of data entities

The security of the system against unauthorized access

The system's ability to handle concurrent users
