Correct answer: D. In white-box testing, test cases are decided from specifications or requirements
Explanation
Deriving test cases from the specification or the requirements, without any knowledge of the internal code, is the definition of black-box testing; white-box (structural) testing derives its test cases from the program's internal logic, control flow and data flow. So statement 4 is the incorrect one. The other three are all true: Pareto analysis is the 80–20 statistical technique used in software quality assurance to find the few causes responsible for most defects, reliability is formally the probability of failure-free operation over a stated period in a stated environment, and MTTF is one of the accepted quantitative reliability measures. Hence the answer is the white-box testing statement.More Software Engineering questions
