Which is a testing parinciple?
A
Functional testing
B
Security testing
C
Pesticide paradox
D
Smoke testing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pesticide paradox says that if the same tests are repeated over and over again, eventually, the same set of test cases will no longer identify any new bugs in the system. To overcome this ‘pesticide paradox, ‘ the test cases need to be regularly reviewed and revised.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, testing principle states that – Testing talks about the presence of defects and don’t talk about the absence of defects. i.e. Software Testing reduces the probability of undiscovered defects remaining in the software but even if no defects are found, it is not a proof of correctness.

Detailed explanation-3: -After a test methodology has been used to detect bugs, it becomes ineffective for detecting the remaining bugs that can be inferred from the pesticide paradox.

Detailed explanation-4: -Testing shows the presence of defects. Exhaustive testing is impossible. Early testing. Defect clustering. Pesticide paradox. Testing is context dependent. Absence-of-errors fallacy. 16-Jun-2022
