If you are monitoring code coverage during testing to determine what areas still need testing what type of testing is likely occurring?
Correct Answer: B
* Context Analysis:
* Monitoring code coverage is inherently tied to knowledge of the internal structure of the software, a characteristic of white-box testing.
* Evaluation of Options:
* A. Black-box:
* Incorrect. Black-box testing focuses on functionality without knowledge of internal structures.
* B. White-box:
* Correct. White-box testing uses internal code knowledge to determine areas that need more coverage.
* C. Functional:
* Incorrect. Functional testing assesses functionality without inspecting internal code.
* D. Non-functional:
* Incorrect. Non-functional testing focuses on performance, usability, etc., not code coverage.
* Syllabus Alignment:
* ISTQB associates code coverage monitoring with white-box testing techniques (TM-1.2.6).
