Q6. Which one of the following captures the basic idea based on which design of the equivalence classes of a function based on its specification is carried out?
a. A set of input values constitute an equivalence class if the tester believes these are processed identically.
b. A set of test cases constitute an equivalence class, if the tester believes that these are processed differently

Q1. Which of the following best defines an infeasible test path?
a)An infeasible test path is one that does not exist in the graph.
b)An infeasible test path is one that can be executed by a failed test case.
c)An infeasible test path is one that cannot be executed by any test case.
d)An infeasible test path is one that does not start at an initial vertex or end at a final vertex.
Answer: b)An infeasible test path is one that can be executed by a failed test case.
Q2.How are test requirements defined and met in graphs-based structural coverage criteria?
a)Test requirements are basically the same as test paths, they are given as test paths.
