1. Introduction
This question assesses whether you can distinguish true review success factors from statements that are incorrect or misleading.
Note (EN/KR):
Static testing (including reviews) finds defects, not failures.
정적 테스트(리뷰 포함)는 결함(defects)을 찾으며, 실패(failures)는 실행 기반 테스트에서 발생합니다.
2. Key Concepts
✔ Success Factors in Reviews
- Adequate time allocation 충분한 시간 배정
- Review small, manageable parts 작은 단위로 나누어 리뷰
- Respectful and collaborative behavior 존중하는 태도와 협력적인 분위기
- Objective handling of findings 발견된 결함을 객관적으로 처리
3. Practice Question
❓ Question
Which of these statements is NOT a factor that contributes to successful reviews?
- a) Participants should dedicate adequate time for the review
- b) Splitting large work products into small parts to make the required effort less intense
- c) Participants should avoid behaviors that might indicate boredom, exasperation, or hostility to other participants
- d) Failures found should be acknowledged, appreciated, and handled objectively
✅ Correct Answer: d)
📘 Explanation (EN/KR)
-
a) Not correct. Allocating enough time is a known review success factor.
충분한 시간을 할당하는 것은 성공적인 리뷰의 핵심 요인입니다. -
b) Not correct. Splitting work products into smaller parts increases review effectiveness.
산출물을 작은 단위로 나누면 리뷰 효율성이 증가합니다. -
c) Not correct. Participants avoiding negative behaviors contributes to a safe and effective review environment.
부정적 태도를 피하는 것은 안전하고 생산적인 리뷰 환경을 만듭니다. -
d) Correct. Reviews identify defects, not failures.
“Failures” occur only during dynamic testing when code is executed.
리뷰는 결함(defects)을 찾는 활동이며, 실패(failures)는 동적 테스트 실행 중에만 발생합니다.
✔ Therefore, option (d) is the only statement that does NOT represent a success factor.
✔ 따라서 (d)만 성공 요소와 무관한 문장입니다.
📊 Summary Table
| Option | Statement | Success Factor? | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| a | Adequate time for review | ✔ Yes | 충분한 시간은 성공 요소 |
| b | Split work into smaller parts | ✔ Yes | 작은 단위 리뷰는 효과적 |
| c | Avoid negative behaviors | ✔ Yes | 협업 분위기 조성 |
| d | “Failures” handled objectively | ❌ No | 리뷰는 결함 찾기 활동, 실패 아님 |
4. Summary & Call to Action
Understanding what contributes to successful reviews helps strengthen your knowledge of static testing and prepares you for real-world QA collaboration.
성공적인 리뷰 요인을 이해하면 정적 테스트 전반을 더 잘 이해하고 실제 QA 협업에서도 큰 도움이 됩니다.
