Quick Questions
Shade in the A or B circle for each question.
1. A test table has one row for each what?
2. Which set of columns belongs in a test table?
3. Which column says WHY you are running the test, such as 'check the lowest allowed mark'?
4. Where do you write the answer you predicted BEFORE running the program?
5. A tester runs a program and sees it print 12. Which column do they write 12 in?
B
Match the Pairs
Draw a line connecting each item on the left to its match on the right.

Answer Key
Test table layout
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
A — Test case
Q2
A — Test number, purpose, input, expected result, actual result, pass/fail
Q3
A — Purpose
Q4
B — Expected result column
Q5
B — Actual result
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
Test | Purpose | Input | Expected | Actual | Pass/Fail → The column headings of a test table: one column for each part of a test case.
Q2
2 | Boundary | 100 | Accepted | Accepted | Pass → One complete row of a test table, which records a single test case from number to verdict.
Q3
The input and expected result columns hold what you plan to test, decided before running the program → Input: 18 | Expected: Accepted
Q4
The actual result and pass/fail columns record what really happened when the test was run → Actual: Rejected | Result: Fail
Q5
1 | Normal and boundary | 50, 100 | Accepted | Accepted | Pass → Two tests are squeezed into one row. A test table needs one row per test, so this should be split into two rows (test 1 with input 50 and test 2 with input 100).
Q6
3 | Abnormal | -5 | Rejected | | Pass → The actual result column is blank but a Pass is recorded. You must run the test and write the actual result before deciding pass or fail.
Section C: Definitions
Q1
test table — A table with one row per test case. Its columns are test number, purpose, input, expected result, actual result and pass or fail.Section D: Fill in the Blanks
Q1
row = {"test": 1, "purpose": "Normal mark"}Q2
row = {"input": 85, "expected": "Pass"}Q3
row = {"expected": 5, "actual": 5}Q4
if actual == expected:
print("PASS")Q5
tests = [(1, 50), (2, 0), (3, 100)]
rows = len(tests)
print(rows)Section E: Spot the Error
Q1
B — The purpose column holds a text description, so it must be a string in quotes: purpose = "Normal value". Without quotes Python reads it as code and fails.
Q2
D — Every row needs the same columns. This row has no expected result, so it doesn't line up with the others. It should be (3, "Abnormal", -1, "Err").
Q3
B — enumerate starts counting at 0 by default. Test numbers in a test table start at 1, so the line should be enumerate(ps, 1).
Q4
C — A test passes when the actual result matches the expected result. Using != marks matching results as PASS and different ones as FAIL. It should be ==.
Q5
D — Each test gets its own row with its own test number. Number 2 is used twice, so the third test is not numbered 3. The row should start with 3.
