Which of the following statements about mitigations are true? | It is typically expected that the extent of mitigation should mirror the proposed impact. For example, if a project will result in permanent destruction of habitat, mitigation measures will likely require either the creation of new habitat or the protection of habitat, and mitigated habitat should be permanently protec... | https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/conjuring92/wiki-stem-corpus |
Which of the following statements about mitigations are true? | Several factors affect mitigation cost estimates. One is the baseline.

Others are the way costs are modelled, and assumptions about future government policy. | https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/conjuring92/wiki-stem-corpus |
When a test fails, it means that: | Badly written tests, for example ones that include hard-coded error strings, are themselves prone to failure, and they are expensive to maintain. This is especially the case with fragile tests. There is a risk that tests that regularly generate false failures will be ignored, so that when a real failure occurs, it may ... | https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/conjuring92/wiki-stem-corpus |
When a test fails, it means that: | A failure in an early test case breaks a later test case even if no actual fault exists in the UUT, increasing defect analysis and debug efforts.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true about different types of
coverage for coverage-guided fuzzing? | There are a number of coverage criteria, but the main ones are: Function coverage – has each function (or subroutine) in the program been called?

Which of the following is/are true about testing? | Testing is the feedback mechanism in the software development process.

Which of the following is/are true about testing? | Testing is an integral part of software development that needs to be planned.

Which of the following is/are true about fuzzing with sanitizers? | Rather the program's behavior is undefined.

If we compute $\gcd(70,51)$ via Euclid’s extended algorithms, we produce a sequence of $(u, v)$ pairs, the last of which satisfies $\gcd(70,51)=70 imes u + 51 imes v$. Check the correct sequence. | We have s(2P) = s(14,-53) = –593/106 (mod n). Using the Euclidean algorithm: 455839 = 4300·106 + 39, then 106 = 2·39 + 28, then 39 = 28 + 11, then 28 = 2·11 + 6, then 11 = 6 + 5, then 6 = 5 + 1.
