This document contains 40 questions about software testing concepts that are answered in the book "Foundations of Software Testing" by Dorothy Graham, Erik van Veenendaal, Isabel Evans, and Rex Black. The questions cover topics like test policies versus strategies, why testing is necessary, types of tests like static and dynamic tests, regression testing, the pesticide paradox, errors versus failures, test analysis and design, test control, and the overall software testing process.
