At the bottom of the graphic, centered on the slide, is a side view of a printed circuit board assembly referred to as the Engine Board. The Engine Board is about 60% the width of the slide. Above the Engine Board is a large yellow rectangle that is as wide as the Engine Board and twice the height. It is labeled "Linux Operating System and Device Drivers." Above the Linux Operating System and Device Drivers rectangle is a smaller red rectangle that is approximately one-third the width and one-half the height of the Linux Operating System and Device Drivers rectangle. It is labeled "API Software" and centered over the Linux Operating System and Device Drivers rectangle. Above the API Software rectangle is green rectangle of that is about 10% wider than the previous and the same height. It is labeled "Application Software." The Application Software rectangle is aligned to the right so that only 25% of the rectangle is over the API Software rectangle. Above the Application SW rectangle is a gray slightly smaller rounded rectangle. It is approximately one-third the width and the same height as the Application Software rectangle below it. It is labeled "Operational User" and it is centered above the API Software rectangle, the Linux Operating System and Device Drivers rectangle and the Engine Board. Between the Engine Board and the Linux Operating System and Device Drivers rectangle and between the Linux Operating System and Device Drivers rectangle and the API Software rectangle are heavy solid double arrows pointing upwards and downwards. Between the right side of the API Software rectangle and the left side of the Applications Software rectangle is a heavy solid double arrow pointing upwards and downwards. Between the right side of the API Software rectangle and the left side of the Application Software rectangle is a heavy solid double arrow pointing upwards and downwards.

The third box has a fork symbol, the word "Fork," and a 5. The next row appears to be tabs that are selectable by the user. There are various small symbols next to each tab representative of their function. The tabs in order left to right are "Code," "Issues 2," "Pull requests 0," "Projects 0," "Pulse" and "Graphs." It appears that the Code tab is being displayed. Below the tables is a title "APIVS Repository." Below the title is a slender rectangle that extends across the screen. In it are the items on a single line as follows: "123 commits," "1 branch," "0 releases," "5 contributors" and "GPL-2.0." Each of the items has a small symbol next to the representative of their function. Below the rectangle there are four rectangular buttons, two on the left and two on the right of the screenshot. The leftmost button says "Branch: master." The button just to the right of it says "New pull request." The rightmost button says "Clone or download." The button just to the left of it says "Find file." The bottom one-half of the screen shot appears to be a table representative of a file system.

Review of Answers

A small graphical red and yellow X representing incorrect.a) True
Incorrect. If a tester wants to view full logging, it is better to do this on selected tests.

A small graphical green and yellow check mark representing correct.b) False
Correct! Logging all of the data creates a voluminous report and makes understanding the results difficult. While full logging on all tests can be done, it is advised that testers repeat their test with full logging for tests that failed previously.
