Python Institute PCET Sample Questions:

01. Each commit to a customer-management platform triggers an automated Flake8 run that reports indentation violations, unused imports and inconsistent naming. The application itself is never started by this check. Which kind of testing does the check represent?

a) Integration testing

b) Static testing

c) Dynamic testing

d) Acceptance testing

02. A team is refactoring a Python order-processing module before adding new functionality. They want better readability, less duplicated logic and easier maintenance. Which practices support these goals?

(Choose two.)

a) Rewrite the existing unit tests to match the new internal structure.

b) Add nested conditionals so every edge case is handled at the call site.

c) Break long functions into smaller, focused ones.

d) Apply the DRY principle to the repeated logic.

03. Flake8 is run over a Python project and reports inconsistent indentation and missing spaces around arithmetic operators in several modules. What kind of finding is being reported?

a) A departure from the project's coding style conventions

b) An unused import left behind by an earlier change

c) A syntax error that stops the modules from being imported

d) A logic defect in the arithmetic the modules perform

04. A QA manager is confirming that the testing process for a large enterprise release covers execution tracking and release-quality reporting before deployment is approved. Which activities belong to the test execution and test reporting phases?

(Choose two.)

a) Provision the test environment and load the required test data.

b) Record the actual outcome of each test case as it is run.

c) Summarize the defects found, the coverage reached and a recommendation.

d) Define the scope, schedule and resources for the test effort.

05. Before testing order processing in a Python e-commerce application, a tester divides the product-quantity input into groups the code should treat the same way and takes one value from each group.

Which black box technique is being applied?

a) Decision table testing

b) Statement coverage

c) Boundary value analysis

d) Equivalence partitioning

06. A Python web application emits records through the logging module at the DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR and CRITICAL levels. What do those levels give the team?

a) Raising a record to CRITICAL halts the program at that point, as a failed assertion would.

b) The level decides where a record is written, so handlers need no separate configuration.

c) Each record carries a severity, so output can be filtered to the detail a situation needs.

d) Every record reaches the console whatever level it carries, so the level only documents intent.

07. Pylint reports several variables in a customer-management module that are assigned but never used. Why is that finding treated as a maintainability problem?

a) The reader must account for code that contributes nothing to the behavior

b) Pylint deletes the assignment automatically when the scan completes

c) Each unused variable is re-evaluated on every call and slows the function

d) The interpreter refuses to import a module that contains an unused variable

08. A tester with several years on similar payment systems runs an unscripted, time-boxed session in which cases are designed and run together, and separately targets the inputs that broke comparable systems in the past.

Which techniques are being used?

(Choose two.)

a) Boundary value analysis, derived from the specified input ranges

b) Error guessing, drawn from defects seen on comparable systems

c) Decision table testing, enumerating the combinations of conditions

d) Exploratory testing, designed and executed in the same session

09. Developers and testers meet, and the author of a module leads the group through it in sequence, explaining the reasoning while the others ask questions and note concerns. Which static testing technique is being used?

a) Walkthrough

b) Informal review

c) Automated static analysis

d) Inspection

10. An engineer restructures a large Python validation module: nested helpers are flattened, long functions are split, and repeated logic is gathered into one place. The team calls the work refactoring.

What must hold for that description to be accurate?

a) The existing unit tests are updated to match the module's new internal shape.

b) A defect noticed during the restructuring is corrected in the same change.

c) The module's externally observable behavior is unchanged once the work is finished.

d) The module runs measurably faster after its structure has been simplified.
