Defect taxonomies are categorized lists of defects that can be used to identify and prevent common types of errors in software development and testing. They can also be used to design test cases that target specific defect types, such as security vulnerabilities. Therefore, using a list of known defect types to penetrate the security of computer systems is an example of the use of defect taxonomies. References = Defect Taxonomies - The Practical Guide to Defect Prevention (Chapter 10), Using Defect Taxonomies for Testing Requirements, Defect Based Approach using Defect Taxonomy, Requirements-based testing with defect taxonomies

Exhibit B is the only state transition diagram that matches the text description of Acme’s elevator door rules. It shows that the doors can transition between four states: Opened, Closing, Closed, and Opening. The transitions are triggered by either commands (open or close) or sensors (opened or closed). The diagram also shows that the open command can reverse the closing state, and the close command can reverse the opening state, as specified in the text. The other exhibits do not show the correct transitions or conditions for the elevator door system. References =

Classification trees are a combinatorial testing technique that allows the tester to represent the data items and their values in a graphical form, and to exclude certain combinations by using constraints or rules. Classification trees can help the tester to visualize and organize the test data, and to generate test cases that cover all relevant combinations of values. The other techniques do not provide a convenient way to exclude certain combinations, or require more complex mathematical calculations. References =
