ISTQB 2018 Foundation Software Testing 2

In which moment of a project's life cycle should the test planning occur?

To overcome the pesticide paradox, we should:

Choose the correct sentence about defects, failures, and errors.

Consider the following criterion: "there are no failures with high severity." What type of criterion can it be?

Traceability between test cases and risk items can allow the testers to:

Choose an example of a white-box test technique.

Which type of testing cannot be planned in advance?

Which of the following is not a typical tester's task according to Foundation Level Syllabus?

A source to determine expected results to compare with the actual results of the system under test is called:

You are testing a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and you have prepared the following test cases: (See image) At the beginning, the CRM database is empty. The execution of each test lasts 5 minutes. You want to execute all three test cases, but in the shortest possible time. What is the reasonable test execution schedule in this situation?

Your project follows a V-model as the life cycle model. It is currently in the "Requirements" phase. What kind of test activities can you perform at this phase?

Figure 7.1 presents the state machine for a part of a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. The operator is able to print reports, create records for new customers, and modify records for already existing customers. What is the number of transitions (0-switches) in this state machine and what is the minimal number of test cases that achieve 0-switch coverage? By a test case, we understand a sequence of events starting from the initial state (S1).

You are working as a tester in a project in which the following documents are available: - Requirements specification - 50 automated test scripts - Test Plan Which of these documents cannot be examined during the review and why?

A word processor can be classified as which type of tool, assuming the classification is done according to the testing activities the tools support?

You are testing the automatic gate controller. The following use case presents the situation of a standard car passing through the gate. You want to cover this test case, according to the standard use case coverage proposed by the Foundation Level Syllabus. Which of the following test cases should NOT be included in the test suite?

Consider the variable DayOfWeek, whose domain is {Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun}. Which of the following is not a correct equivalence partitioning of this domain, no matter what error hypothesis is considered by a tester? Assume that each class is denoted by the curly brackets {...}.

What is the direct consequence of communicating defects by a tester to other team members in an unconstructive way?

Who uses the test charters?

You are asked to perform a review of the user interface prototype for the web-based e-banking application. The interface will be used by the bank clients only. As the application will be used by many different clients, your team has defined the so-called personas that represent different, but typical client types: - A teenager with no income except from the pocket money, experienced with the web technologies - A businessman with high salary and many different accounts, moderately experienced with the wen technologies. - An old women that has sight problems, inexperienced in the web technologies. Your team will conduct the review of the interface from the point of view of these customer types. Which review technique will be the most useful in this case?

Which of the following is an organisational success factor for reviews?

The role of the impact analysis is to:

Structural testing can be performed:

Which of the following test techniques is an extension of the equivalence partitioning?

A user defines her password according to several rules. The rules are: - The password must have at least six characters. - The password must contain at least one numerical character (0, 1, ..., 9). - The password must contain at least one capital letter. Assume that each rule defines a separate equivalence partitioning on the set of all strings. Each rule defines one valid and one invalid equivalence class. Each test case can cover only one invalid equivalence class. Which set of input values in the smallest set that achieves the equivalence partitioning coverage?

The RiskEvaluator application assesses the risk of admitting a loan for a customer. It makes the decision upon four conditions, chosen by a client from the drop-down lists. The conditions are: * age - possible answers: - under 18 - between 18 and 35 - between 36 and 65 - over 65 * education - possible answers: - elementary or high school - undergraduate - graduate * place of living - possible answers: - city - village If a client selects age "under 18", the field "education" is automatically filled with "elementary or high school" and the client is not able to change this value. The output can be one of the following: * Low risk * Medium risk * High risk How many columns will have the decision table for this problem assuming that it contains only the feasible combinations of conditions?

Which of the following is an example of a product risk?

Your team follows the sequential model with three phases: requirements, design, code, and testing. Your team uses the following approach to estimate the number of defects detected in the testing phase. Input: dREQ = number of defects found in the requirement phase dDES = number of defects found in the design phase dCOD = number of defects found in the coding phase Output: dTES = estimated number of defects that escaped to the testing phase E = estimated effort (in man-hours) needed to fix the defects found in the testing phase Estimations: dTES = 0.2 . dCOD + 0.1 . dDES + 0.06 . dREQ The constants in the formulas come from the previous experience of your team in the similar projects. The approach described above is an example of what test estimation technique?

Which of the following is an example of how product risk analysis may influence the thoroughness and scope of testing?

Analysing defects in order to propose preventive actions so that this defect's reoccurrence can be avoided is a process that is called:

What should be taken into account when we plan to use a keyword-driven approach?

You are preparing to perform the acceptance testing of an invoice management system. Which of the following is the best test basis for this task?

Why is it a good reason to collect test metrics?

Evaluating testability of the test basis and test items takes place during which phase of the testing process.

You need to decide which version of the architectural design will be used in your project. Which type of review would be the most appropriate for discussing this issue?

You test one of the on-line banking system functions that verifies the correctness of the PIN for a credit card. A valid PIN: *Must contain at least 4 and at most 6 digits *Must contain at least 2 different digits You want to apply a 2-point boundary value analysis for checking that the system follows the two above rules. A test case consists of a PIN number. Which set of test cases covers all the boundary values that you need to test?

Which action is done by a moderator during the "review initiation" step of a formal review?

A tester wrote the following defect report regarding the financial application, which grants loans up to $10,000. What is wrong with this defect report?

Suppose you have three test cases: * Test 1 gives you 20% decision coverage. * Test 2 gives you 30% decision coverage. * Test 3 gives you 30% decision coverage. What is the possible decision coverage that can be achieved by a test suite consisted only of these three tests?

What can we be sure about, if we achieved 100 statement coverage of a given code?

Choose a good example of why testing is necessary.
